Wodney's too shy and bashfull to show his new model drifter in it's build process,........not long to go now and she'll be finished,

and so I sneeked a few shots of the model this morning....it's a cracker!!!

That looks a cracker Neil, well done to 'Wodney'

Was it a kit or scratch built? does look a nice model. Rgards, Tony.

Lovely job Trawlerman

Neil, you shouldn't have opened the bond before taking
the photos. The galley has a distinct list on the first photo

Hi Trawlerman that is a very nice model you will have to get a few herring scales on the deck--all the best--Charlie

Thanks Charlie....will do ROD

To build such a lovely model from just two black and white photos without any plans deserves praise indeed, I'd take my hat off to you Rod, you've done a great job - something I'd be very proud of.

Regards, Tony

Hi Tony...Thanks for the message. After spending years as a fitter in the dying & bleaching trade and mending obsolete machines then you have to adopt a mentality of being able to overcome any problem that arises. Having said that for my next trawler build i have a nice set of plans,..all the best...Rod

Thanks Mick...At 35 inches it will fit in the car easily, unlike the trawlers. Rod.

Hi Eddie Thanks for the comment, It keeps the old grey cells alive having to plan one step ahead....Rod

Neil · « **Reply #15 on:** April 12, 2013, 09:00:36 pm »

Ol' Rodders is very bashful you know............didn't want to be on the photos.......but caught him running, lol..............will post some shots of his finished drifter after my bath, lol

think he needs an 'aircut

Neil · « **Reply #16 on:** April 12, 2013, 10:34:39 pm »

anyway.......now nicely refreshed and smelling even fresher I'll post some pics of his boat because he's too modest too..

believe me when I say this looks better in the flesh than it does on pictures.......AND he built it purely from photos and the meagrest of a very poorly detailed old plan that someone sent him.
both he and the model are just magic.
neil.

Neil · « **Reply #17 on:** April 12, 2013, 10:41:28 pm »

and a few more

Neil · « **Reply #18 on:** April 12, 2013, 10:53:48 pm »

and the final two shots..........one of her starboard side, and the other of his faithful helper, Ally.

mind you I think the dog puts in more work than he does

Rottweiler · « **Reply #19 on:** April 12, 2013, 11:52:37 pm »

brilliant model Wodney! I love the detailing that you would not useually get on models like the fish scoops and deck brush,just great.Even Ally(the dog for those who dont know)looks pleased with it.Distinct lack of fagash though matey,was it a windy day?

Seriously my friend,a really good model.
