mcdonnell Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 Hello,Friends - This model is my very first maritime build.( You experts will readily notice that!). I chose 'TORBAY' as a reminder of lovely family holidays in that part of Devon.I thoroughly enjoyed this build as a change of subject for me.I hope you enjoy viewing.All the best,Paul. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 I wouldn't worry about what the experts think. If you enjoyed the build and it brought back memories then that's what counts. It's a bit overcast here on Dartmoor at the moment. Bit of a contrast to yesterday 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martian Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I just took another look at you build and you have persuaded me that I need to have a stab at this kit myself. I think t would make a good holiday build, I always take a kit away with me when we go away for any length of time. Anyway Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fun little kit. Hello,Martin and Canadian Pirate - My thanks and appreciation to you both for your most kind and appreciated replies.As I mentioned in my other reply I found it a very straight forward and enjoyable spot of 'Diversion Fettling' and can recommend the kit wholeheartedly.All the best to you both,Paul.

Maybe a 1/200 Thumpeter Bismark or something as subtle.If I brought that monster home I think Pam would be floating me off in it!?! All the very best,Paul.
