HI Paul windscreen wipers were not fun to make little buggers as they kept breaking so must have made about 50 odd to get enough to fit to all bridge windows an yes im looking forward to building the gun turrets but its gonna be hard as on these gun turrets there are so many angles esp the big 6inch gun turret an that will take a fair time to make as i will have to draw out some drawings of all angles so i dont have to keep referring to the plans all the while as they are so big but the work goes on till the nxt update but today im fitting on the navigation lights leds an they are 3mm leds two on each side an they will be very bright so they can be seen in daylightFabulous work Chris. Those windscreen wipers look like fun!
Tiger really is looking the biz now. Looking forward to seeing the gun turrets.
Paul
cheers for lookin in Paul

an i then jumped to fit on the nav lights an yes they are very bright as they need to be seen in daylight on the pond an im not that keen on where they are fitted but thats where they were on the real ship but should look better when i put on the S/S
