Townsend Thoresen Free Enterprise V / P&O Pride of Hythe - development of a kit.

Good afternoon all,

Just in case anyone is interested, I thought I would report on the progress with developing this 1:96 kit.

We are now up to the 'cardboard prototype proof of concept' stage where a half sized (1:192) frame model is made to confirm ideas and shape, before progressing to forming a plug for the hull and having the superstructure parts laser cut.

It has taken 2 months of drawing to get to this point and I estimate another month of drawing is left. Then it is on to producing all the moulds for the fittings and getting the etched brass sheets made.

Hope it is of some interest....
Best regards
Carl (soon to be Linkspan Models....)
