discussion boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[Guest]

Just take it one step at a time Chris and you'll get through it. It's not your first Rodeo after all.......there was Norfolk and Nimitz before Tiger so you're an old hand at this sort of thing. Oh and forget about your hair, once it is gone you won't have to worry about it anymore....at least that's my experience anyway. Stay the course my friend. :thumb2:

Apparently Matron does a nice line in wigs !

Just saying .

Chris, I'm really happy for your achievement.
June 11th is Jacques-Yves Cousteau birthday... may Calypso sail with you :smiling4:

Probably illegal, but what I have done with Iron Duke, is stretch bungy cords across between the headrests of the front seats, which the bow rests on, and the wife holds onto that, and with the stern resting on the backrest of the rear seats between the headrests. All the S/S fits in the rear very well.
So far it has worked with no damage.
I do wish you the very best on launch day though.

The electrics in the hull look an absolute nightmare Chris. Every time I visit this build I am more impressed with just how much time, dedication and work you've put in to get to this stage.

HI YOU two yes the wirein is a night mare an you can now see why i have been havin eletric probs but they all ok now an everything works an only 5 wires that are spare an dont carry eletric an ive been savin them as if she sails ok then i will use them 3 wires to carry eletric to about 100 white ultrabright led's for ships floodlightin for when she is on show an may be i think another 2 wires for a bilge pump if she leaks when sailing as then there will be a lot of water pressure from the hull speed in the water so hopefully got all issues covered
Chrees you two

I struggle with names, places, anniversary dates, birthdays etc, but crap like that has instant recall. Can’t work it out :flushed:

Chris. What a terrific model you have built.
Top marks on a job well done.
It's been a pleasure watching the progress. Your mega patience in sorting problems out has been second to none.

Very well done indeed.

Chris,
I agree 100% with Ron, it has been an utter joy to follow this master build. Your modelling skills and problem solving has been a joy. Very well done my friend.
