couple more bits done today - this week boats! Teel you soemthing the propellers were well fiddly. But I 'stuck' the boats upright with the bow embedded in some blu-takc and away you go. And I had to run a drill bit down the holes a fair depth to accept the brass railings.

Also this weekend I whipped this little model up. Couple of million stone bits, few hundred tonnes of cement and not to mention a few hundred thousand tubes of No More Nails! Voila! Looks good doesnt it! For a sense of scale its about 200ft high and its the old Rochdale to Bacup railway line - tis known as the Seven Arches!

WOW, looking real nice Chill. That brass looks really fiddly. Are you going to have any problems painting them now that all the bits are on the boat?

Thats my problem Rod - my painting skills are naff to be blunt and I dont want to ruin all my work -eg tthe hull - with my rubbish painting. I may have a goo on the larger boats this coming week.
