COR SHE LOOKS THE DOGS Garry very nice indeed an your railins look good esp round the flight deck an are you not goin to fit some sailors on her to bring her to life ? brilliant modeling

Thank you for your kind comments Chris. If I am able to modify some of the figures that I received from GerryW I may well add them to ID, but to be honest it will be a bit of a stretch.

HI again Garry i mean do the figures when you feel better from you op as i found doin figures very easy just get small flat file an file the figures head flat so it looks like a sailors hat an paint white an same for the officers then get a bit of double sided sticky tape an press said figure down onto it so the figures are held in place an just paint trousers black an the coats in a dark blue or all white if you want summer gear an you dont need to do many say about 6 or so some on the bridge an a couple around the chopper but up to you SIR but you will find it will bring her to life as after all the massive work you have done to build her i think she desevre a few but as i said up to you

Dang Noah Garry, that is looking so fine Sir! Nice to see your progress and that you are doing well after your OP. Spring is coming your way and I'm pretty sure you will want to take her out for a spin on the lake. I hope you are healing up well and taking it easy too...

Prost

Waiting to see her "white mustaches" under her "nose" while speeding in the water ...not very Navy Style dictionary isn't it?
Wonderful model, Garry.

Thank you Allen, yes spring has sprung, so in due course she will have another spin on the lake.

Wonderful model, Garry.

Thanks Andrea, I'll be sure to post new pics of her on the water, there were some further back in this thread, and I also popped a couple of her on the thread of complete ships.
