Just about to start another project, this will be initially be the Graf Spee and then who knows?
I have the Trumpeter kit of the ship in 1/700 scale, it says it represents the ship in 1937.

Cheek, I don't think so, it will take at least a week, working 6-8 hours a day, none of this part time employment for me.
I actually started this on Thursday and this is the progress so far.

o
Probably 3 models in 5 days, or is it 3/5 of a model in a day.
If a man and a half digs a hole and a half in a day and a half, how much will you give me for a barrel load of one eyed policemen?

Hi Zak,
Very nice work.
Haddock and Msea will be encouraged at another member being drawn into the 'dark side' (well for the time being...)
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better
