Was it your Bank Balance you're having problems with? Seriously though, I hope you're feeling better. Just caught up with this fantastic thread as it was mostly done when we were 'sans broadband'. Love the paintwork.

My bank balance has recovered, I sold all of the 8th Army Stuff and Africa, for a really good profit.
Wargamers seem prepared to buy built models.

Onto a Third rate ship, HMS Revenge - 74 guns.
Extra white metal parts supplied, the rear and the figurehead.

Detail is excellent on such a small scale.

Hi Zak,
well nobody can say your not diverse in your modelling.
I liked the 'Victory' very much, and in some way a tribute to you recovering from your recent illness.
Keep them coming, there is something reminiscence of younger days modelling with them.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

I see you've been busy Dave. Some fantastic models.
I've been on the Victory. There's a plaque on the deck that Lord Nelson tripped over and fell to his death.

I wouldn't dare use any of hers, but Boyes has a good stock and you get some in the kits.
