Nice progress. Hull certainly looks sturdy. Noted, onya, as in "good onya" is now an accepted scrabble word I'm told. PaulE

HI Paul ive built a bit more on that S/S now an now fittin in a electric plugs to feed the floodilghts that will be fitted to flood light the gun turret an maybe feed a mini servo to turn the turret but im not sure how all this will work yet its for the future an I THINK I may just have enough electric plugs to last me out on the build

HI John yea when I build I like to build my models strong but as light as possible as they have got to stand up to the rigors of bein carted about in the car an all these bloomin road humps can cause damage to the model but so far ive been lucky an no damage an the model has to sustain any knocks or bangs when some other model hits her on the pond when sailing as it happens quite often if their is a skipper who cant handle his model very well. As when I was sailin my big USS NIMITZ aircraft carrier i ran over up to 5 yacht's an rammed one submarine in her time on the pond as the persons kept tryin to sail nr her to get in people photo's an I kept tellin them I cant stop Nimitz on a sixpence as she weight's to much it took nr 20ft to stop her so anyone in the way well
chris ps an thank you john for stopping an havin a look at the build cheers
