Hi Chris, just like everything else you've made on Tiger, your crane looks really good and looks great whether folded or extended and those led's will add even more realism to your model - I salute your efforts Sir!


Aye,
Ray.

update on that ships crane an what makes it special is that its the first thing on this ship that i can say its finished :-))
Yay! Looking good.
And it brings to mind a thing where people say they don't have the extended patience to build models -- ahh, but it isn't extended patience, it is a collection of little bits of instant gratification; You got that part glued on, Yay! You got the pilot's seat painted, Yay! That kind of thing.
(and now later in the morning I see a couple typos to fix)  :embarrassed:

HI Scott yes when you think about it this ship model is loads of seperate models that will all come togeather in the end to make the main model so no i dont need exstended patience as each part is a model in its own right if i read your post propberly an understand it
cheers for lookin in on the build as a lot more to come

Yes Chris I do.  :}
Because of several health things I don't watch TV and movies at all any more, never did much, but I do like Star Trek. Used to have the Starfleet Battles board and miniatures game and a number of bought and scratchbuilt miniatures.
Through the Starship Modeler forum and a couple YouTubers I have kept aware of Star Trek Strange New Worlds and it looks quite good.
Speaking of Star Trek, You Tube, and model boats ...
... from way back in 08, https://youtu.be/zQEsG4eKIXs
Not my model, though!  {-)
