| That's a good looking ship Chris. You have a real production line going on there.

| Aftermarket super-detailing parts! Only a matter of time before there are tools for drilling out gun barrels, opening doors and prepainted little men. Amazing how there's a scale for every collector/builder! |

| The hull is warped and bends upwards like a banana. I have used clamps to glue the hull onto the base plate. The board should fix the warped hull problem. The main guns are attached to the hull using grommets so they had to be put in place before I glued the base plate. My mate Eddie is under the bench making sure I do a good job.  |

| Looking good. Lots of little parts!
Glad to see that Eddie is doing his part for quality assurance!! He reminds me of the dog I had as a kid. Same breed and same coloring. He was not into modeling (although I was), but he did like to chew on tennies that were left around on the floor. He thought they were his treats. |

| That is promising to be a superb model Chris.

Yeah, mini schnauzers are great dogs. I think of Eddie as an old man in a dog suit. A wonderful breed. I have no leg room under my bench, it's his office. He doesn't chew shoes like your dog, he's too busy sleeping, in fact when he is sleeping he is the only one in the house who knows what he is doing. |
