JOCKNEY Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 I couldn't resist the temptation to build this one, complete with it's stripy paint job Picture from Scalemates I'll post the kit pictures later. It should hopefully turn out something like this However I must complete some of my Frog GB builds first ! cheers Pat 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Hi Stuart I hope you don't mind me asking but going by your BM name and photo, would you have served on the Courageous ? The reason I ask is that I am sure I went to a Navy Day in Portsmouth many years ago and got to go on board, it made such an impression I can still remember it ! cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Pat, you're correct in your assumption. I served on Courageous for 3 years before moving onto Renown for another 3 years. Courageous is now a museum boat at Devonport, have been trying to visit her when I'm down that way on holidays but unfortunately you need to arrange the visit and other things get in the way.

Johnson Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Hi Pat, Looking through the builds I looked in on yours, and got a bit worried, not your usual rate of progress! (maybe I missed another post somewhere?) Hope all is well Cheers, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope all is well Cheers, Hi Charlie Apologies, no excuses just life stuff getting in the way, too much with kids and work, so I'm afraid the modelling had to give. I'll keep supporting everyone else's builds cheers Pat 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnson Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hi Pat, I'm retired, kids grown and gone and still don't have enough time. So quite understand. Modelling is supposed to be fun, relaxing, but can be a bit intense, especially hosting a GB! Enjoy the break and I look forward to seeing you build in the future. Best wishes, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterB Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hi Pat, 'The best laid schemes o' mice an' men oft gang aft a-gley', to quote Burns - thought it was appropriate given where you are now living! Better luck next time - "Floatplanes and Flying Boats III" anyone? As Charlie said being retired should make a difference but sometimes it is still difficult to find time. Like the Perth you could make a start on it and then finish it off in a KUTA sometime. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianMF Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 Hope it’s all positive life stuff getting in the way. Still wanna see that Perth built sometime though Regards, Adrian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
