More superb work Chris, it's the little details that really bring the thing to life. You're another one with the patience of a saint. Have to agree with Scottie though perhaps Matron can help :hungry:

AN HI Gerry how did you guess about ladyies nicker elastic ? was it when i said about ladyies ? as yes thats what im waitin on as it should stretch just nice but not to strong that the micro servo wont pull up an elevate the guns so see how i get on with it when it comes or as you say a light spring out of a pen may do it will see how it all goes an thank you sayin i desever the lions dangle bits lol ;) :rolling::smiling:
ATB to you Sir

Knicker elastic is never strong given the correct incentives ...

Hi chris

its been a little while since I checked in and all I can say is; wow! She is certainly coming together.

One question about the colour of deck which you may be able to help me with: what do you think the deck flooring would have been in the ward room of HMS Bulldog in 1945? I ask becasue for many years I have toyed with the idea of a boxed diorama depicting the signing of the German surrender aboard HMS Bulldog in 1945.

Almost certainly Teak or Oak mate - the Andrew loved it and used it wherever possible !

WELL Steve without the correct incentives .lol i dont want it too strong due the micro servo may not be strong enough to elevate the guns so it gonna be a lot of trail an error im afraid
