boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

More superb work Chris, it's the little details that really bring the thing to life. You're another one with the patience of a saint. Have to agree with Scottie though perhaps Matron can help :hungry:

many thanks Mick but as i said NO MATRON I gather you all want to see this finished well if she gets me thats it i'll end up bonkers like Richard lol

Yeah Chris........maybe Matron can show you where the extra channels are so you can make this baby operational!! :tongue-out3: :smiling5: :tongue-out2::thumb2:

WOW Rick even she could not do it as the R/X is full bar the channel that will work the guns SO SORRY LOL

AN HI Gerry how did you guess about ladyies nicker elastic ? was it when i said about ladyies ? as yes thats what im waitin on as it should stretch just nice but not to strong that the micro servo wont pull up an elevate the guns so see how i get on with it when it comes or as you say a light spring out of a pen may do it will see how it all goes an thank you sayin i desever the lions dangle bits lol :rolling::smiling:

Knicker elastic is never strong given the correct incentives ...

Hi chris

its been a little while since I checked in and all I can say is; wow! She is certainly coming together.

One question about the colour of deck which you may be able to help me with: what do you think the deck flooring would have been in the ward room of HMS Bulldog in 1945? I ask becasue for many years I have toyed with the idea of a boxed diorama depicting the signing of the German surrender aboard HMS Bulldog in 1945.

Almost certainly Teak or Oak mate - the Andrew loved it and used it wherever possible !

WELL Steve without the correct incentives .lol i dont want it too strong due the micro servo may not be strong enough to elevate the guns so it gonna be a lot of trail an error im afraid
