Does he not want another one for spares Phil and a Bounty...cheap!!.....Dave

Hello me hearties......

I'm back in the Endeavour business, the young bloke I sold her too, returned her, citing, after reading everything in the kit, he didn't have the tools, the patience or skill level to do her justice and since he had only built plastic models, he though it best to stay with them.

He also felt that in trying to build her, he would always be asking me for advice.......so I bought it back at the cost of some cash and a few plastic kits I didn't want, he has gone off happy again........and I have a new/old ship to build.......Phil

[berth44]

Well 'e' wont need mine then Phil, Harr.......Dave

Welcome back Phil, Hello Dave.

[shipaholic]

Welcome back Phil, just build it, I think it will turn out to be a good looking ship. Really happy with mine at the moment with just a few deviations from the instructions its a good build

[berth44]

Hello Tony, unfortunately you wont see me back, mine is gathering dust at the moment, but I'm still around in the 'other builds' and trains..I'm just getting back into my Arizona model but my wife is not 'model friendly!!'.Dave

[bluedot0]

Hi guys......yes I'll finish her......and the others, I have the Bismarck, San Francisco, Le Hussard and the MV Seachange....a scratchbuilt project of a container ship that I'm building from a scale plan.....all these are in various stages of construction.

Just getting a spot for the timber models organized, where I can leave them and not have to "tidy up" after each session and yes, I'm itching to get back into it.........Phil

G'day Dave, good to hear you are still into the Arizona. Dont let the missus beat you down on your modelling ... It's a long slippery slope....... Never give up- never surrender. I'm thinking of doing a U-boot next. I would like to have half open and half closed . Plenty of room for scratch building there.... maybe some Led's- LOL (Anthony -you created a led monster.)

Hey Phil, good to hear you are getting into it, sounds like you have lots of projects to keep you going there. I wouldnt mind the Bismark myself . I have to finish the New Jersey and the Enterprise - It already has led's. ;D. It definately helps to have somewhere to leave a mess when doing these builds... My missus will vouch for that ...... Good to have you back Phil.
Tony

Hello Tony, I have two of the Revell 1/72 U boats. I was thinking of doing a 'cut away' model myself as you can get most of the detail parts as after market products,ie, engine room detail/torpedo room,I don't think there is much you can't get!!..Good luck with the building,you are doing a great job...Dave

[bluedot0]

Completed some minor repair work on her, she suffered the damage during her travels from various transit points to my new residence, will start on her again very soon.......Phil

[lthump]

Thanks Dave, I like the sound of the aftermarket details for the U-boots. I have seen some of those and they look great.

G'day Phil , great to hear your starting on her again .... some pics of where your starting from would be good, will follow your progress avidly.

[bluedot0]
