HI Paulie yes if its the sound of woopin an that if I can get one as a gent has got me one on order from the USA but he says he has not heard anything so he's says he's gonna chase them up but if I cant get one then I have made it so the whooper sound unit in Norfolk can just un plug an lift out so I can put it in tiger an swop them back an fourth as I cant sail two ships at the same time

HI Steve yes she is gonna be a fair size just under 8ft long so the hull sections are nr 4ft each so it will go in my car to take her sailin on the pond an I love building big ship as there is plenty of space to fit an make things work so a workin model an the public loves the models when they are sailin it makes it all worthwhile
thanks for havin a look on here

Hi Chris, here are the measurements of my ship build length is 187 metres, 7 metres out beam 26 metres draught 6.5 metres,she would sit well in the water, I say be pretty long in your ships scale, 72nd is very close to 87 scale.

Tony can't wait to see here in the water be an awesome site,may be I should of gone that way to .

HI Tony well to me your ship is a biggun as like my tiger is. But im getting a bit mixed up where your ship is concerned now the one you are building at the moment is a water line vershion to fit on your lawn to fit to you model railway isn't it ?. An you also talk of sayin maybe you should have gone my way so i take it that either you wished you had built a proper water borne vershion instead of the waterline vershion ? or you are goin to build a water borne vershion later to work from R/C ? NOW am I correct on this ?

Hi Chris, yes my ship is a water line model the reason for that is with the draught she would not fitted in underneath the bridge only being 19 inches water line clearance but since I am razing the height to 2 foot could of being enough , never mind, I figured I build the hull out of cardboard being a learning curve can fix up the mistakes when I finely build the RC version, sorry to confuse you.

Yes again the ship sit at the dock or sit going in underneath the bridge, grass be the water, some ports the water is green I have seen why I do not know, you might .

This will shock you if I was going to go 1/72 scale my build be slightly longer than your Tiger , 8 and a half feet wow she would of being monster indeed and probably had to us 00 scale containers and trailers being a bigger scale that HO scale.

I started watching Star Gate SG-1 again tonight season one disc 3 two episodes.

Busy Sunday in the yard duties, no work on the bridge will tomorrow if I have time to after going to Bunning need to insect spray, big trouble with insects in the grass .

Take care Tony
