Donna Francisca

I completed it this morning by fitting it into the sea.   I have put this in as a new post to give me some idea of the interest (or lack of) in this type of model.

Superb looking model Bob. What’s next on the slipway?

I gather you are going to keep this one Bob, don’t blame you – it does have a special something about it.

Hi Robin & Colin,

Thanks for comments.   The next one may be more in Robin’s line, the Runciman motor tramp GLENMOOR of 1953.      Yes, we are keeping DONNA FRANCISCA.   It grew on us more and more as it progressed.     We like everything about it from the name to the finished product.        Sad though, when it was sold to Germany, they went and renamed it HERBERT!

I look forward to the Glenmoor Tom. Sadly I have to report my Glen Roy had a misshap and the build (re-build!) is suspended for the time being. Hope to do a rebuild later on in the year.
