Real life thread

That's a great image, Jeff. And a lot of work in a single picture I imagine. If at all possible, I'd like to request a few more similar pics of the other CSGs / ARGs. I'm not aware those would be on your site? These side by side pics really give a great sense of relative size of those vessels.
Anyways, as you indicate, there's so much more work for you to do, I hope you and your shipyard continue production for many years to come.

Thanks mein Freund!

I will take some time to put together pictures of some groupings.

I can do a full US Navy CSG, the PLAN CSG, a French one (though there is no Horizon model to build for it), the Japanese one based on the Hyuga, of course this Royal Navy one (though some day I hope to add a Queen Elizabeth to it), and I am working on the last model fro my Russian one built around the Kuznetsov. I should nbe complete with the VAryag Slavl-class cruiser in the next week or ten days.

I can also do an almost complete US Navy ARG, and the makings of a PLAN ARG based on a Type 071 LPD.

If I had a big enough space, having a Joint Group with two or more nations would be nice too.

Having a grouping of the US, France and UK would be nice...or the US, the UK, and Japan.

Having the full Liaoning and Kuznetsov groups together would be another really nice one.

Thanks for asking.

You have no idea what I've read, nor do you know about the lawyers I've had to deal with and pay large sums of money to. It matters not if you're legally right, you're still going to have to defend yourself to get to a judgement or dismissal. One of the reasons why I'm not working to keep the site up in some form is for the countless users who would be subjected to continued liability because of a post they made a long time ago. On my end, it's referred to as a non-party subpoena. It's where a law firm isn't suing me, but where a court requires that I turn over information about a user who posted something on this site and requires that I help some law firm go after someone here. It's not something I'm looking to see happen anymore.

Wow..

Okay, now for the REALLY important sports news.

One of my grandsons played in a League Football playoff tournament this weekend.

Now THAT's what I am talking about.

They won the 1st game, advanced to the quarter finals that afternoon, and then lost that game. Their season is over, but as a proud Papa, I still have to crow a little.

Your sons are fine looking lads, my friend.

You have so much to be proud of! They grow up fast.

I remember well when my two sons were young like that...now they (who were our two youngest children of five) are 30 and 36 years old!

Heck, my oldest grandson, whom I will watch in a tennis tournament tomorrow afternoon, is now about to turn 14 himself!

 

[Miragedriver]

Thank you Jeff! Yes I enjoy every minute I can with them. They mean the world to me. They do grow up fast, and I pray that I will be able to see them grow and become honest fine men.
