hi there, just to let you know that the crab boat project is on hold for the moment. i have lots of work in the garden and around the house, and trying to get out and about during this so called "summer" we are having. the boat will be back in production soon though

Hello everybody,
After a summer break to do stuff on the house and garden, and fit a kitchen for the girlfriends dad the project is back on track.
i've just sent for my model exhibition tickets and looking forward to it. Here are a few more pics of what has been occuring.
