Aye,

Note: a lot of my photos on this blog have been taken off by the image hosting site however, I know I've got them stored away on another of my old laptops so can get them back up if there's any further interest in the actual build :-))

Hi there Chris, many thanks for your response and, when I get a chance, I'll dig them photos out and put them up.


Sad to hear about your friends passing and the 'Cherry B' was a Leander frigate - HMS Charybdis (F75) was a Leander-class frigate of the Royal Navy. She was built by the Harland & Wolff company of Belfast, and was the last ship to be built there for British naval forces until RFA Fort Victoria of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, was launched in 1990.
Anyway, hope the model will pass onto someone who can finish it.


Aye,
Ray.

Hi Chris, my photos of the Ariadne build have disappeared - I was sure they were on my old computer but not able to get them now so I'm sorry to disappoint you but can't be helped I suppose.
Good to know you're heading towards the finish on your Tiger by the way  :-))


Aye,
Ray.

Its so sad that you lost your photos. The uploading and tweaking can take a good percentage of the time a build takes.


She looks fab on the water Cap'n!

Hi there Chris, many, many thanks for your nice comments. I don't know for sure how she manages to get back upright when I bring her out of the turns, but it must be something to do with the model being flat bottomed and she only has one prop whereas the real ship had twin props. Another thing I think about the turns is when the hull leans over it reaches the point where it acts something like a deep V, which stops her leaning any further.
One other thing is that the superstructure is made mainly from plastic which helps keep the weight lower down.


Your Tiger crew are looking good all painted up by the way and will help bring your ship to life  :-)


Hope you and your Jen are doing okay just now...


Aye,
Ray.
