Is that a waterline FEII or the Airfix kit?

I have two of those kits - one partly made, the other completely mint. Plan is to take profiles of the hull to scale up for a future r/c kit.......but there are many others first

.

Looking forward to seeing the new arrivals....

I was watching the FEII and St Columba but I spent my months quota on a Klabautermann Pride of Kent.

As for the 'Ostend Spirit' well at least it will give me an extra livery option. I can only assume they ran out of time before they could apply the funnel logo and the 'erries' (not a typo).

Boy, am I glad I am not competing with you two over these waterline models!!!!!!

I would be broke!!

I do enjoy seeing them - and would love to see them in the flesh one day - but I will stick to buying those from Ali that interest me...

Carl I will not pay silly money for them execpt the odd few ferries so far that is 3 boat. There is some guy in Germany who is in Dream land with his prices but that up to him.

I can't keep up with John, I fear he may have to check into the Betty Ford clinic soon. I literally have to make the money I spend on these models.

Thanks Carl,

I'm looking forward to starting the build of the master. I've been putting it off while I complete a major order for a German dealer but once I have the plans I'll get started.

Got a nice box from Germany today with x4 ferries in there
1 Finnflow freight devision of Finnlines finncarrier who sailed the same route as Finnjet
2 Free Enterprise II being dwafed by the Pride of Hull ( shame fully still waiting for painting )
3 Tor Lines Tor Scandinavia . bit let by the quality when she is next to a classic ship version.
4 St Columba of BR Sealink. She was the work horse of the irish sea. The bule on her is wrong so might get a repaint one day and the BR double arrows are need on the funnel.

Here is my lastest ferry Chartres of SNCF Sealink next to the St Coloumba. Chartres is made from resin and has very sharp detail. The problem with both of these ferries is the blue is wrong. They will be repainted in BR blue from Howes model shop Rail match range. I am please with the fake sea.

John

Hi John
Yes the fake sea adds a lot to the scene.

Hi Ali
I do like your link spans they do look the part. The new Pride of Kent looks great as does the other x3 ferries.

nice fantasia model you have their john.
this 166cm 1:100 scale model out of the sealink boardroom sold a few months ago for just a couple of hundred pounds, i rang the auction room a little to late

i was kicking myself.

cos918 · « **Reply #298 on:** February 16, 2013, 09:52:55 pm »

WHAT only a few hunderd . How i wish I was there would have offered doubel. Some very very lucky persion got the sale of the century. It is a very nice model.

John

waxy · « **Reply #299 on:** February 16, 2013, 10:09:23 pm »

it had some minor damage such as part of the bow door at the top had snapped off(see along the yellow line at the front) but easily fixed. it had a reserve of £200 but only got £120 top bid so the top bidder did a deal after the auction.
it was sold by charles miller ltd auction house on 31 october 2012 if you want to see the full write up on it.
i cant beleive it didnt fetch a 4 figure sum
