    You deserve a medal for even taking this on. I wondered if it had beaten even you :rolling:

      For the larger card models, you need commitment & stamina! - not to mention a lot of spare space whilst you are building it!

            Now then chaps, remember this?!

            Chris. Anyone who has tackled one of these fiendish inventions knows to take a big, sometimesterminal break from making the the infernal things.

            Progress thus far. Pick it up, do a bit, put it down.....

                570 I missed this completely, so have read through from the start.
                I did note that in your tool kit there was no mention or photo of the mallet, as an ex wood butcher I was concerned.
                Like Chris I hope to see further instalments.

                  Keep at it Ron. It was one of the most beautiful warships ever built. I suppose Victory comes first. Ha ha in many ways to wards completion.

                  The "Mighty" Hood took 2 years from laying down to launch. Are you on schedule Ron.

                    I'm still suffering from nose bleeds from the last session with the b*****d!

                    I will finish it.
