Thanks Allen. My plan from the start was to try and get it finished in time for tomorrow. (June 6th) I managed it, Just!

I've been waiting for a nice sky to be able to take the final photos of 'Big E'
Yesterday was such a day.....

Thanks to Karl for suggesting and running this G.B. and a big thanks to those who took the time to post encouraging comments throughout the build.

Here's far too many to finish off this build thread. I'll post some more over in 'Group Builds' asap.















































Cheers chaps and thanks for having a blimp....

Bloody Marvelous Sir!

 

[spanner570]

Wow, thanks chaps!
Me happy bunny.

Yesterday here, was a great day for photies.

I was stood there twiddling the thing around in a nice blue sky, when out of nowhere came this big black mass of cloud. What a chance opportunity!
Results of this bit of good luck (Mostly in B/W) over in 'Finished G.B.'s.

Thanks again for your positive comments.

Great model and great pictures too.

I just want to know which escort ship you were on when you took these photos of the real ship! I thought we'd cured you of these ridiculous attempts to fool us by trying to pass off the real thing as a kit!

The magic spell-
take one very modest man. Add a few bits of plastic (or cardboard), some polyfiller, bit of paint, some transparent silicon. Mix well and kazam!

Once again you have proved that you are the master of all things watery,

Bringing her into the wind for launch, brilliant.
