Getting quite into this ship modelling..... Very theraputic and time consumming... .. Its like a bug, once you get into it the more the bug bites... .. Then you have the problem of where do you display all these great kits you end up building.... Happy to hear you're enjoying the journey.... Regards Alan

Exactly Alan where do you display these big ships! HMS Victory will be in the back bedroom on one wall... The facing wall im comtemplating making into the building area..... Work bench as there are 4 double plugs on that wall and it also gets the natural daylight aswell.... But one thing this hobby enables you to gain access to skills that you did not you even had or you learn them but its a big learning curve...... Anyway the hand drill n bits game today.....progress Building.
