I've been reading your "blog" thingy I wonder how you find the time, it seems you are railway man, I must have looked at many of your pics in the past !<br />your attention to detail is great and interests me a lot, like you I'm not a ship builder and I have other aspirations, I'm a bricks and mortar man and I'm planning to build a "scale" model of a Victorian house just yards where I was born.<br />Catch u later.

I have no intention of RC the Hood but I do have I think a unique and hopefully the only one (Ive not seen anyone else do this) way of displaying my finished model, it will be a very personal and dedicated to my great grandfather. Anytime you want to ask a question in any past or future part of the build then be my guest and just ask away..if I cant help then I'll say but remember I'm not an expert but know what I think is right for me, why not take pictures and start you own diary. good luck and take you time..its a hobby..I think:)Guitar Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099195525848960856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-10985505042536881072012-04-12T18:15:26.558+01:002012-04-12T18:15:26.558+01:00Hi Colin, thank you for taking the time to answer ...Hi Colin, thank you for taking the time to answer my last posting ! you mentioned the Titanic, very much in peoples thoughts at the moment even now to this day she has tales to tell, have you been watching Len Goodman's account on the TV ? very interesting and sad in some ways. I was surprised that you are not going R.C. I intend to, with some trepidation I must say.<br />I don't want to take up too much of your time but would it be ok if I dropped you line now and again to "pick" your brain ? I have a few questions already, but I won't be offended if you don't have the time.<br />MOB (Man over board) My name is Kim.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-6444564374063319582012-04-11T18:14:15.437+01:002012-04-11T18:14:15.437+01:00call me colin, guitar school is only a name for so...call me colin, guitar school is only a name for some reason that is used, thanks for your kind words, I very much hope when you get sorted in your new house you can enjoy building what many (including me of course) to be THE classic ship. It has so much history and was embedded in the British people's soul for so many years the loss is still today as with Titanic hard to believe it really happened. I'm no expert on the Hood or model shipbuilding but hope you can take something from my diary to guide you...good luck mate and thanks again.Guitar Schoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00099195525848960856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-52445277877422515532012-04-11T18:11:20.826+01:002012-04-11T18:11:20.826+01:00Sorry I ment G.S.Sorry I ment G.S.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1633198192345256711.post-69096505709486743152012-04-11T18:08:55.138+01:002012-04-11T18:08:55.138+01:00Hello G.T.
