[boatman]

Chris the whole build is great, but the wiring really is something else. You must a have wiring diagram to check this as you go ?

HI John no no wirein diagram plus id spend more time drawin it all out than building its all in me head an I use a circuit tester to make sure it all works slow but sure way of doin it yes there will be problems when its all wired up but even the real ships have problems so im bein realistic lol an thanks for lookin in

Hi Chris
Thought I’d drop by and catch up on this epic build :tongue-out:
Seems construction is going ahead at full steam. The superstructure really is starting to take shape now and I love the working doors.
Fabulous stuff!
Keep safe, keep modelling and updating us all on this cracking build
Cheers
