Flipping hell Chris, great fast progress !!!
HI Bob yea im buzzin along with the build as got to get stuck in now as ive only got less than 3wks to go before we have a warship day up Norwich pond an normally there is a lot of big R/C models up Norwich pond to take my Norfolk up for a sail with them all an then in another couple of wks or so two more model days up their .But the reason for
the time limit is that I need my show table to put Norfolk on but at the moment its got the tiger build fitted to it .But if I can get tiger's hull built then it can come off the table for Norfolk to rest on for warship day An I don't want to have to buy another table as their is no way I can transport both ships to a show so only one table needed how's that
