Looking really good Ralph. Does the crane have wires and hooks or will you have to add them??

Cheers Steve:smiling3:.
I am struggling to find any pics of the crane.

Quite often the pe is a challenge my wife says I am always swearing and cursing while working with the pe.The thing is though I absolutely love working with it.

My word you are as it says at the bottom of your page--------" I'm mentally ill " :smiling3:
That pe flight of stairs on the side of the crane tower is crazy, how on earth did you cope with forming it ?
Some fine detailed modelling keep it up .:thumb2:

I tell my wife the language teases the parts to do what they are meant to, and really want to, they just need to be convinced again. PaulE

Fantastic PE work Ralph. I realised I left off the stairs on mine..presumed Scotty was at the controls to beam anyone up. :tongue-out3:

Exactly, my wife agrees as her plants surprisingly perk up when she tells them...if I don't see any improvement, you're so dead... :tears-of-joy:

Cheers,

Some basic colours painted and glossed reay for the first stage of weathering.

Hi Ralph
Excellent work. Dockland dios are one of the few opportunities to include a lot of ships close together. I once saw a dio of the Hood and the Bismark together. Both ships were really nice models but the whole thing was spoilt by them being only 100 scale yards apart.
