            Just had a great read up on this Chris.... and very enjoyable it was too.
            What a superb result your hard work has brought to fruition,(and that's without ALL of that intricate wiring,which won't be seen )
            Absolutely fantastic stuff mate,you must, rightly,be chuffed to bits

                        Fantastic to see the mighty Tiger back on centre stage of dock. What a superb build at every level

                        Well done Chris

                          So what’s next then Chris? Finishing her is going to leave a big hole in your life that will need filling.

                              YES it will tim but my mate paul was thinkin of building her with the chopper flight deck on before he met me last year so he is now doin just the gun cruiser to be different but to help him build his ship he bought the tiger like mine in 1/700 scale so as he is not now building my vershion he has given me the kit so i may go from one end of the scale to the other an do a dio build with the small tiger all at sea so if i do that then i'll be askin you guys how i go about makin the seascape as it a water line kit
                              chrisb ps i was thinking of doinin hms clyde in 1/48th scale but with my age an health i'll have good think on it cheers Tim atb
