Ahoy, Steve, that's GREAT news, mate!
Loading images is quite simple, and here are some Image FAQ if you have any problems....if you still need a hand, give me a shout!
Cheers,

Well my Army son came home for 2 weeks and decided I need a computer, the Scharnhorst is a gift to me from me (Santa) I also got the Bismarck and Tirpitz plus all the P.E. from wem for both ships I also bought the PoW, my hobby room is my Navy son's old room I'll throw pics when I shoot the Scharnhorst photos. My wife call my hobby therapy which it is I guess most of my projects are WWI aircraft.

Wow, you sure have a lot of projects started!
The Scharnhorst looks good! I noticed some imperfections at the bottom of the hull. Does it look like it will need a lot of work there?

It feels like a base ball bat the top hull is the Tirpitz.

I picked a old Lindberg Bismarck kit on ebay cheap I'll use parts from it for the Sharnhorst, som of the resin parts are kinda useless so improvise, overcome, adapt.
