Hey James,
Can only repeat what others have said...brilliant stuff!
BTW what diameter clear styrene rod did you use for your flyer's support?
Cheers!

Thanks chaps  :)

Jim has done me proud and she's an excellent example of his skill. Thank you again Sir  :D

She is my jewel in the crown.

Glad to hear it  :)

BTW what diameter clear styrene rod did you use for your flyer's support?
Cheers!

It's 10mm acrylic rod form an English supplier (Hindleys), quite cheap, reasonable quality and in metric instead of imperial which is good.

cheers

James, I went over your topic but could not find it (then again maybe I wasn't trying hard enough)....who makes the bow guns?

Thx, Johan

They look like the 12 pounder Hotchkiss on the bow and 1 pounder Hotchkiss revolver cannon at the sides, made by the Honrable Lead Boiler Suit company.

One of the many on-line model boat suppliers, I can't remember which one I'm afraid as I just shopped round.

cheers
