Hi all,

As requested by Skipper I have been busy replacing the moulded hand rails, here are a few photos to prove it.

I had hoped no one would notice and I would get away with it but my plans were foiled, drat, blast (LOL).






Skipper was right they do look better.

Skipper, sorry I missed you at Telford, I attended on Sunday, spent a small fortune on a 1/72 resin Austro-Hungarian WWI Holland U-Boat.

Also heard a whisper that Special Navy might be thinking about releasing a 1/72 Biber in 2007, will have to wait and see.

Oh Yes Thanks Vic for taking the photos

Ah yes, Pete,
You can't get much past us!
They do look much better though!
Thanks for the update, Pete, she's looking great!

Hey nice work Peter!
Sometimes people come to me and say "you are doing some okay scratchbuilding work, it must be a mess to create those hulls in plastic" and then i reply "naye, what really drives me crazy because i am no good at it is repetitive work like ladders, rivets etc".
your work drives me crazy only to look at it :-) well done!!
