Thanks Dave,

Once you get your eye in the small detail gets easier. Of course there is also a skill in deciding where to stop. I still need to perfect the moulding and casting though.

Hi Ali
love the collection of NSF ferries very nice.You Sprit of Britian is looking very good.
Here is a few photos of my fleet so far. There is still the ferries I brought off you to add once I have painted them. I have another USSR icebreaker on the way.
Finnjet needs rebuilding ,two superfast will get repainted in to Brittany ferrys Cap Finistere and Stena superfast. The sprit and Fantaisia were brought in a poor sate and require some TLC. The Silja ferry just daws ever other ferrie in beam and height.

Hi John,

Nice model, There's one on Ebay at the moment. It's a bit broken and currently at £40. It looks to be a different make than your's.

Hi Ali thanks for that
It is a diffrent make,that one is resin and mine is metal. I was watching it but it went to high I paid £37 for a minter and that went for £64 with a broken mast. There seam to be X2 people on ebay at the moment that will pay way over the odds for these models as most ferries are going way over book value.

Good for me then!

cos918 · « **Reply #236 on:** September 30, 2012, 02:05:37 pm »

Hi Ali
your ferries are diffrent as they are one offs or very limited.
These other ferries are from normal production runs and are not rare so they should not go for such high money but saying that the MS STENA SCANDINAVICA from Conrad is at £202 with over 3 days to go, crazy money but then some people will pay over the odds. Me I am watching and seeing what boats go for.

Hi John,

Thanks for the CD. I haven't had a look at it yet but I'm sure it'll be massively useful. The Swedish looks interesting, I might even join.

Ali.

Hi Ali
did you ever join that swedish forum?

John

Probably not.

Could you possibly post them again ?

I was so impressed with a Carat model I received yesterday that I thought I'd have a go at adding railings.

I'm not sure I like it...It looks more like a picket fence than metal railings but it was worth a try.

Ali

cos918 · « **Reply #242 on:** October 29, 2012, 04:42:33 pm »

Hi Ali
Carat model are a class in there own with there own price tag and so easy to break. I do think the railings make a world of difference. Conrad models are good but would be so much better with railings. Were did you get the railings from ?

Nice model of Brittany Ferries Pont Aven there, we have travelled on her a good few times. I just wish there was a model of Bretagne as well, we are on our umpteenth crossing on her next month.

Hi Colin
I went on Pont Aven a few months ago. It was my first time using Brittany ferries and I was very impressed by there standerds and got a 40 min bridge vist. I have Superfast V waiting to get repainted in to Cap Finistere. Getting the model of the Pont Aven was a mission but woth it. Hope you have a nice crossing on Bretagne

john

Colin Bishop · « **Reply #247 on:** October 29, 2012, 06:43:23 pm »

John,
You were lucky to get the bridge visit. Our trip next month is our usual 24 hour Portsmouth to St Malo which gives us all day in St Malo to drive along the coast and stock up with wine for Christmas. We usually have a nice meal in St Malo as well!

Hi all,
The shelves in my new work room are filling up with the next batch of orders. Three models are will be going to a private collector who is a big fan of the Spirit class ships. Five more are going to Galerie Maritim in Hamburg, a big dealer in Germany.
Just as will really as my latest acquisitions aren't cheap.

Ali.
