Best put Surprise in a relatively dust free environment then Rob, I have taken on the reconstruction of Del Prado's Cutty Sark as an in between project, but I think that Victory is going to take more of my time than anticipated?? Nothing worse than half completed models gathering dust..good luck on your build mate..Surprise looks good already.  John Current Builds: Deagostini HMS Victory: Deagostini HMS Sovereign of the seas. Completed Builds: Del Prado: HMAS Bounty: Hachette: RMS Titanic: Del Prado: Cutty Sark...

HMS Surprise is Length 1334mm Height 950mm Beam 480mm. They advertise the following, but I bet it ain't, . Traditional double planking on frame wooden hullon the list of parts there is 547 this does not include all the multiple parts, like 42 stern canons you can find her on DeAgs home page. here's one of her guns  Regards

I subscribed to it about two month before they brought the Victory out, when I saw the Victory the Long suffering Wife said that I could get That as well, as my Flyingscotsman as just about finished. Got to love my Wife  So far I've done Two DeAgs Spitfires One Tiger moth one FlyingScotsman a Trainer plane and the Cutty Sark, and now I'm on the Surprise, along with the Victory, so I my put the Surprise on Hold.

 There are a lot of mentions about Surprise on this forum and every time I read an entry, I am more and more tempted to take on the build to run concurrently with Victory, I'm wondering if...she, who must be obeyed would approve, I wonder if I can get away with sneaking it in as extra Victory parts and construct it on the side..

You could always tell her that you put it together from bits left over from the Victory Then she'll be really impressed. Regards,

Nice model Tiger. Did you have trouble with the air condensing on the airframe? I'll have to get some of my part-builds out of the loft and post 'em. Mind you if I ever finish 'em they will actually FLY!
