Mmmm, are you sure there are the correct number of treads on those ladders! Only joking, top notch job mate, developing beautifully!

I can't even remember where I put the cupboard sometimes....Chris there is nothing worse than putting something " safe " and then not remembering where you put it. The only thing that I do is write on the front of the box what's in it and put it where I can see it. The last place is to put it out of sight in a cuboard, you will only find that weeks later when you have bought it again .
Ask me how I know ? I now have two sheets of Pewter and two sets of liners for a wet palette !

Yes i aggree Steve IN SOME WAYS BUT NOT IN OTHER WAYS but the navy wanted it to do the job of carrying 4 seakings which other crusiers could not do as they had at the time plenty of other ships with guns on but no seaking helo's for A.S.W An some of the boaty guys up NORWICH POND dont like to see the hangar an said it was better with the gun turret on the back but i must admit thats why i chose to build this vershion of tiger as its different an unusual an this vershion in 1/72 maybe the only one in the country as ive seen several 1/96 SCALE vershion but not a 1/72 an it gives more modeling scope to have the hangers all open an with lights an 4 seaking choppers on board

Greatly admire your work Chris, building from plans would fry my tiny single brain cell. Dragon plans are enough for me lol
The level of assorted skills on show is superb Chris, not just scratching, painting, electrics and electronics, amazing!!Comment
