Hi all,
habitues of other forums might have seen this, but it's a diorama, or rather, a 1/48th scale set piece, which I knocked up in a couple of evenings because I was missing my estuaries....the popping of the aerating mud, the tap-tap-tapping of rigging on pine masts, the clang of the aluminium masts being struck rhythmically by a wire halyard and that mesmeric lapping of an incoming tide, lazily subsuming oyster beds, cockleshell paths and slippery wooden plank bridges over the widening rills. Old hulls still able to rise to the occasion shift uneasily from side to side till, with a resounding whoosh, they once again celebrate flotation......
Aaahhhh....I feel better now.
