Those Bofors look great Michael!


I am glad you think so given what went into them effort wise. Absurd what we do at times for this hobby.

thanks
Michael

...I decided to go back and finish the last of the guns, the 40mm Bofors. It wasn't a great decision from a well being point of view but at least they are done.


Michael,

Your mental well-being is all well and good, but let's not forget what's really important - those are some damn fine looking Bofors!

Hi Michael, been a while since an update. How's the progress going or has your mojo dropped off? So much PE!!

Hi Ned,
Dockyard progress has ground to halt. A partially built Enterprise reminds every time I sit at the desk. The PE is pretty much complete, except for the flight deck. Now it is a matter of assembling and painting the substantial number of sub sets of kit which is where the missing mojo is a problem. I am building cars at the moment, a new area for me, but soon I will get back to the build, if nothing to else to clear the space.

cheers

Michael

I know that feeling all too well Micheal

I'm in a similar position with the KGV at the moment. With only 3 items to complete on her before being able to sign her off for rigging, it seems my mojo has moved on to Auto modeller for the time being

No doubt, our guilt will lead us back to the salty side soon enough

Very nice Progress Michael,

I have probably said this before, but there is an impressive amount of etch happening here. Very well handled too.

Those Bofors mounts are superb.

Cheers

Si
