hi there all
thanks for all the information - you have given a lot to think about - the owld rusty cogs are a turning over.
Ging my mate, at 1:96 scale the model must be 10 foot long? Is there any chance you could put a photograph of her showing the hull sections 'close up' cos this was one way I was thinking of building the model (i.e. in sections) but, do the joints stick out like a sore thumb, with it being a white hull?
aye
