Yeah he'll be fine.....
Finished the foreward superstructure last night, the individual deck levels will go to the paint shop on the weekend as will the rest of her. Realistically she's not far from being finished, just a few machine gun placements to do......rating to date 9/10.........Phil

You're going 'great guns' on that one Phil, and it's got a big 9/10 rating from you, so it must be pretty good.....Dave.

All secondary guns were completed last night, they were dry fitted, relatively easy I would have thought, but they proved to be easily damaged when being positioned, but it worked out, a few minor repairs and all are fine.....rating still 9/10........Phil

As you say Phil, "it worked out" doesn't matter what tricks or shortcuts you take, that wee lot of words strung together is our aim...or is it these short explicets...."*******" right you'll fit ya wee "*******!!!!"..........Dave

I seem to think I've used an expression or two like that, on more than one occasion.
Didn't do much last night, it was more decision time, the provided catapults are a little chunky...so I'll replace them with some brass ones, they'll look much better.......rating 8/10.......Phil

Yeah it is rather chunky for my liking, bought a WWII Heavy Cruiser PE set from Toms Modelworks in the US for $14 it should do the trick....Phil
