Well it's finally finished and installed in its display frame/storage box.

I hope you've enjoyed the voyage as much as I have

I have since added the clear acrylic making it dust proof but this makes it difficult to photograph ....

 

WIP here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235019376-clyde-puffer/&tab=comments#comment-2683480

 

A big thank you to all who have supported me on the trip.

A special thanks to Bob    @ShipbuilderMN   http://www.miniatureships.blogspot.co.uk/ who was the inspiration behind this voyage.

 

Now I have proved the concept it is my intention to go on and build a series of boats around this scale. This  hopefully will include

Sailing inshore fishing boats, Coastal traders both steam and sail but that's all in the future

Now that is a stunning way of displaying such a beautiful little ship 

 

again and again with all your builds I find that I can always learn from your detailed work and easy explanation of how you do things 

 

Cracking WIP and as normal very funny following your journey. :thumbsup:

Excellent. 👍

 

However, at least one of these photos should have a pen in it so that those who did not follow the build can see how small this is. 🤔 People will think this is at least four or five times bigger than it is.

Well Puffers did rock......and roll :D In the frame it is a wee work of art. Like a 3D painting :thumbsup:

 

A series now that would be superb would that include Fifie, Zulu, Baldie and Sgoth sail powered fishing boats? :whistle:
