              I looked in at the right time and just seen the test results. Congratulations! Normally at this point there should be champagne whacked at the bow with a blessing and name officially bestowed. Happy for you Christopher.
              Do you have snakes in your part of the country?...if it's here I would wear gloves when tipping any of the stuff that's in the garden.

              Cheers,
              Richard

                  Excellent Chris, very well done sir!!

                  Thats one mighty fine ship. Looks fantastic in its element!!

                  Delighted the many tests were successful, as many have said a masterclass in scratching!!!!!!!!!

                  Thats one big bath, you must be tough bathing outside

                    Congratulations Chris, glad it went so well. To have only those few leaks is testimony to your build skill.

                          I now realise it's a whole other world when you want your models to be functional rather than just for looking at.

                          Great work Chris - right first time!
