    SOVIET T12 1/35 by Hobby Boss

    Same here. We'd better keep an eye on him in case he sets light to it. :p Pete

    What to do with completed models?

    I always included in the description a statement that I would pack carefully but can't be responsible for damage during shipping. I never had a complaint although did get some feedback that minor damage had occurred (aerials, pitots, and similar). Pete

    What to do with completed models?

    I've never made much money, but if got the price of the kit back plus a little towards paint etc Ebay isn't too much hassle, and if you've posted a 'Finished' thread you already have the photos. The main problem with packing is stopping the model moving around inside the box. Pete

    Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

    I found my book; "Nelson's Victory". Mostly history of the ship and her crew - an interesting read but no details of the materials. There are several contemporary paintings of Victory that show a similar grey area above the stern gallery windows. I think it must be lead or painted canvas, but...

    Brian's Caldercraft 1/72 HMS Victory

    About 10 - 12 years ago I bought a book about the history of HMS Victory that went into great detail about the various changes that have been made to her, and the various colours she's been painted.
