amateur Posted September 21, 2016 Share #634 Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) His photobucket-account did not change for a long time.

Anja Posted September 26, 2016 Share #639 Posted September 26, 2016 Hello all @ Allan Thanks for the tip. I checked Linkedin, but I am not a premium member. I just received an answer from Chris. He is fine and has been busy working on Victory instructions and plans (which are now complete) and a small modeller's manual for Amati, which he has also just finished. Chris requested a change in his email for MSW, as his old address is no longer available. He will post an update once the re-activation of his account, due to the email address change, is done.

chris watton Posted September 27, 2016 Share #642 Posted September 27, 2016 Hi! Sorry I haven't been on here for a while. In the day my time is take up working for Amati and in the evenings I am busy trying to keep fit, after deciding that I needed to lose weight a couple of years ago.. As Anja wrote, Victory is complete and took me longer to finish than I thought. It was new territory for me as I haven't designed anything this complex before, and the plans and instructions reflected this. (31 full size plan sheets and a 114 page instruction manual (A3 size) containing well over 1000 line drawings and photographs). It came to a point where I thought I'd never finish this. but I was very conscious of the fact that it was no good designing such a detailed and complex kit and not putting in the time to make the plans and instructions as thorough as they can be. I have just completed a little modeller's manual, which Amati asked me to do, which I submitted only a couple of weeks ago. I am now working on Prince after having re-designed it for a third time after the lessons learned designing Victory - I am awaiting the brand new carvings. And that's where I am up to.

If you are walking and working out I think you will find your mind also sharpens up and you jsut feel much more energy and creativity. Best Jaxboat P.S., Hope the Wiener dogs are doing well.

Are they training with you, too? Thanks Yes, I started working out in May 2014 after seeing a pic of myself! I was over 90kg (at 5'7"), and am now 72kg. The top part of my body is now wider than the bottom part! Buying a home gym and weights and permanent change in diet must be one of my best ever investments.

Prince is looking great too. Thank you - there was a time when I thought I'd never finish Victory, was beginning to give me nightmares! I did actually weigh the Victory model when at Amati. I believe it came in at around 8kg. I thought it would be heavier. This was the completed model, without the superfluous material (and plans and instructions) that comes with the kit, so perhaps the actual kit box would weigh well over 14kg.
