i refer to the model of HMS Endurance as recently published
my son is a currently serving aboard her as a Warrant officer 1
during his time aboard he has taken hundreds of Photo’s of the ship with a view to building his own version of Endurance
would you be kind enough to pass on my e mail address to the builder with a request that he contact me with a view to sharing information
i know that the data protection act prevents you from giving me his details
kind regards

Been triing to get some information from my dad on the type of boat that he wants to build. I hope that you can help me out some. He is looking for, I guess they are called Frigid boats that are 2 decks high, they are in the early 1700’s to the late 1800’s . The earlier the better he say’s if that is possible. He lives in Illinois and i’m in California, he doesn’t have a computor to do this himself . Iwould apprciate if you could help me out if possibe , and how much the kit is if you can get it.

                                    Thanks

Hello Vinnie

Recently the Fat Controller (our friend paul) had a piece printed in the model boat mag about his trent lifeboat are you going to reproduce it on the site?

It does make great reading especially when he smashes it againt the wall, I wish I had been there to see that, the air must have been blue, it will also give me the chance to cheer him up by taking the rise out of him again.

Cheers

Sam
