Order is restored to the Universe......................................................................................................... Rob

My thoughts too, sincere condolences Rob

Looks magnificent Rob

Museum piece!

Lovely touch Rob

Wot mark said Rob

Ouch - that's Nice 😎 Rob

Very striking - like the crisp finish Rob

That is an absolute Delight - beautifully finished and the radar dome really gives it heft! Rob

On a serious note - if you've used pastic cement then Tamiya extra thin will "dissolve" it and it's quite possible to lift it. if you've used PVA glue that should budge with gentle pressure. It'll be a compartively small job to sand down and repaint And yes - like my brethren above the reason I know all this is................................................................. Rob

Jeff - several boatyards deliberately offset the superstructure to starboard to account for increased fuel oil storage on the port side .................................. Rob

Cracking looking etch - nicely bent Young Sir Rob

Once again I feel like a mortal catching glimpses through the clouds seeing the Gods working above Such clean precise work........ Rob

I honestly have No idea what he's on about................................

Ilan - that is a Cracker - beautifuly finished and weathered Rob

Michal - sea looking great as does Hibiscus. I like your tip of diluting mdelling paste and smoothing with the finger. I presume the dilution i swith water? The foam is setting it off Rob

Keith - only just seen this - PM sent Rob

Jon - those railings with the dipping top chain or wire look excellent - who makes them please? And BTW it's nearly midday and you haven't progressed this today? Should I phone the Coastguard? Rob

Jeff's right. And I suspect that once you see the 3D printed ship's boats and weapons, there'll be No going back Rob

That cat on the mounting looks tremendous as does the searchlight Consistently high quality modelling and kudos to application for such a lengthy project Rob

Thanks Dick Definitely agree about G45 at the bow - that was a given. And again definitley G20 at the stern - Sounds like it will be B30 for the hull-side numbers Once again I'm in your debt Rob

Hi Rich I'm waiting for Simon at Micromaster to produce some HMS Valiant specific mountings whilst slowly collecting other "bits". I've set myself a monthly limit on "collecting" I'm also aiming to try to improve my "dynamic seas" before starting Valiant After Avon Vale will hopefully come HMS Euryalys (Naiad) plus there's some Fairmiles in a liitle dio awaiting. HMS Loyal sits ready with all the "bits" And there's a "Landing Barge Kitchen" at the planning stage together with the "Fighter Direction tender". If i spent as much time building as I do planning..................................... Thanks for asking Rob

Thanks Graham - they certainly do - 4 to date at this scale but that's it for now Corvette-wise Rob

Hi Jeff - I believe this is Type 240/241 IFF. The only reference i can find to this is in Lambert's Coastal Forces book. Not a lot on the web Jeff - I've had a problem with my PC this AM - it suggested 2 PMs labelled "Revell flower Class" but there's nothing in my message suite If that was you - could you resend - if not please ignore Thanks Rob

Looking absolutely swish! Rob
