starboard side view of details on bridge S/S AN I PUT a lot around the front part of the small s/s where the small 3 inch gun turret is but to see the detail you will have to zoom in on it

Well done Chris
Well done Chris
So what’s next then Chris? Finishing her is going to leave a big hole in your life that will need filling.
MANY THANKS Bob for your nice comments on her an yes this is launch year but just got to hope we are both in good health at the time an for good wheather an hope my m8 paul has finished his house deco as he has a lot to do an ineed him to help me get tiger in the car an oh blow i forgot ive yet to make the carry cradles allways something as they will take a fair while to make oh damm
chrisb
YES it will tim but my mate paul was thinkin of building her with the chopper flight deck on before he met me last year so he is now doin just the gun cruiser to be different but to help him build his ship he bought the tiger like mine in 1/700 scale so as he is not now building my vershion he has given me the kit so i may go from one end of the scale to the other an do a dio build with the small tiger all at sea so if i do that then i'll be askin you guys how i go about makin the seascape as it a water line kit
chrisb ps i was thinking of doinin hms clyde in 1/48th scale but with my age an health i'll have good think on it cheers Tim atb

Hi Chris
What can I say?… Wow!!! Tiger looks terrific, an absolutely outstanding achievement. I cannot adequately convey in this post all the admiration I have for this build, your dedication and skill has been on a truly epic scale.
I can hardly wait to see her afloat. With all the electronics working it certainly will be a spectacular sight for anyone watching. I look forward to seeing a video after her inaugural launch :thumb2:
Bravo sir!!!
All the very best
Paul

Well Chris, what can I say that hasn't already been said. This epic build is truly amazing. You must be very proud of it. Like many others I can't wait to see her on the water.
Chris
That really is quite simply outstanding. I think Paul @tr1ckey66 has summed it perfectly. This - with the greatest respect to all the GREAT modellers on here - really is something exceptional.
Very, very well done indeed.
Also, sorry to hear that you've not been well, it's been hard to keep up as much as I would like, what with my studies!
All the best.

Looks fantastic Chris
So pleased that you are on the mend Chris, Tiger is looking amazing, very well done.

Well what can I add to the praise it's all ready had Chris !
Think one thing that is noteworthy is Jen, she has been great through all of the build, even when she was ill from her fall .
Don't think many wives would be as accomodating as her with having the house and garage taken over .
The build it looking good , bring on the figures please .
Glad you are feeling better .

ATB TO you an christine have a nice week end
chrisb an jen
All the hard work is paying off Chris, she looks a beaut. After all the make up you're adding the trinkets and accessories like the crew.
Forgive me if I ask this, perhaps it's the angle of the shot but her keel is looking shallow making her looking top heavy. I'm not worried of how deep she will sit but more like capsizing on a sharp turn. Have you looked into that. I'm guessing you've addressed that with the ballast. Just concerned.
Looking forward to the launch and shake down.
Cheers,
Wabble
