The end results are brilliant and the sort of thing I love to see scratch built. So keep up the good work and look forward to seeing what else comes down the slip ways from your workshop!Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-91524724175345954972021-05-25T10:07:36.939+01:002021-05-25T10:07:36.939+01:00Hello there Bob,

I wanted to post something like this for a while - mainly to pass on ‘why I did what I did when I did it’ - and hope that inspires other gamers to have a go at building their own ships. <br /><br />Now that the man cave has been reopened (the new loft hatch mechanism and door are now working as they should) work can resume of the famous five in respect to the masts etc. These are already built and sealed and merely need painting so all should be ready in a day or so.<br /><br />Though I say so myself, they look pretty good! More importantly they have given me a whole load of new ideas!<br /><br />Watch this space....<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-83539928781322484142021-05-25T09:57:04.033+01:002021-05-25T09:57:04.033+01:00David,

Thank you old chap!
I have...Hello there Archduke,<br /><br />Thank you old chap!<br /><br />I have a number of other ship building ideas to play around with - in directions I would never have envisaged and I guess it is this project I have to thank!<br /><br />In many ways it has taken me back to my earliest wargaming days when it used to be tanks and aircraft I scratch built. What pocket money I had was used solely to purchase Airfix figures.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DC<br /><br /><br /><br />David Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-3114712041553227932021-05-24T23:22:50.316+01:002021-05-24T23:22:50.316+01:00Hi David -
