I did follow Mark's log as well.

Those years I was too young to know anything about the world outside my garden and when those kind of events became of interest to me the world was if not altogether peaceful it was uneventful til '82 and the Falklands war. But to hear from someone who was part of "history" albeit recent makes it all the more interesting. So thankyou Lou and Mark 👍👍

PS your recollections are the real  thing and not a filmmakers take on it.

Just putting the exhaust on makes it unmistakably a Spit!😃

If they come head on they won't see it til the last minute, as in the first photo it blends in and night on disappears 🤔

Looks really good, liking the fact you  put in the garden for that extra impact!!😁😁👍

Where has this build been hiding over the last few days? I am beginning to think that the  "All unread since last visit" button is not working right for me. Hope it keeps popping up so I can follow Ken. Looks like a potentially interesting build.

It's with being in  the rafters, you can miss stuff😏

These small tours of your service days are riveting, I could read them all day! Same as when my dad talks about his navy days😊👍

Great engine, Superb detail, after this I assume you could build a real one!😏😉

Welcome to MSW Vince 

Looking very nice Lou!😁

Have to figure out how I want to depict Ardennes forest road in winter. 

This one sounds perfect for the Sherman, (see picture above in Lou's post)

We are your captive audience   loads of  pea nuts for us all as I could not get popcorn......carry on.

 

OC.

I got the popcorn  and tell Lou if he wants some brittle he has got to hurry😝

Makes sense,  I'll definitely give it a go. 

It's  moving on 😊 

Does the mock up make the gun rigging easier? I may have to borrow the idea for Triton and Winchelsea 😉👍

I have not decided yet on how I will display this when done.  Maybe a diorama, but who knows. Anyway, the journey begins.

Diorama pleeeease😊

Oh joy😁😉 the Sherman, definitely in for this!! 

Looks a nice kit, as Ken says any goodies on top?

A lovely fishing lugger James,  Chris and Vanguard have come up trumps again! 😁👍

Stunning work😁👍

OMG!!!! how I missed this build is beyond me!!! I just spent the last 1and a half hours catching up on it. It is an absolute brilliant model. The figures just give it that extra zing. I'm just disgusted with myself that it has took me a year to find it. You've done yourself proud OC😃

Please forgive my lateness in coming to this log😟

Thanks OC. I  think it will grow on me ( the last thing I want to do is to plank over it and cause more problems as with the deck height to everything else.) Besides,  after all the deck furniture and cannons are in, the deck may not be that noticable.  Lol.

I think maybe you  are right,  once everything is set on the deck and the masts and rigging is in place the deck will blend in.

IMO it looks fine as in reality it was a work space where everything happened and don't forget it was holystoned frequently. 

That's fantastic stuff EG, I wonder if it's available over here?

Motors looking fine 😁👍

Great looking Tie-fighter,  did you follow Dirks Imperial Star Destroyer?

I'll be around when you do the DB5

I've never seen a remake of the Blue Max.......but yes.......a day without george is like a day without sunshine   

I don't think there is a remake but I wasn't sure if there was some other film with that title,  ya know like The Patriot😉

He's good isn't he!!!😋
