    Thanks Tim my SD14 build was always going to be a long term build, but LOL all mine seam to take forever, 7 years and counting on the Victory, The Fife which has now been Sold was something i always wanted but the wrong subject matter for what i wanted to achieve, so my next build hopefully will accommodate everything i have ever tried to achieve, and that is a large build in a cutaway format with lots of detailing and possibly a little different, Hence the 1/32 steam trawler

    Good evening everyone some of you know i was building a cold war destroyer HMS Fife in 1/72 scale, but i was approached and ask if i would be interested in parting with her, which after a couple of months i sold her on, with the funds from that i have put them towards my next build before i do that i must complete or show willing to the wife that i will complete HMS Victory, which has been on and off the work bench for 7 years now so i have started this thread to use as a testing ground for ideas and research the new build is 1/32 scale - 66 inches long, made by a UK company Mountfllet models BUT there is more (more i hear you say) yes i will be opening up one side and displaying here as a static cutaway here is my first picture of the kit, which will be ordered after the Warwick show which i believe to be early next month http://www.mountfleetmodels.co.uk/st-nectan.html

    Good evening David, agreed i will complete the spars hopefully in the next few weeks, and then try and do as much coil making done and fitted before access is to restricted
  18. Kevin
    Good afternoon everyone two spars are now finished, but as they all connect to one another, i am unable to get them in place until all 11 are completed, took her outside for some vitamin S and blow more dust off
