That's the trouble these days. With far too much flying through the pages, I too miss loads of stuff.

Well Ron you did it again. Another masterpiece.
Brought back a few memories. As you said in an earlier post about can’t imagine what it must have been like. The last thing anyone at sea wants to hear is the fire alarm!! You can’t run out of the building to a safe area at sea, there is no safe area.
I think you have captured the sense of destruction and fear brilliantly.

Well you have done it again, modelled a lifelike hand and used a WW2 photo as the background.
Don't think much of the hand model, but the ship really looks the part. Well done and well done again for the preentation in black and white.

I'm still around mate, life gets in the way of wanting to build but it doesn't stop me from appreciating everyone else's creations and there's some fantastic creations out there!
