Post by: Haddock on February 26, 2023, 12:12:05 PM

Got this a few years ago during the club's first visit to the Bolton show(half price).
Started at the Jan playday, this is progress so far.
It's going back in the box for a while to finish another project.

Sadly, they prevented the loss of life due to sharks

Bit more stuff added. Trumpeter doesn't supply any railings so getting generic stuff to look right can be a bit problematic,
looks OK if you don't look to closely.
Hopefully, the pictures speak for themselves.

It is with great sadness that I have to tell you that the Brookland Road Shipyard is no longer producing models.
Tony passed away on Monday - see post elsewhere.
