G/M Bri many thanks for your nice comments on tiger yes she has quite a bit of detail but its just like the real ship was an yes i loved gettin all 4 radars workin on her as it brings the ship to life an a few lights an she is nearly finished exceptin to fit the crew figures an then she will be finished completley but its given me 4 yrs of enjoyment an probs an frustration but i wont have it any other way just got to take her then for her launch an sea trails to see how she behaves on her maiden voyage an i will be a bundle of nerves an hopefully gerry is gonna vid her to put on utube so all really that the major worry is gettin her to the pond without breakin her so i'll have to take c/a an anything that i might need to repair her at the pond what a day that will be dreadin it in some ways but excited in others anyway cheers Bri for lookin in on her just as well you wont have all these worriyies on your yamato but its lookin good

Absolutely amazing. The rigging is looking fine. The closer she gets to launch day the more excited you must get.

Chris , Matron has the coach ready , the Committee are bringing their wives along as well . Due to the age of the coach several days notice are required for starting . Please contact Matron herself 3 days before your intended launch.
Here is Matron herself supervising the seating .

JR, I have a couple of these little jitney buses in the stash...I think it was the Polizie that appropriated them during the war. I might have to dig 'em out and put 'em together. Nice Pic.!! :thumb2:

Wow, all aboard the charabang……….I think the bullet holes in the engine firewall give me pause for thought though…..
HI Jim yes the riggin has turned out fine thanks an done some more today an im now fittin the riggin wire down the the front fore mast to fit on the signal flags an dont as what they are as they are a mix of what a freind gave me as they are exspensive to buy so im gonna use them to cut costs as not many people would know what they stand for anyway but on my norfolk i got them right as i bought them then as they were cheaper but now well but the flags mean the ships name an call sign an as i said they will be fitted tommorow an excited yes in some ways i am but in other im worried at gettin her to the pond whole an not break her as its gonna be a rough ole ride to sheringham an thats 20 miles away so im just hopein for the best

HI John an Matron yes will try to but cant gaurenttee when the day will be due to the wheather circamstances so wouldnd they be better off with a couple of hores also at the front for more speed ? lol :rolling:
:tongue-out3::smiling5::smiling5::smiling5:chrisb
I'm still loving this build Chris; it's looking superb! What are you going to start once Tiger goes into the attic? Perhaps a half-scale coracle to remind Matron of her happy, childhood days boating on the Fens?
