.........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. Sorry Kenny I have to be on his side. He has more guns right now.

TommyL.

yes, but his guns dont shoot anything.... unlike mine.


I dont think i mentioned it, but i also have a tank now that shoots BB's.

With all thoughs working guns Kenny I would have thought that you would have blasted your way out of your padded cell by now.

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!

Hi Guys, just a small up date,

I made my stand, and took some pictures , the back drop curtacy of Ludwig.

























The photo,s are large, I will resize them , the picture is only 5 inches wide but its at 300 pixels to the inch so you can see the model clearer.

enjoy, ARH

looks great ron!

Now your talking. Looks great Admiral.

... it seems a wonderful girl with her best dress!

Super!

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

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.

Looking mighty fine Ron I'd love the chance to see her on the water one day.

Simply a Masterpiece Ron

Bravo l'ARHtist

hmmm...
What is the next to built?

Hi Ron Posh very posh ! Looks like Moffett has just been taken out of the case in a maritime museum .
Dave Wooley

I'm still waiting for him to finish the vermont!

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.

It must be late. How could I not understand that?

Very good job Admiral. You may now sit back with a whiskey and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

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.
