Thanks guys, As Dave knows I been down with the dreaded Flue again, so very little modeling has been done, the weather hear has been bad so its keep warm time, and plenty of whisky.
You dont miss much dave, yes the rails are on one side of the ship, I might get in the shed this week.

Hey Ron,
Sorry I've been absent. It looks like I have a whole bunch to catch up on now.
Get better. What kind of whisky are you drinking these days?

That must be about gone. What are you going to buy next?? 
Any ship larger than a Destroyer is a waste of metal.

I have just realised...
you are checking to see if we are all awake...!!
So.. the pedestal uses REAL money...-- actual currency-what look like a British 5 pence coin.. see pic below
-I reckon that is ONE way in making a model have REAL monetary value.... heheheh
Has the weather ( warm enough-no snow?)been kind enough to allow more progress in the shed...?
Tara
JIM B-- basking in 13 deg C --all wrong for this time of the year!!
