That sounds like a good reason to me.

Thanks, when I get my head round this new computer, I might get some modelling done, at the moment, it seems to have a mind of it's own.

Agreed with Zak, wonderful to see the finished article.  That is DEFINITELY my favourite model on the table ever.  Makes it even more special seeing it come together on here.  That other lot really don't know what they're missing.  I do wish they would make the effort and support the website a bit more!

I second that!

I was deeply impressed by HMS Queen Elizabeth, a true marvel to behold. What's next I wonder?

   For those who may be interested. If you go to the BBC i-player and navigate your way to " Scotland" there are two programs entitled " Scotland's war at sea ". They are about the war at sea during WW1, there's some news-reel footage of the ships and some computer animation of the battles, could be of interest to Martin,  Dave, Terry and anyone else that has an interest in that period. Queen Elizabeth gets a mention. Enjoy.

Hi Haddock,
Thanks for the heads up. I will have a look at that, I am interested in the historical stuff like that, what I would call 'recent history'
I also like the computer graphics, which if done well give a true sense of what happens, and when and where.
