I also build plastic aircraft and cars (and anything else that takes my fancy). Look through this forum for anything started by me and it's probably some kind of build thread.

Thanks - I'll look forward to going through those links!

If aircraft are also your thing, then the build thread for dr_gn's 1:72 Dam Busters Tornado and the one for his 1:48 Mozzy are absolutely amazing (be prepared, you'll need a good few hours to read through them)!

Thanks! BTW the "wood-finish" Mosquito was 1:72, if that's what you're thinking of:

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of, Wow, even more impressive!

In awe

Now - how about the 4th (fake) funnel it had during its most famous voyage...?

No way - had enough of funnels without adding another!

The Captain of the SMS Emden (Karl von Müller) was my Grandad's uncle. My grandad had told me this many, many years ago (over 40 years ago...) but I wasn't that bothered at the time. This thread triggered my interest, my Dad (he's 87) is currently reviewing the family tree, that he created years ago and was able to confirm this to me today.

As you were... I'm not sure whether this was worth posting but I'll take that risk

p.s. superb model, very,very impressive work.
