A - Ha Mr. Haddock,
I passed your address this afternoon, and spotted the top of yor head bent over the latest creation.
I expect an update from you soon and an indication of the sun rays on your bonce!
Nice to see you 'Plasticking'

Progress seems slow although there are lots of small sub-assy's and other stuff to deal with.
You aircraft chaps will be pleased to know there's a nice Walrus in the kit.
The rest of the pictures probably speak for themselves.
Haddock.

[Haddock]

Bit more.

[zak]

as always, excellent, painstaking work.

[MSea]

                            Somethings are sent to try us.
                        Thought it was time to check the fit of the cranes, now I've made a hinge.
            As you can see, they don't fit, they should drop onto the crutch, obviously they don't.
If you look at the 2nd pic you can see why, the brass jibs aren't the same as the plastic ones, by a considerable amount.
            You can buy the etched brass in two lots, the first is "railings and cranes", the second is "other stuff"
such as radar, lots of surface detail, most of it not needed and other bits and bobs.
           The first lot is a stand alone set, so if you don't want to go to town, it will be fine. However, the little brass bracket come with the second lot so you can fall into the trap as I have just done.
            I find this annoying, these things aren't cheap. I think we have a right to expect some sort of quality control.
           Good job it's only a hobby.

Now it fits. A good razor-saw is worth it's weight in gold.
Haddock.
Rant over.

[zak]

The joys of modelling, as usual.
Great recovery work though.
