Shannon, Models by Design 1/12
« on: November 17, 2023, 01:22:59 pm »
Hi All,
on our Ireland holiday I had organized a visit to Wicklow Lifeboat station. Which hosted the last Tyne Class lifeboat and was my favorite for the Tyne and boathouse until I found a solution to build the far longer slipway of Douglas. (see https://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,67839.0.html )
I had a long and fantastic visit at the station, crawled through the shannon and had the idea to build one in 1/20.
After a few days back from Ireland, I joined a few german lifeboat builders for an exhibition/fair (all sizes, all country, not just german liefeboats). One just wrote before "I'll bring a shannon ...".
And so it came (photo 1): 1/12 longer than my boathouse...
Some of you know from facebook, others may guess what happened  %%
Now it's on my workplace in the attic (photo 2) and I'm starting to sale and give away projects I will not finish anymore (a kind of brutal, hard cut to get some space).
I'm happy that I found here at least 2 extrem detaile building reports and also a nice facebook group.Nevertheless, the building will be slow as I have the Tyne + boathouse + slipway and several 1/72 projects still running.
Finally: It all starts with a coffee (photo 3).Best,Joerg

While visiting the Bembridge Lifeboat on the IoW this summer I bought some of their special socks.


They're dark blue with coloured toes, red and green, and labelled 'Port' and 'Starboard' on their ankles.  :-) :-))

On the ankles is usefull, on the toes? You always have to take your shoes off  {-)
And for some people even that wont' help. "The other starboard, love"

And for those that don’t know what sock goes on what foot maybe they should also have left and right on the toes.


Wrong socks on the wrong feet then there’s no hope  for them

When my SO saw the Port and Starboard socks, she grinned and 30 mins later showed up with her RH toenails painted green and the LH ones red!  :-)
