      Chris, I'll send you my number by pm later, it's about a couple of hours from mine to sheringham on a quiet day (high summer and weekends would probably be a lot longer!)

            It'd be good to spend a day there :thumb2: - not been that way for years, not even sure if I've ever been up there with my wife - Castle Acre, Lynn and West Norfolk, yes, but not sure about the Wells, Sheringham, Cromer, Mundesley area - or even round to Yarmouth/Lowestoft :thinking:

                    Hi Chris
                    Superb work. The lighting really bring it to life. Love that steaming funnel. The work on the Sea King is just the icing on the cake.
                    A truly amazing build to follow.
                    Jim

                                an im working on the controll board to work the helo as there is 12v power reducer down to 3v for the helo motors an a another reducer from 12v down to 6v for the lights leds an a straight 12v wires to work the flightdeck landing lights leds hopefully should look good
                                here below the controll board an it will be wired in today wanted to do it yesterday but had a boaty m8 come over as he wanted to see tiger altogether an working so today the board will be fitted in an wires up to the flightdeck then i can make a proper start on that seaking an the micro servo fitted to knock on the micro switch to start the seaking on an off
