Been a while since I caught up on this old girl Chris, and may I say she's looking great, some fantastic work involved.

HELLO Mark well when building models like this patience is the name of the game as this wont be built in a hurry as like all my other big ships they take yrs an the beauty of this is as each bit is built seperate its like building 50 odd models then when done they all come togeather to build the main model as that was the reason i fitted what ive built so far to see if its all comin on right an it is im pleased to say an the pics for the altogeather are on pages 106 through to about 110 if you like to see them
cheers for stoppin
