.........Spiders = no problem, Frogs = panic?!

I cant stand the idea of spiders. Gah! just thinking about it gives me the willies.

By the way congrats on another great build. Your collection keeps growing. Maybe Cpt. Black beard Libben will think twice about messing with the HMS Fleet now. :lol_4: Sorry Kenny I have to be on his side. He has more guns right now. :heh:

Guns or no guns, the Admiral has IRONCLADS! They're invincible and just sail OVER any pirate ship!

Well done Admiral, another great build of yours nearly finnished! You're a little Barrow-shipyard on your own. Congrats with this beauty!

Kenny, the slimey limey's are rattling swords again. The Muppet is a pretty ship off the builder's ways. Admiral HHHH should have tested her in a deeper tank. That way he could see how she would look under water. Arrrgh!

PS : I must dare to ask what are the "things" in the metal basket? I saw them in a lot of US ship. I know my ship culture is limited, but I was a mountain artillery men :heh:

They are Floater Nets, Its a type of cork threaded on a rope, if the ship goes down these float to the surface for the crew to hold on to, I have one more to build and 3 to fill.

Impressive work Admiral,

The stand looks nice also. Were did you get the ships nameplate with your name etched below it?

Now in closing: No one answered the mans question, "the things in the metal basket." Enlighten us please.

Scratchbuilding USS Moffet

Good morning 'Young' (I use the term in its loosest sense) Ron,

Yup, she looks bleedin' great mate. I can't wait to see her let loose in her natural element on 15th, lets hope we're blessed with brilliant sunshine and very little wind AKA chucking it down and blowing a hooley!

Your ideas are the sort that make me wonder 'Why the 'thingy' didn't I think of that'. Brilliant.
