Cheers Joe not long until finish now, I've built most of the PE now so it's just stick it on and paint then make the base for it

 

[Graham D]

Looks really good, when its finished, could you give me its dimensions, as I'd like to get a case for mine before I complete it.

Thanks

Sure graham I'll do that oh and while we are on lye subject I have found the rigging for this well it's for the Queen Elizabeth but I would imagine it would be the same setup seeing as they were the the same class of vessel

Great work Alan, that Walrus looks superb with the PE parts, should look even better when painted. I must admit I admire anyone for giving this level of PE build a go, way too fiddly and awkward for me.

Cheers Si , it's not that easy for me what with sausages for fingers lol

I have to use tweezers and Blu-tack and it can take ages to complete a small piece

Thanks Alan, where did you find the rigging diagram?

On trumpeters new HMS Queen Elizabeth kits instructions looks like a pretty easy set up as well
