That looks great, need a cabinet to show it

Beautiful work. I was fortunate enough to be the ship's cook on the replica (made for the 1980s movie, not the appallingly inaccurate 1960s version). She is a crazy ship to sail on she corkscrews through the water, pitching and rolling in moderate seas. Would be absolute hell in a storm

Excellent work. Is it milk or plain?

(QI Buzzer goes off).

Plain chocolate bounty has not been available for a while. Shame as the red ones were much better than the blue ones - nowhere near as sweet

I have four of this size ships now and am running out of space to put them. I put one of my old ones on portslade freecycle FB page in case anyone wanted one and this old chap came and picked It up.

I tend to find I keep them for a few months and then need the space as building them is the joy.

I will put another couple on there soon in case anyone wants one for decoration

Would be nice if a pub wanted one

I have Not tried one yet, but I know Artisania Latina do one and Occre a couple. The Santisima is supposed to be really excellent.

i have an account with lightmybricks who provide electrical lighting kits for Lego and i have adapted some of those for my ships. That is actually quite fun and saves all the soldering etc.

I need to finish off a tram I am building ( the Majorca one also from Occre) but was struggling to adapt the lighting to fit as a lot of the lights , including the front headlight was supplied “ solid state metal” so drilling it out was really fiddly
