Bertie McBoatface Posted June 11, 2022 Author Share Posted June 11, 2022 Don't be sad, @Mjwomack and @Black Knight, the moment's passed anyway. Who gives a flying ... machine about last week's news. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMS Victory was rammed in 1903 by the battleship Neptune, but not as badly as OBS Victory. (Old Bertie's Ship) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Gidday Bertie, I'm sorry to see/hear what happened to your build of the Victory but I have great admiration for the way you seem to be taking it. Best regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roginoz Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 There I was, just having found this thread, [well, I'm a bit slow ! ], and, low 'n' behold, I get to this point and.........it's all over........ Perhaps a suggestion from Old King Neptune that you're taking on too much of the nautical theme........ Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the rigging that goes into a model such as this, that would have been heartbreaking I think. 1 hour ago, roginoz said: you're taking on too much of the nautical theme........ Shock, horror, wash your mouth out! 😁 🙂 Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
