oh Lol, do you think you can be good i dont, :P :D

looks nice and so meny meany little bits,

cannot wait to see what you do with this one :rolleyes:
 
That looks a like a very nice kit Ken.

In that scale I think it would be better with a full hull so anyone could turn it into an RC build
 
That is the old Matchbox kit, I had it once when I went through a 'boat' stage way back in the late 70's early 80's. It really is a nice impressive kit but the detail needs some work, the main gun is rather crude for instance. I will keep an eye on this, I am sure you will do a much better job than I did way back then....
 
I bet you will have this finished and in the water before I have finished mine and she's a static!

I have just ordered the standard version of the same kit so i will be watching this build closely. The photo etch in this scale will be a dream to work with rather than the 1:350 scale that i am working with at the moment.

I am going to be plastic welding the hull together then using epoxy filler to eliminate any gaps and use the filler to hold the stuffing tube in place.
 
well ken it needs a deck before it hits the water or it will sink Ha! Ha! :D :p:). But very nicely done. by the way on Ebay they got the clipper off the Cutty Sark at 1/75 scale for £329.99 the size that dad built in penge before I was born, well I'm hoping to get that one next to do when I can save some money up for it. which works out to be 3ft in length ruffly give or take a few inches.

I've just got this kit so I will be watching this build for tips.

Hi all I'd completely forgotten this (had it ferrited away in the spare room ) must start it again sometime, thanks for reminding me.
 
Missed this, nice flower class Ken, glad to see you RC. I had one a long time ago...it sank.
