THE END

I have finally finished all the additional bits and pieces which Looking at the model boat which is in the National Maritime Museum it has a number of “adornments” which I think I will model and make part of my project they include
1. Wooden frame work
2. Anchor
3. Anchor rope
4. Bow fender
5. Bilge pump
6. Brass Air duct vents
These have all been done now apart from the bow fender which my wife is knitting as I type
So a final set of pictures to show the maiden voyage, a project that has been a pleasure throughout, it’s a kit that I would recommend to anyone as a first build or for a more experienced modeller to enhance the basic model as they please

    Hi Michael, seeing the launch on the lake was brilliant to look at, it ran extremely well and it certainly appears to move fast.
    Another very nice model.
    Kind regards

    Hi Mike,
    I very nearly missed this.

    Great videos and another fantastic masterpiece.
    The battle with the dashboard finally payed off.
    Your build log was a real pleasure to read.
    Thank you.

    I am already looking forward to your next project.
