I have seen the 'Ron'. Pale but interesting. He's still not 100% but he's getting there I hope. His 'Duane' looks better 'in the flesh' as can be imagined. He showed some of the guns at our last meeting. Very neat. I'm green with envy as all I had to show was a 'Corgi Forward March' Ship's Surgeon ca. Battle of Trafalgar, that I had bought as it was in a sale. Not bad if a little on the heavy side.

What Howie is not telling you is, for awhile his 93 year old mother had been ill and passed away when I was half way through my recovery. So it was to be expected he had done nothing, it was good to see the old dog again,

I see your back at work, im hoping to be doing something very soon.

Looking forward to it very much, Ron. Is there much dust to blow off the Duane?

Andy, I think there,s more dust and cob webbs on me than on Duane,

the weather here is not helping, cold, rain, wind that cuts though you, still trying to get in the drydock

This is as far as I have got to-date, a bow and stern shot of Duane.

Wrong Kenny. The best part we Pirates like is when we sink it. Arrrrgh!!

Well obviously, I meant the best part of the build .... (So i can tell how weak it is!)

To all the guys on the site, since we finished the pirate wars, who were hoplessly trashed, kenny and Less have only built 1 model between them, the RN have built loads, to name a few, North Carolina, Iron Duke, USS Moffett, now nearly finished Duane, the other members of the RN have been building to, we have to keep our eyes peeled, kenny might do a sneak attack in one of his canoe,s/

kennylibben · Post by **kennylibben** » Wed Apr 02, 2008 2:33 pm

hehe, your forget! We didn't need to build any, considering only yours were sunk!

Actually I've built 2, with a third about half way done. I just don't post my builds, because quite frankly combat ships are boring to look at, and the plastic kit I built was rather boring as well being OOB .Mind you, you also have alot more free time, experience, and revenue than myself as well. (But we still won the war!)

Still, glad to see you back in the drydocks! I've got to have something to shoot at with my new combat ship!
