Amazing.
HI Rick m8 oh yes she will as you say someday but its a complex build boyo an not easy to work on her at times as my back sometimes gives out when im stoopin in her hull so got to rest a while as gettin old im afraid but she will make it in our lifetime (hopefully lol ) but still a lot to build an fit on her for eg.GIT 'ER DONE!..........be nice to see this on the "Pond" someday
1all the rear safty flightdeck netting an they are quite big
2all over 400 maybe 500 odd railings
3 a unit that im now building that fits to her stern with blue formation lights in
4 2 SCOTT DOMES FOR SAT COMS
5 BOTH gun turrets an ive got the sail whinch servo to turn the turrets but still waiting for a 1/16 th tank turret gear ring an ive got to hope the gears will mesh with the big gears ive already got to make up a gearbox to turn both turrets from one sail winch servo so very complicated an fit in a servo morph an its only been in build 3 yrs so im allowed another 2 maybe 3yrs as thats my normal build time on these big ships lol
6 got to fit the aming sysmteming for the guns
7 fit seacat missle launches on both sides
8 wirein an fit the ships crane you seem so fond of lol
9 make upan build 5 or more motor launches to fit on the deck between the twin funnels
10 make an fit all the fairleads an bolloards on the decks
11 make up the front breake water
12 MAKE up about 60 to 100 odd crew figures an paint them in their uniforms
AN AT the moment cant think of anything eles but i bet there is so boyo it just wont get built as fast as you want it to i only wish it did lol

an today ive had to go back to the chopper as ive had an idea like i had on my merlin chopper an that was that i wanted it to work just the lights an motors by a two way r/c switches one way it will just turn on just the lights an hit the T/X switch an it will then make the choppers motors an lights go but i could not find a non return eletric diode as i had some somewhere for yrs but i could not find them to do this idea so i the end i contacted a boaty m8 an asked him if an he sent me some so i have fitted it in an it does the job just dandy
