Hi Alan, Derek, Mark and Carl. Many thanks for your kind words of congratulations... But can anyone tell me what the yellow medal is for? Have I unwittingly reached/passed a milestone or something?...  Regards JohnP

John Top job - looks brilliant. Personal view but i would not glue stand to model as you can bet at some point you will wish you had not. Many line the stand with felt so it does not damage paint on lower hull. So what are you going to do next? Will it be another ship model? Tony Happy Modelling
BUILDING: Hachette Spitfire Mk 1A, Constructo Mayflower
SUBSCRIPTION COMPLETE (Awaiting building): USS Constitution, Sovereign of the Seas, 1:200 Bismarck (Hachette)
COMPLETED: Porsche 911, E-Type Jaguar, Lam Countach

Hi JohnP, These kits need some serious dedication and skill to complete, so you deserve every accolade they get. On that point, congrats on your "Red" medal for a completed build. I hope you have another project in mind or are thinking about one, as I for one will be following your progress. Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Well done John - a beautiful model in every way and a credit to you! I would also say don't glue to the stand - I think the most elegant stands for wooden ships are the brass pedestal type which screw or bolt into the keel. The wooden 'cradle' type I think should always be just a free standing support, as Tony said, once its glued you're stuck with it (sorry! ) Brilliant work! Robin. First wooden ship: The Grimsby 12 Gun 'Frigate' by Constructo Second: Bounty DelPrado Part Works Third: HMS Victory DelPrado Part Works 1/100 scale Diorama of the Battle of the Brandywine from the American Revolutionary War Diorama of the Battle of New Falkland (unfinished sci-fi), Great War Centenary Diorama of the Messines Ridge Assault Index for the Victory diary is on page 1

Tony Hi Tony Thanks for the nice compliment and words of advice re the display stand - which I shall follow... No I shall not be doing any more modelling, I would like to have done Victory but don't have time now... I see you are in Wiltshire - I had close family in Beanacre and visited many times over the years - lovely part of the world.... Best regards JohnP

Regards delboy271155 (Derek) Hi Derek Yes it was a lot more difficult than I initially envisaged - there was a lot of trial and error, with two steps forward and one step back as I had to work out how to do certain functions all the time.... I often found instructions in much later issues long after I'd spent time working on an item!!!  Sorry - I won't be doing any more projects... Regards JohnP
