discussion boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

Just to let you know well in advance there is under very rare occasions Chris a triple Dogs award !!!!.
The committee were over heard in discussion only the other day .

What interests me is what are you going to do when this great build is completed ?

Of course there is tea blending to consider along with the master tea makers certificate.

Beautiful work indeed .
