beefy66 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Just had a look and that looks very good, nicely finished into a proper working trawler and great dynamic sea scene. Reminds me of days gone by visiting the big Ross trawlers on Grimsby Fish Docks open days that used to be a top annual event: this usually included a tour of various trawlers including to see the large marine diesels chugging away, watching fish filleting demonstrations, a tour of the visiting R.N. Fisheries Protection vessel (usually a 'Ton' class minesweeper), watching the local Sea Cadets parade, a look round the various maritime trade stands, and cheering on the dockers v lumpers whale boat rowing race across the main dock - great days! Thanks Rob glad it has brought back some good memories for you. Hope I will be able to get some info from you in the future as I have just got the Atlantic Models Ton class sweeper kit looks very nice with some great details and this will be my first venture into the realms of resin so hope I can do it some justice.

moaning dolphin Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Very nice build, and that sea scape tops it off nicely, so much so I can feel my weak stomach gurgling! Well done and thanks for showing Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Absolutely outstanding Beefy, great ship build topped off with a stunning sea scape not quite as rough a sea as there was down at Seaham today mind! That'll be another bit of Horden beach washed away then. Apparently sand is beginning to appear after many years so I'm reliably informed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Fleming Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Lovely, strangely the second model of this kit I've seen today! Having built the 'Russian spy trawler' release in the early 80s, I now have a hankering to do it again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jockster Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Been on the Irish sea and Atlantic enough times to recognise cold water! Very atmospheric mate, lovely build complimented by a very realistic base! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
