Hi Nick

What a great selection of photos and thanks very much for sharing them with us.

What have you built the model out of? (it looks like plasticard but I’m not sure)

I am really looking forward to seeing the completed model and the completed diorama.

Take care

Paul

HI all i’ve been thinking and would like to build another boat for this harbour dio to go with the boat i’m building at the mo but with this one i’d like to depict it damaged and undergoing repairs which means i’ll have to build an interior as well as an engine compartment with a lot of hatches open! what do you think.

Nick.
