"Want to get the Italeri Schnellboot S38 in 1/35 scale but, and its a big but, got to convince 'She who must be obeyed' to let me buy it."
Andy, welcome to the forum. Ref the boat - sneak it in wrapped in decorative Xmas paper and tell her it is something for Xmas - she will think it is a new dress, but find the biggest pot you can and wear it over Xmas...

That is sneaky - but sounds good! I wish I'd had a camera when I brought my 1/35 Dora home and SWMBO saw the box! (It's so big it would not fit in the boot of my Merc 230 - I had to put it on the back seat).

Welcome to this forum, Andy.
It seems we Andy are becoming a crowd or Andy(s) are more prone to modelling than others...

I posted pictures about - ooohhh, I can't remember when! Certainly before you started your Tiger, so seriously ancient history now. Not worth taking pics now after many years of general shelf rot and bits knocked off during cat explorations of my spare room!

Ah, that is a bit of a problem, we've the advantage of taking over one of the bedrooms, kids left years ago. She who must be obeyed, has one side of the room for sewing and I have other side, well more of a corner actually.
Its certainly a beast of a model.

[boatman]
