JB - I would like to see the other photos if it is not problem. It looks to be a great model.
I first started building the model when I was seventeen. My parents had a old summer house that became my workshop. I completed the basic hull and the shells for the two main susperstructures but could not afford the two Taycol meteors I wanted to install. Shortly after my parents moved house and it was relegated to the garden shed. Unfortunately the shed was not locked and the model was stolen. I restarted and got to the same stage and then went off to University and the model was moved to the attic. When I married the boat moved with us but was again relegated to the attic. I always intended to restart but whilst working, raising a family, repairing the car, doing the garden etc. I never found the time.
So it was not until I retired that I brought it back down from the attic, it was a bit dusty but suprising not too worse for wear. There was a gash on the starboard side of the hull, hence the patch, and a few other minor dents and on the superstructure the ply and started to come unstuck in a couple of places.
Dan - Amazon have a copy of the video for sale, save you the hazzle, but thanks very much for the offer. I have found the 34 inch long to be big enough, any bigger and I would need to build a workshop in the garden to house it!
