    Building of GREMIR HMS Onslow

    Hello jnyoun, I applaud your work. First to take on such a complex build as a first timer. Most of us started with simple models, ships are a "special class" which most of us consider "for the gifted". Second for starting over and for a third time. Your determination will be rewarded. Think of...

    'The Cleo Thread' for your viewing pleasure

    Maurice. I signed up for hotmail and was in process of sending you the file. However, the file is a collection of files and hotmail wants to send them one by one. I cannot figure out how to send a folder of files. Any suggestion. John

    'The Cleo Thread' for your viewing pleasure

    Well I just checked and have it. Not sure how to make it available. It appears to be 4+ mb. My yahoo account would melt down. Probably could send it in pieces. Could someone provide some history/background on the Cleopatra? John

    Looking to do the HMS Surprise

    I have been harboring the same dream. To build the Surprise or as close as a kit can get me. I have the Cleopatra. Some time ago a leading member of this group was deep into the building of the Cleo. Larry's passing left the cleo as a fond memory. The build thread was a joy and a testiment to...

    We've done it again...

    DeWayne, I know it must be hiding in plain sight but what is the cost of the roadster. I am wanting the red one and will be patient however I believe there are more then color differences and may need the blue one as well. You know how the "need" thing goes. John
