Thank you kind sir.

Glad you got the hull colour sorted. Good to get it right. Bet putting her on water for the first was quite a moment Looks very impressive with all the superstructure dry fitted.

Thank you Jim, I'm happy with the result thus far, now she is starting to look like a proper ship.

I've spent some time working on the Harpoon launcher system, which being scratch built are not exact replicas of the real thing, however they are as close as I could reasonably get them. :smiling:

No still nothing, and it's really starting to P me off, but with your postal workers striking and the cyber attacks it's not too surprising is it.

[boatman]

NO it isnt Garry i think it would be quicker for you to hire a rowin boat an row here to get your bits lol as the world has gone crazy but i think its to do with the earth core has stopped spinning an gone into reverse lol

You do know that actually happens don’t you Chris….periodically the earth’s magnetic field, generated by the nickel/iron core, reverses so South becomes North and North becomes South…..be a laugh when it happens next though, us Southern softies will become Northern softies….and Northerners will have to become Southerners….
