Hi all
In answer to your questions she has been a pretty hassle free build. i have made a few adjustments to the plan with regard to materials used as i haven't been able to get my hands on things so ive found alternatives. She is exactly 49" long (lucky me) and i would say about 95% balsa. well everything below the superstructure is balsa anyway. I built the stacks using two different sized pipes as formers and wrapped them in card. I found it a bit awkward to make them using the formers on the plans and still having them open for the smoke to go through
markit, please post some pics of your build. you can post them on here or start a new thread but it would be great to see how somebody else is doing.
I haven't had a lot of time recently to get in the shed and get on but im hoping to get on with it soon. i think im going to have a crack at the turrets next so look out for the pics.
thanks everyone for the positive comments, they're all very encouraging to read
