Yes I have been up in the loft and retrieved this from many years ago - its the Trumpeter 1/700 scale cruiser and also the White Ensign (that shows how long its been in the loft) set of etch brass for it. The base has been made and will be cleaned up at playday and the seam down the center of the hull removed - sorry Haddock but she will be displayed on plinths not in the water.
She was laid down in 1974 and commissioned in 1980.  Most people call her a "Battlecruiser" because of her size but he Russians just called her a "Heavy nuclear powered guided missile cruiser" 
Now will the fingers and eyes be still able to work on a 1/700 scale or will it end up in the box of shame

We will find out on Sunday - I will bring my KGB interogation kit with me - hohohhoho

Just think of the FUN you have had fettling this one down to shape - hohohhoho

GREAT work - for the siege, how about Avaricum or going back even further how about Rhodes in 304BC (will not make any jokes about you seeing both of these in person - hohohhoho )

Love the attention to detail - its looking great

I hope you noticed that aggressor - Martin the Mean!

I think you mean "Martin the Meek" - but just you wait. 
I also think you are correct about "Neil of the Robin" legs, we don't want to frighten any club members who are of a nervous disposition - hohohhoho

Don't know but double trigger and looks like something over the top of the barrel - will go and think about it. 
Whatever it is you have done a great job on making it if its 3D printed.

Thanks Chris but a good coat of Flory wash will dull them all down 

Looks OK to me - but what do I know hohohoho
