Beefy - It's looking great.  The rivets are really useful  though a tadge dear

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  :phew:

And I think you are starting to sound just as mad as the rest of them I think I will just have to take this as an attempt at a windup and not a very good one :lalala:

Well, Brian does have a point Keith, rivets should have the same dimensions according to those who are intimate with rivets...........................................(Gremlin56 disappears into the scrubs giggling hysterically) :penguin::clif::penguin::clif::penguin:

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

 

:rofl:

 

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. :devil:

 

You're doing a grand job Matey keep up the good work

Just been catching up on this and it all looks cracking Beefy!

 

Not going to mention rivets....

 

But what are you going to use for the cricket bat and stumps?

I don't think you are going to getaway with this one Beefy!

 

The others are right though when they say that there is real quality work going on here.

And trying something new I removed the molded on Goose neck vents and replaced with plastic rod then realised the when the bridge and cabin area is fitted you can not see them  :shrug:

Funny but I have been actually looking into this just to keep all of you entertained   :idea:

 

There is a company that does this sort of wiring stuff on a small scale so will be having a good chat with this fellow on Sunday  at the Northern model show :waiting:

I was about to correct the typo but I just thought that you would probably prefer it if I left it as it is!

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  :hmmm:

 

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  :shrug:
