Beside the Seaside (1:35 Coble and motorcycle and Caterpillar type tractor)

[zak]

I decided to start a new thread about the Coble.
This may or may not evolve into a diorama as Tony suggested.
A beach scene with a boat, shed and method of hauling the boat out of the water.

The coble was scratch built using old cereal packets, a bit of balsa and a lot of superglue.
On the tractor diorama there was some discussion about the naming of parts, this sort of continues from there.

Diagram showing the names of some of the parts.
Each coble between the Humber and the Tweed has its own particular peculiarities.

Hi Zak,
A nice different model to look forward to.
And something with a topical local flavour.
Looking forward to seeing your creative skills on this one.
Cheers,
Bigkev

Cheers Kevin, I am not sure how this will develop.

Here is the shed, made from thick card and then cereal packet bricks added.

Another great item in the offing, even if you did cobble it together!! Well done.

Hi Zak,
Chris's puns are as bad as mine.
But this is going to be another startling build, I can feel it.
'Bempton's Best' is on the build again.....
Cheers,

Remember it is a COBLE not a cobble.

Progress on the COBLE and the small building.
