Only kidding, you and your boats, lucky man! Enjoy!

I've just had a look at the kit - and the price!


Jeez Ken, she must love you.....You're one luck boy. Nice one.


Mind you, I think the money might have been better spent getting you a new pair of trousers or two!

Got her a links bracelet some ornaments for it (whatever you call them) a pair of ugg boots a cliff Richard cd and her favourite tipple a bottle of drambuie.

I really look forward to watching this build as it takes great skills to bring this this ship to life. Please as many pictures as you can. Good luck and an early Merry Xmas.

Have you got a purchaser for this already? This is gonna be some awesome build. I saw a couple of them on Wikipedia and the gold plating is gonna be testing? You are one lucky man Ken


Kind regards

I've already ordered a new book of gold leaf for it, I have to keep my enthusiasm under control till after Christmas.
