Blimey! There's another Herring Meister out there too!

21 now! 

Wow, absolutely stunning. I've just learnt from my mother that my grandfather who worked in Barrow road, fell in this pit and was understandly hurt, badly bruising his spleen. It certainly looked deep! Agreed with the comment that a roof would hide this glorious modelling.

Stunning Pete - I must get on with mine! I agree with painting the inside of the headcode boxes - it makes an immediate improvement to the "face" of the warship.

What a great Blog

My grandfather used to work at Barrow road from the war till he moved to Bath road in 1960.

I have a few pics of the old place somewhere, really looking forward to seeing the model, although it was long gone when I was a kid.
