Chris, to attempt (and succeed) in this mammoth venture makes you deserving of the Canine Testicular Appendages in Gold (should such an accolade exist!)

boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build
- Thread starter boatman
- Start date
I had no doubts mate.
an where the water line was before i fitted on her S/S an just at the bottom of her black water line so she is very bouyant which is very good 
CHEERS GUYS
AN NOW here
she is up under full load with her S/S FITTED an boy is that heavy as it made her sit down in the water another half an inch but lookin at the real ship its about right where she is floating an i give her about 7to 8 out of 10 for stability but she may lean in a high wind up the pond as its all open an the wind can get very strong but overall im pleased with her an now only one major question hangs over her an thats will she sail ok ? an just as well i fitted the 4 steel heavy counter balance wheights
