Santa bring you anything nautical?

I once built the Beagle because I had a Beagle dog.

I bought myself the Revell kit Junker Ju/3m civil flight version. I thought it is a good idea to see how well it measures up when compared to building sailing ships.

The kit is costly (around $35,-) and huge 1:48 (wing span around 60cm). As an upper class idiot I have been destroying the right wing and asked Revell whether they will be that kind to send me some spare parts.

My next interesting ship could be the Beagle from Revell, because Beagle hosted (allegedly) Charles Darwin at one of her cruises.

Dies the wife telling you to shape up or SHIP out count???

Several new pairs of tweezers, a boatload of #11 blades, another boatload of new emeryboard sanding sticks. Stuff you can't locate just when you need a new one.

Two gift certificates to the LHS to put towards floaty things!

My father-in-law gave me the Armed Virginia Sloop from Model Expo. Now I just need to finish what's on the bench so that I can start playing with my new toy.

I did very well, my wife gave me John Lamberts Allied Coastal Forces Vol. 2 and my daughter Osprey's British MTB's....... Bliss !!

Now I will be able to finish my 1/24 Vosper MTB

Happy Christmas to all
