The Admirals gallery…
I have just started putting this together. I have glued the railings starting with the aft end and will bend and glue as each part sets. This is largely because if I bend it all in advance I never seem to get the radius exactly right. 
The kit cover was then applied the photo shows the gallery inverted !!
The cranes…
They are quite delicate but go together well. As you can see they differ slightly at the top as I only noticed that Academy supply more parts for it after assembling the first one. These are now set aside pending painting and fitting later when all is ready.
So, finally two photos of the situation so far… 
The deck has now had three washes and is darkening down nicely without distortion.
Hull weathering…
I have started to apply light weathering to the hull before really attacking it. I have positioned most of the bits that I have finished but have not fixed them. I don’t want problems with hitting assembled parts when I am finishing the weathering on the hull.
