Martian I know exactly what you mean there Martian 12 hours ago, robgizlu said: Beefy - It's looking great. The rivets are really useful though a tadge dear Rob Rob these were lying around in a draw from another build but they do give that bit of detail that I managed to sand away 9 hours ago, BeeKay said: Make sure you do count them mate coz you can guarantee some burger else will Yes Brian and you know what kind of answer from me they will be getting beefy Edited May 31, 2017 by beefy66 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aginvicta Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Those rivets certainly make the plates on the hull look very realistic. Andy (attempting to bring some sanity to your thread) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 Just ignore them Keith they are just trying to wind you up especially that geriatric in the wheel chair. 1 minute ago, Aginvicta said: Andy (attempting to bring some sanity to your thread) How dare you Andy !! Sanity on this site you claim ....................... Just remind me what shape was the last boat you built?? I respectfully suggest that you are not in a strong position By the way Keith third rivet from the left, up four, across sixteen and down two. I'm not sure that it's the same size as the one fourteen down, five to the left................ well you get the picture. You're doing a grand job Matey keep up the good work Kev 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Well not much done apart from a coat of paint on the hull I did look into the working light but after a thought you know when you get these great ideas from time to time then it just gets out of hand I have decided not to wire it up as it will be in daylight I mean who ever heard of a cricket match in the dark beefy 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
