That Ship was done by Louis Carabott. He is a brilliant Maritime Modeller. If you are on FB, check out his gallery Page.....Cheers mark

I am repeating myself...but , thanks for all your postings...Since you nearing the end of your build project, I am hopeful that you'll do a final set of detailed photos, and post them as a reference to all of us who have been following your progress.

With the server change, my sender details may not print.

Looks like the server change was successful!

Hi Mark,
The guy did a brilliant build, looks the real deal.
Hi Jim,
I'll try and finish the Wasp project and post a final set of photos. At the moment I am working on some things that generate money instead of crippling my bank account.
Cheers,
Julian

That I do understand....no cash flow...no hobby!

Whenever you get the time, your work and photos will be greatly appreciated and filed away for reference to be used when I finally get my build started.

Glad to see that you're still alive, Julian. I was beginning to fear that Mrs. G had had second thoughts about sharing her home with all these large ships, not to mention the soon to be arriving Bismarck, and had buried you in your backyard. Al

Hi Al, very much alive and kicking
Mrs. G wouldn't bury me, I'd probably be dumped on the compost heap
Cheers,

Looking forward to seeing this one finished! Maybe that will be the motivation for me to make soem progress on my CVN... Did do some additional work in the hangar bay. Will send you some pics when I get it cleaned up a bit.

Hi there Thomas,
I sort of went into melt-down on this build. Couldn't stand the sight of it for a couple of months. Now time to finally tame the beast.

So you reached the "I just wanna finish the thing" stage?
