Chris, you're doing a heck of a job with this, and the ways that you're overcoming the challenges and small setbacks, is nothing less than amazing! Beautiful work on that turret.
 
Great stuff Chris. Turret is looking the dogs from here…….
Hope Jen is still improving as well, and give that fur ball a chuckle under the chin from me :thumb2:

HI Tim yes im pleased at how the turret has turned out after two months at it as like this small turret the angles make it so hard to get a start on build it an lastest news on jen we phoned hospital an found somehow she has been missed an no letter sent to her for plaster removeable as she is now in her 7th week so tomorrow she got an app at hos at 10.25 to have hopefully an xray on her ankle an hopefully plaster removed but we will see tomorrow an regards the fur ball lilley no way will i tickle her under her chin just treid to coach her an she maulded my hand i think she has got some of MATRON in her very nasty an instead of needles she got her long claws GAWRD sherwth like tacklin a lion
but she wil calm down when she want her nosh lol

Hi Chris
Superb work on the 6” gun turret, it looks terrific! Your scratch building skills continue to astonish. It will be an awesome sight to see Tiger open up with a broadside!!!

I hope Jen is feeling better and the plaster comes off soon.

All the best mate

Great work Chris, you must have the patience of a saint, and I thought tracks were a hard job but they are nothing compared to the work you are putting in on this ship.

Evening Chris Tea Maker to the Many.
What glues are you using on that turret ?

Sorry to read about the cancellation, poor Jen must be fed up with it all .
