Good to have you back on line Warren, is there anything true in the rumour going around that you are the new "Bush Tukker Man" on OZ tv?




He was actually an officer in the Army... I was in the RAAF .. He used to sleep under canvas on exercises... we used to sleep in motels... See where this is going?

BTW, How many pieces in the Roberts kit?

Cheers
Warren

Yes, I was rather afraid it would take this direction
The Roberts clocks in at about 540 parts according to Trumpie, actually quite a lot for this little ship. Should be an interesting build when I get around to it.

It's not showing up on any of the U.S. companies that I use as of today, May 2. I have been looking. I'll keep my eyes watching though.

Hi Mark,

You can Never have too much in the stash mate,

Cheers.

I almost bought it last night, but at $435 delivered to me, no... I bought a Roberts and a USS New York instead!

BTW, where is the build Mr Sallows?? Drop that junk and get on with this one please... maybe now.
