  3. everything looks so clean neat and tidy, i just so wish mine was, lovely work, and I love following your log
  4. although a ocean going liner there is not a lot of clear deck area without the clutter of vents etc was there?
  5. 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

  16. 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
  17. 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
