“Over-egging the pudding” … another one for my vocabulary. Nice expression.

Always preferred it rather than 'gilding the lily', whoever she was.

To balance things up I have added the port side boat, so now it is on to the forecastle where I have started by making a balls up of the four inch gun's platform and have decided to remake it before I go on. Well that is the weekend sorted.

Some pics..



Cheers JJ..​

Thank you Paul, I know what you mean, in fact I was just debating with myself whether I should add some rust, thus adding a little bit more to the ships growing olfactory compendium. I am sure rust must smell of something, I know it never sleeps!

Morning folks.
I have remade the four inch gun's platform and added the ready use containers for the cordite charges along with the shells sitting in their holders. A big thank you to Marco for producing the both beautiful and functional shell holders; very pleasing to the eye.

Cheers JJ..​

very pleasing to the eye.

That they are Jack. The whole redo is much better, if that is even possible with your work. Oh congrats to Leinster whipping the Bulls in the URC final. Cheers Grant.

That looks nice, Jack. For sure you are now listening to:

That looks nice, Jack. For sure you are now listening to:

Ah yes Marco, the best thing to come out of Holland since Golden Earing.

Lots of Radar Love, Jack
