got my 3d stuff this morning from Poland, the more I think about it the more I'm thinking of getting one especially now as I have finished fishing due to my arthritic back and hips so will have plenty of time.

Looking good :thumb2: 3d printer does sound good but my greatest technological achievement was sussing out i could make a call on a rotary dial phone that had one of them locks on it by tapping out the number on the little button under the receiver lol

Everything is so small for a 1/48, the engine room will take quite a while lots of delicate stuff

Liking it a lot. Lots of valve wheels appearing. Hope you're managing to contain yourself. All that 'clanky' stuff!!!

Well, what can I say that has not been said earlier... You are turning a kit into a museum exhibit of the first order and it is a credit to your patience and skills. Looking forward to more.
Mike.
