Hey there Dicky, we gotta slow you doon - that build is looking really good my mate.
Well done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Further to our conversation earlier
have you ever thought about building a model of an offshore diving vessel - I was thinking along the lines of 'The Seaforth Clansman' plan number is MM1308 - I do know you can purchase a styrene hull for this model and that would overcome one of the drawbacks which we discussed.
The reason I was thinking of the Seaforth Clansman for you - is - it has plenty of scope in it - i.e. you could have the crane working; the diving bell operating as well - she has a moon pool - plus the fact she also has bow/stern thrusters along with Kort nozzles - these you could have operating independently - she also has fire monitors - if you wanted to build her with them operating.
Lot of variety/working features here - which could be built into this model....plus the good side IT WILL SLOW YOU DOWN
A lot of this model could be scratch built too.
aye
