thanks for the kind comments lads, its looking as though I will be making another emblem, seems like a lot of work wasted but thats life, anyhow if I do make new emblem the original oversized one will be up for grabs, if and when I've finished the new one anyone interested can go in the hat and the winner will have it posted to them free, no names yet please, when the time comes I will let everyone know.

I hope that helps you Kind regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

hi mike, i always check your diary and think the enhancments are great and look fantastic on the finished ones i`ve seen. and at 11mm they do look ok, but having checked again and again i get them at around 8mm for a 1/72 model, all my research of the real ship shows them at around that size but all my research on other models shows them bigger, for instance the 1/72 jokita shows them at around 12mm and has the top ones smaller than the bottom ones, the plastic 1/100 heller has them at 8mm and has the top ones smaller than the bottom ones, think i`ll have to physically go to portmouth all measure them, ok cheers mike
