Thanks Mike, she looks terrific. Martin.

Looking very nice indeed, I assume the undercarriage went together with no problems? Thanks for taking us along on on your building journey. Martin

What a filthy mess you have created, I love it 👏👏

But did you “skip the light fandango and turn cartwheels ‘cross the floor”. but it turned out well in the end, and it’s looking good.

Sad to hear about the film it had all the hallmarks of a good one with some fine actors , but thanks for let us know. Will steer clear.

Hi Mike, I just remember (somewhere back in my head) that the leads are a light brown/ tan colour. hope that helps martin.

Very impressive modelling, well done. Martin.

Well done, another piece of stunning work. Although not in your league, your work gives inspiration to aim for. Thank you, Martin.

Thank you for allowing us to see your model of Hiryu, it looks absolutely stunning.

Virgin olive, baby, crude, or maybe just engine oil ……. Which are they then?

If this is anything like 375, it will be a great model, looking forward to seeing it develop. Martin.

My goodness does this mean we have to re-appraise Titanic

The Russians are disguising their submarines as icebergs “devilish clever”

A little voice inside your ear is whispering “SIR GARETH”🦻

Jon, for goodness sake’s will you slow down, your giving me a complex. Martin.

Jon, when it comes to modelling does not madness afflict us all, it does to me. Martin.

Hi Jon, I have Sir Gareth in my “to build “ section/stash it’s a lovely little ship (approx 118 mm in length) so a lot smaller than Langley. what ever you decide on I am sure it will turn out great. Martin

Jon, just caught up with your new build, nice to see your still wielding your soldering iron to good effect. As for using colourcoats paints I personally would not use anything else. Just waiting for @Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies to restock the grey for Langley to proceed. Good luck with the weathering. Martin

She looks absolutely great, you have done a marvellous job on her you should be very very proud. You shall always be “solderman “ in my books. Well done. Martin

Jon, very well done . You conquered all that metal work and produced an amazing ship, thanks for leading the way. Martin

Thanks Jon, I have the AV-3, I doubt mine will turn out as good, but I will give it a go. The Boss is ok now, as I have spent the day mowing lawns and cutting hedges and now feel knackered. Thanks for the heads up on the PE I will order up the Eduard sets and dust off the soldering iron. Martin.

Jon, it’s looking good, your fix for the nets via @RGL just goes to show what a nice bunch we are. By the way your both in trouble now as I have just had my Langley delivered so I told the “boss” you made me do it… But I don’t think she believed me.

Thank you @Faraway & @RGL it’s good to learn from great modellers Martin

Looking good Jon, do you prime the photo etch before painting or not? Martin.

I always think that walking away from the problem, having a damn great scream then a stiff drink…… No it doesn’t help but I feel better later. l am sure you will solve the problem, just remember you are “SOLDERMAN” Martin.
