Look what arrived on my doorstep this morning!

The Devil made me do it, with a little help from his minions. I won't name names but you know who you are!

One more .... this way we madden the friend Al... [quoted text]
Too late Daniel, by the looks of things I'm obviously quite mad already! I've ordered the 'Big Ed' PE set and the brass barrels from Master, as well as some of Robert Palmacci's plans for correcting the bow gun tub, depression rails, and smoke buoys. I'd say that I've definitely take a nose-dive down the rabbit hole.

Great work Daniel as usual. Well, I couldn't resist, just had to start assembly of the Schellboot's hull. It is massive, my Type XXIII U-boat would fit inside of it. I have a question. While I was going through the instructions I noticed that the four aft-most screws used to secure the main deck don't seem to be hidden by anything and would have to be filled in. Is this correct, or did I miss something?

I've learned two things after all these years of wedded bliss. First, it's futile trying to keep any secrets from the missus. She could have had a great career in one of the Counter-Intelligence services. Secondly, it's a given that no matter what, I'll eventually end up in deep Doo-Doo!

Thanks Daniel.
Yes my S-100(s) I totally hang my head in shame.
I still haven't finished my E-Boat!
Talking of wives mine is hassling me to tackle the collection of S-100's I have in the shipyard awaiting action.
Your effort has certainly inspired me Daniel I just need to spark into some action.
