Chris, that truly is an amazing build mate, definitely one to be proud of!
You should share that to the HMS Tiger Facebook page, the old salts there would be mighty impressed!

 

[Jim R]

Probably the best build I've ever seen. Pure skill and dedication and sheer determination to see it though. Can't wait to see it on the water.

HI Dave well ive got my eye on HMS CLYDE IN 1/48TH SCALE but it all depends on how much the F/G hull costs as i want to be able to cut down a lot of hull buildin an get straight on the details side of the build an hope i can finish it before i snuff it lol
