A fascinating animation of how they intend to decommission a North Sea Oil Platform by lifting off the accommodation block and carrying it away on a specially designed heavy lift ship.

Hello Colin

You are right about this making a superb model especially as there is the option to build both the ship and the rig.

So when are you starting this mammoth model, what size will it be and will it be fully working?

But I would also need huge amounts of hardboard Ashley!

Anyway, I just suggest the ideas, it's up to you lot to put them into practice!

Aren't you supposed to lead by example?

Sorry, a bit of a boring subject for me. A tug and a bunch of Meccano (yawn)
