I know you do, I was hoping I could talk you out of it :lol:

[Siara]

Bill - i still have months of work on my beast so i let you have the deck , as long as you cover the build with step by step , so we can all admire the excellent model which VIIc is.;)



PS:send me the PM with your address please

Hi Bill & Siara :)

I just took a quick peek in my wallet and found $60.00 my wife didn't find.:huh:

This 57 yo retired kid is off to my local well stocked hobby store and finally get me my own boat.

Wish me luck.


BTW guys see I gotta plan. I get it home , put some dust on the box, put it under the bed then pull it out when she's home and say "WOW I forgot all about this I wonder how long this has been here." :D

That's exactly what this 54-yr old working stiff does :lol:

Ive been to the London Holborn model shop today , and to my surprise the new VIIC is on the shelve.
Price is 15.99£ if memory serves me right.
I looked in the box / yes the box was open already / and the model looks to me to be carbon copy of the minenlager version , but the deck is shorter.
Everything else is the same as VIID.

UPDATE : Help need more dust.

Spent all the $60.00 and $35.00 more. Put that on plastic.

Hopped over to HomeDepot and got a complete exacto set and a new Dremel with all the Bells and Whistles. My old stuff is just that Old.

Put it all on the good ole Visa too. :D Not to worry.:yep:

I have a Plan. :know: I think so anyway. :hmm:

BTW guys see I gotta plan. I get it home , put some dust on the box, put it under the bed then pull it out when she's home and say "WOW I forgot all about this I wonder how long this has been here." :D Just make sure you have every single base covered. You don't want her to say "Not long, I'd imagine, since I vacuumed under that bed THIS MORNING!"
