      Hi All,

      back in out side work shop saturday /sunday,

      had a pile off Ikea blind slates in corner ,

      then a eureka moment why not build ss noggsund using it built one in balsa as used by Glynn Guest as plan build was nice little easy build and sailed very well, but sold it to pay for another build , upset the grandson who enjoyed the model, will now build another using blind ,

      a few pictures of start start……..nordsund

                    Hello Larry

                    Keep up the good work with your Silk Purse out of a Sows Ear model !
                    I like the card plating!…….What a nice effect?
                    I notice you are not overlapping the plates?……Take a look at my first entry in Eureka Moments, to see what I'm on about
                    All the best…….Bob

                              Larry. I like the people on board. Gives a boat like this life, and also interest.

                              All mine are simple things, but knowing what bods by the shore will look at…this is the key thing.

                              Aircraft on an aircraft carrier..working lights.. bits that go round..this is what people LOOK at, they dont SEE the rest.. they assume the rest of the craft to be as the EXPECT it to be. This is the trick. The first thing any one will look at on your boat is the people.

                              Berengars ARGUS aircraft carrier, it took me ages to do the stripes on it, and what is the only thing people see about the boat ?? the 4 biplanes on deck, which I bought.

                              You are making a really nice boat there Larry, but the only thing anyone will look at is the figures on the back, mark my words!

                              Ashley        or front , assuming a few will be placed at the sharp end as well.

                                the lads carpet carrier is is looking a bit battle weary now , last seen covered with space battle wagons and transformers, may salvage it from scrap yard ,. it will go on todo list ….
