Trouble is that realistic comes with a hefty price tag ;)
YES guys to exspensive for me im afraid but to John many thanks for finding them up but my unit is goin to be free so the gent says as all the parts are from his spares box so will wait an see but if no luck by oct then i will press on without it an just have the gun flash which is better than nothing
Should have said
"Purchased realistic"
As Chris is showing, scratch built realistic just takes time and dedication!
YES thank you Gerry yes it is time an lots of it an yes lots of dedication as yes if i want to finish this model to sail her then ive got to stick at it an at the moment im very pleased at how the model is comin an with all you guys comments they are keepin up my mojo to keep goin thank you all guys an when she is finished im hopein to hold the stern up on my shoulder if i can an get a togeather photo of me an the ship but just got to hope the ship an i will get in the photo frame lol

They sometimes take a while to be relaxed with you Chris. The way forward is not to show any fear :tongue-out3: As to the name, cats have three you know…….the name they are given, the name they acquire, and the name given to them by their mother and known only to themselves.
Oh, and we’ve got a chicken named Bessie Bunter, for exactly the same reason. Her best mate is called Big Bertha :smiling5:
