Yes Martin that is some feat, according to the reference page it as set about because one of the other Ship yards had built one in ten days, when asked if they could build one faster, they replayed that it would have been eight days, had they not had to delay the build so that the President could attend the launching.

Hi One and All

SWMBO asked me to go into the loft today (07/02/22) as I was looking around for what she was after, I found this long brown box, when I opened it I found that it was the Liberty ship that had been left to me in a mates will, now this must have been about 8/9 years ago.

He had started making it and only had fixed the shaft in…

Hi James

Hi Martin
I do not look on myself as an accomplished model maker; I look on myself as a suck it and see type, so if it looks right then it is right. As they say “Bullshit Baffles Brains”

I would call myself a semi scratch builder, I look for a pre made hull and plans for the type of model that I am going to build, then make most of the rest.

I am working on a Vic Smeed Guardsman at the moment…
