Hi Chris
Everytime I look in on this I just get more and more impressed. What you are doing is way beyond my abilities but I certainly appreciate the skill and patience that goes into this build.

These builds truly are a labour of love. You can tell that you really enjoy yourself whilst making them.
Tiger will look simply stunning with all the lights, moving rotors, radar and all the other gizmos, not to mention that this model will actually sail!
Keep on trucking Chris - this build is immense.
Cheers
