SS Ohio tanker build, Pedestal convoy.

Hi people,
My first post on Mayhem. As a member of the Portsmouth Model Boat Display Team I thought our new build would be of interest. A large scale effects model of the Texaco tanker, SS Ohio. This is being built as a simplified model in the style of those great Glynn Guest designs, only its 98" long! Only one piece of plywood cut so far, photos to follow.

Are you going the whole way and modelling it as she came into Malta after the Op Pedestal convoy with a destroyer
tied to each beam to get her safely into harbour - now that would be quite a model.

The other members are supplying the destroyers, I just have to work out how to manouever them into position. Velcro anyone?

Hi everyone.
Day two of the build. The model is designed to break into three for transport. It is also designed with a reduced draught ( by almost 4" ) to reduce its all up weight. Thanks to yesterdays helper monkeys for all their help.
