Oh Bob! What WERE you thinking of?

Excellent model though.

I have just downloaded Richard Woodman's Fiddlers Green about the decline of the merchant navy to my Kindle. I imagine you are already familiar with it? **LINK**

Someone suggested that a battleboat was too difficult for me! The first one I did was HMS Norfolk, followed quickly be HMS Dreadnought, above. I was very pleased with the way they turned out, but nowehere near as interesting and varied as merchant ships. They are the only two powered warships I have ever built!

I have read Richard Woodman's books, and like them very much, but he is finding the same thing as I am, declining interest. I am fortunate in the fact that an awful lot of maritime collectors actually prefer model merchant ships, the more obscure, the better!
