Model Slipway Tamar

As I am retired I was looking to find something to keep my hands and mind occupied So I purchased this model and it was built over the winter period. Still one or two small things to add as yet but slowly getting there.



First kit I have ever built.

Here's a shot before it had got is bottom wet, and still some more bits to go on.. The rails and stanchions were changed from the kit and are made from 3mm brass rod ( soldering is not my best activity ) and fixed through the deck for added strength, as I found that made as per kit they tended to be a little flimsy.

Mat,

A beauty. What size is she as she dwarfs that lounge!!

Its 1/16 scale at 1000mm length and 320mm beam. I think the wide angle lens I used has distorted the size to the room. Thanks for your comment.

Mat

Another photo at a different angle, with a partly finished Y-Boat.

Thank you scalloway41 and TonyW

I have just realized there is a big mistake with the model The cabin roof letters and numbers are on the wrong way.

Mat

neither will i, and only the anoraks will mention it....have a satirical reply ready for when one does, lol

Thanks Tony and Neil.

Mat

Thats what you get for rushing things.

That's what I get for being honest.
