Hi Guys,
It's been nearly a year in construction but she's all but done!
For more pictures of her including lots of details about the building go here:- www.marine-modelling.co.uk

It's just 10 days short of a year since I got the plans.
Trials prior to painting went well enough. I had some problems over a tendancy for her to 'wander' but a pair of large rudders brought her under control. She's not got wet since before I started painting her, it'll be her official launching next weekend.

Chris | Thanks Chris, I don't expect any problems other than having to trim her with ballast. I'm looking forward to seeing her on the water and will have still and video cameras at the ready.

| Scottie,
Just viewed your website for the build on this one, very impressive and a lot of work gone into that.
The video of the Bow and Stern doors operating is excellent...a very nice touch to a very nice model.
Regards.......Mark | |

I have to admit I'm very pleased with the way the doors look when operating, for me it's what brings the model to life. Lifeboats and a few figures scattered around will finish her off nicely.

| Good Luck with the Launch Scottie,
I'm sure she'll be fine and a lot of fun for you too...you should think about entering her for scale model comps as I am sure she will do very well.
Regards.....Mark. | |
