Old Collingwood Posted December 4, 2021 Share #1058 Posted December 4, 2021 Mate just an observation - that Boot line looks a little low, she is showing lots of freeboard like she is light in the water. that armour rib above looks like the kind of hight the boot should be.

RGL Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share #1060 Posted December 4, 2021 Yes I understand what you’re saying, I’ve pretty much gone off the painting guide for the ship, I played around with it before I painted her and when I went higher it seemed odd from the original photos Jack12477, mtaylor and Old Collingwood 3 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BANYAN Posted December 10, 2021 Share #1068 Posted December 10, 2021 Agreed re franchises, but they are now talking of further diversifying into larger shops selling electronics and electrical gear also.
