 hi all I am new to this but I am enjoying the build and I love looking at all your progress on the model you have all helped me a lot but I have a problem my kitten keeps trying to eat my model so I need to build myself a display case to protect it I was thinking about what size to build it so the complete ship will fit in when finnished what about 1200mm long X 1000mm high and 500 wide do you think this will be right I did try to lose the cat but it keeps coming back (as does the wife lol) thank you for reading this. All the best dave

Hi, You're definitely going to need a case for the finished model, because these things are almost impossible to clean once they get dusty, which they will of course. I'm speaking from experience, you should see the sorry state of my Albatros. I'm currently having a case made for my Endeavour. The recommended dimensions are 50mm longer and wider than the finished model and 100mm higher, the finished model dims are given in issue 1, on the poster I think. The thought of a cat amongst the rigging would be worse than pigeons.

This is a very good question and ideally should be moved to the SotS general build forum rather than the build diaries forum. Wold you send Mr T a request to move it so it is more easily visible to members who don't look at the diary forum topic list...

animals at play,a shudder runs down my spine,my two cats used to have the run of the house,NOT NO MORE,they wrecked two of my ships,no only having a good chew,but knocking them of a shelf 6 foot off the ground,the ship I could live with,but having to wash the walls down afterwards,I did not like and sombo didn't like the shade of red either.so they are banned from the shipyard,and cry all day outside the door,and plead to be let loose again ,NO WAY.if you have animals please make sure you lock 'em up somewhere away from the beloved model.   Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/
