      Thanks for all your great comments chaps. I'm well pleased you approve of my Cornflakes Box L.C.!

      As some of you will recall, I lost my best mate recently. As a result I had to 'Get away' from it all for a while. My wife and I piled stuff into our camper and went up to the N.W. coast of Scotland and did a bit of Island Hopping courtesy of Calmac Ferries. We returned yesterday.

      Jeez, I needed that break and am now back to some sense of normality.

      Cheers.
      Ron

            Glad the break helped. A lot of problems with Calmac ferries at the moment. An ageing fleet, new ships way behind schedule and frequent breakdowns. Friends of ours on Lewis are fed up.

              Welcome back young Ron! Glad your break did you some good.

              Another excellent bit of wreckery there. You sure you wasn't some kind of demolitions expert in a previous life?

                    Thanks chaps. It's good to be back and firing on all cylinders......so far. :smiling4:

                    Crud done. More PVA and crushed up gravel. My poor drive!
                    The L.C. will be at a greater depth than the tank and aircraft, so less light means less marine growth.
                    So apart from a bit more junk and a bit of weed etc., it's more or less done.

                    Then to simulate a bit of depth, I will 'Blue' it all.....

                        Shep Paine would be proud of those builds Ron. I sit in awe of your talent.

                          Hi Ron
                          Crud looks spot on.

                          I thought when it came to crud you were a Weetabix man. Maybe Mrs Ron has locked the larder to protect her comestibles :tongue-out3:

                            I'm "incrudulous" when it comes to your creativity Mr. Ron ......anxiously awaiting further developments.

                              The plane reminded me of that sunken one I did years ago-your looks superb, love the tail and rudder framing-spot on mate.

                              The landing craft is amazing scratchy-makey-thingy, top work from card and some plasticard. I was almost upset to see you destroy it looked so good...I of course, did say nearly, and I realised that it was to be knackered, crusty and just a mess...cheered me right back up.

                              Lovely work so far you Royal-Ronness.
