What an amazing piece of modelling :-))  Imagine trying to launch and retrieve it at your local pond though {-)


At least it's gone somewhere it will be appreciated.

We had an HMS Lyon modeled entirely out of brass, but we haven't
heard from the modeler in the last year. Some are a bit worried.


Another modeler built the USS Enterprise, and sailed it regularly.

Now he is into is "hot rods".  {:-{
