Thanks for the additional pictures. Someone asked me what your aim is with the garden. Silly bugg3r. I put him right. Your aim has been achieved... Digger |
Ah the ever helpful build sticker / plate, i'd have known her as AS164 until we knew the name. Good to know they're looking after her.
In this picture you can see a couple ships in construction, in the foreground are bits, upside down (that's the way they're built) and in the background is a ship nearly complete that is sat in the dry dock, that ship i think was Toisa Conqueror a Offshore Supply Vessel (Del might know it) but it will be painted international orange rather than primer.
and this piccy is looking in the dry dock at a pair of sister ships in differing stages of build. The one on the right is more complete and will float out first, then the one on the left will float over onto the right side. When the tide goes out and the remaining water pumped out there is a slot in the dock for the parts of the next ship to be dropped in on the left side.
The aim with that part of the garden is to make a drive. Now that i've accessorised the digger i'm good to go, although i could do with a little dumper now.
