Evening All
My thanks to Richard, Manni, Bob, Rick, Andreas, Frank, Terri, Roberto and Bud for leaving those positive comments. I am pleased to be able to report that I have now finished this one, including a base, but I am still not happy with the latter and will take some advice from members of my club on Saturday to see what I can do to improve it. I want to represent the concrete platform at the edge of the slipway and I have real problems representing such surfaces.
To complete the model I added the propellor, windscreen, bollards and bomb release gear on the front and rigged it with 40 SWG rolled copper wire. The base is hardbard attached to a wood frame with standard HO guage rail track. I will post some photos in the completed models section with some historical notes later this evening.





This has been an enjoyable build and I now have a type in my collection that I have wanted for some time.
Thanks for looking.
Stephen.
