HI Andy :thinking: yes i think you would be right as these big cruisers would have a smaller ship with it in a battle group something like a type 12 leander class so yes i suppoce they would hold the chopper on the crane till a smaller an lower flight deck comes an then winch it on there for the chopper to be inspected an such well i never thought of that well i am gettin old im afraid an the ole brain ai'nt what it use to be lol :rolling: :smiling5: you Andy are certainly on the ball an cheers for your nice comments on the crane a lot of work there but it was worth it

Chris, your work is really fantastic and I have been following this from the beginning. I'm so sorry I haven't commented more, but your work Sir, is way over my head. Light years in fact. Your attention to detail, your knowledge about the electronics, wiring, wood working and just plain building this thing is phenomenal. I sit back, look in and have to keep picking my jaw up from the floor over your build. You are truly dedicated to getting this thing in the water, no matter what life throws at you. Respect Sir!!!.....
I do hope Jen is recovering well and not getting on your nerves or you on hers. BTW, I think it's teatime buddy, so get crackin' with the kettle...........
Prost

There you go Chris.........when this one's done you'll just have to start another build to keep your purpose in life. Or you and Jen will have to spend all your time sailing Tiger on the pond so you don't get bored. By the way, I was looking at the pics of the crane on the Blake and it appears that the crane operator is seated.....were you planning on installing an operators seat or am I mistaken? Just curious, not being nit picky. :thumb2:Comment

Gerry don't encourage Chris to use knicker elastic , he got into enough trouble when he made off with Jen's fishnets !Just caught up again - fantastic work, and I'm sure that the committee will come up with a fantastical award, as I'm in agreement with Neil on the lions dangling bits award!
The possible solution to the guns not dropping wouldn't involve knicker elastic would it?
:smiling2: as soon as I read about the problem I thought a very light spring might do it?Comment

That crane Chris would make a kit on its own ! You certainly have many skills mate , reading that some parts of the crane are brass must mean solder . A black art units self , so well done .
Matron sends her regards, the last time anyone saw her she was changing some spark plugs on the bike . There was enough bad language coming from the shed to match any of the crew on your ship .
Can you here Jen coming as she walks about ?Comment

AN HI Rick hope you are well m8 an yes ive been thinkin of the next ship if im stll in reasonable health an it would be HMS CLYDE in 1/48 th scale as i can buy the hull from fleetscale i think as yes ive near got all the bits i need as two kindly gents gave me two cambelt drives , an two motors , an two ESC ,an i have also got two prop sharfts an two 5 bladed props so near got all the important things already an my 14 channel T/X will run up to 10 models so all i really need is the hull an a big twin rudders so i will see how i feel when ive finished tiger an regards the crane driver sittin i dint notice it but if he is sittin then i will add a chair as we cant have the poor blokes legs acke can we lol
ATB to you Rick

WELL Rick i just ZOOMED in on that pic an regards the crane operater it looks like there are two crew members in that postion an to me it looks like they are standin but i may be wrong on that an you right but if you are i can easliy fit a a seat in place as there will be a crew member in that postion when i fit over a hundred figuers on the ship as they will be officers an crew members all goin about their dutyies
ATB Rick an cheers for bringin that question up as the photo is a bit blurry an i never noticed so you must have some good peppers to notice that well done
