          Absolutely brilliant build Chris. It puts us plastic gluers to shame.

              COR cheers John but you plastic builders produce some very nice model so there is no shame in my thoughts as i love lookin at the great builds on here as im am just an avarage moddeller in my opinion but thanks for stoppin an havin a look in at the build an yes its got quite a few pages far more than i thought it would but that because this is a big build an when i first see the plans i thought what have i let myself in for but im enjoyin the build immensely

                  'Average' modeller... dream on mate! But perhaps your tea-brewing skills need some practise!

                        A question many probably think Chris. After my French street corner Dio the desire to set fire to a model or parts of it is building

                        I've several builds to do first though, the Mossie to finish and then the Dusty Bin ( The German mobile bunker that reminded many on here of the TV show prop hence the name of Dusty Bin ) so after that who knows !:tongue-out3::tongue-out2::smiling3::nerd:

                        Chris as it's now 10: 29 having had my toast and black coffee in bed I shall now get up !!!!

                            Chris, I really don't know what is left to say about this build. Awesome doesn't seem enough. My hat is truly doffed.

                              HI Scottie many thanks for your nice comments on my work on tiger an yes im very pleased at how it turning out but she is now getting heavy so may leave some small bits off anything to save wheite.
                              An im not goin to fit the main deck railing till she floated to see how she IS balanced if she is too heavy then i will just turn her upside down an remove the keel wheight as it just bolted on the keel.

                              An today im not doin anymore building till i get that gun fire sound unit as there is a lot to do on that as at the moment i havnt got any idea how it will all work till i see it an the gent emailed me yesterday to say he is hopein to work on it again this saterday so i just hope he does an i only hope its a small unit as he is goin to fit in it an ampyfiyer so that it will really sound out.


                              So at the moment ive just fitted the ship togeather to find out what channell on my T/X will do what an im making a list up an to test if anything not working as the motors havnt been run for severall months BUT they all work ok but there is that much power goin through them that they blew a 30 amp fuse but i think it was a poor qauilty fuse so i fitted a better one in an no probs the motors ran fine but i think i will get some 35 amp fuses to be on the safe side as when the ship in the water there will be more load on the props with the water so the motors may draw a higher current but i will only find this out when she is in the wet stuff. So there is a lot that can go wrong but just got to hope she will sail ok ANYWAY Scottie sorry for droanin on but this is all important on this model
                              ATB cheers for stoppin

                                A large nail was always recommended if you needed a strong fuse !:anguished:
                                Of course you could end up with a truly great fire Chris which would upset you no end :smiling3:
