            Hi Chris
            Just had a catch up. Amazing planning and work. I wouldn't know where to start and to be honest I don't understand how all this electronic stuff works.
            Doesn't stop me from being very impressed.
            Jim

              That's a lot of wiring and connections Chris!

                  THANKS Jim im feeling my way as I build this S/S as it may have to be altered again but will see further in the build but at least the power wires are there so that's something as it would be very difficult to fit all these if I went ahead an just built every thing

                        This is a fascinating build. I think a large aspect of the creative hobbies is the time spent in bed, in the shower, or going to the shops when we think through all the technical aspects of how are we going to do this or that. What has to be born in mind for the next step in the process and how will the subsequent steps be affected. It looks like this project is providing you with countless little challenges that you are skillfully working your way through.

                        Bravo
                        John

                          Just quality. Way beyond my skill level but I am learning much.

                                Hey Chris
                                Awesome work on the electrics. It all looks very complicated, and I’m sure I don’t know where all those wires are leading, or what they will do in the finished model, but I’m glad you do! Fascinating seeing this ship being brought to life.
