[Christopher]

I'm afraid I'm going to have to pull out of this one - too much on my plate at the moment. Sorry about that.

Wasn't intending to take part but could do with a bit of fun - so...

I have a cunning plan...

So cunning it involves a part started Russian submarine, a number of spare WW1 biplane components and misc. scrap box parts to create an Edwardian steam battleairship of His Majesty's Ist 'Fearnought' Squadron.

Now - the sub was started years ago and is more than 25% done - but I'll be taking a razor saw to it and adding gargantuan amounts of British steel, aeronautical grade brass, copper, timber, fabric and stiff upper lip - so hoping you'll let me play

I'm trying to think of something to build but my spares box is a little spartan, I'm really enjoying watching and commenting

Takes me back to the days of playing Cthulhu by Gaslight - my character was a prototypical mad-scientist type, obsessed with hurling billiard balls at each other at high speed. He believed these collisions would generate sub-billiard particles which would revolutionise the bearing technology used in giant steam engines.

He ended up in a straight jacket, drooling and raving about the giant aardvark that inhabited the Limehouse sewers as a result of too many failed SAN rolls. Mind you even at the best of time he only had a fingernail grip on reality! Great fun!
