Yes Haddock they have just flown past my window as well - think it will be a while to get this finished, the brass davits etc are very slow work, but as long as I am enjoying the making its OK with me.
I have never been bothered about having finished models to show people, its the actual making of the model I enjoy. That could be why I flit from model to model and put them down when the FUN/ENJOYMENT is not at full level. BEFORE anybody take me to task for my comments - just remember its a hobby and not life or death ( that's football - hohohho)
