All ye visitors, thanks for the likes and the comments

 

Piet good to see you browsing the forum ... my next build ... difficult question

 

Jo, Yes, I have seen that one before and have thought about it. Not overly expensive, and it might just appear in my stash without me knowing it myself. However, I have a shared build waiting for me. The PE is in, as is the kit. I have a fierce co builder. He finished the build some time ago, and it seems I'm dragging my feet. We shall see ...

 

So today I will paint the rudder, and varnish the hull. Furtermore, I found the missing piece: A search light. North Star models sent the wrong PE for the light I ordered. Several months later I am still waiting for their response. If I can find another supplier for certain items it will have been their last sale to me.

 

So the next build ... watch for a post after this one (I hope soon :P)

Hi Carl

 

It’s certainly been a while since I popped in, but I’ve enjoyed catching up.  Your boat’s looking very smart.  The camo’s nice, the railings and all the other details add to the realism of the build.  Nice job!

 

Like the others have asked, I’m also curious as to what your next build’s going to be.  No hints yet, I suppose?

 

Have a great week.

 

Cheers. 

 

Patrick

Gawd, you still have that weird Aussie accent, and smeared your body with vegemite, Bruce? Sorry: Greg. I thought by now you had outgrown your childhood fears

Patrick, good to see you around again. Thanks for the thumbs up it really helps. You didn't click the link in post #302 ... SMS Seydlitz is coming up. Can't let Greg be a liar now can I. He has enough to deal with avoiding all those dropping bears :)

Jack,

Now you have spoiled his conviction in the existence of the drop bears. However, there is a Killer Kangaroo species! So they should take care downunder

I knew, as it's the same on the other side of the pond (Northern hemisphere) But what about the southern, where Greg resides???

Thanks Lou. Just a bit more body to the algea and yet another build is finished. After that I can spend the little time I've left to continue on Seydlitz ;)
