Title: R.N.L.B.Mary Joicey
Post by: ON984 on April 23, 2011, 06:37:29 pm

Inspired by the return of the RNLB Mary Joicey lifeboat to my village of Newbiggin by the sea and Mike's Oakley on this  forum I decided to have a go at my first scratch build. Making a plug then fibre glass mould took the best part of a year but two and a half years later the model is nearing completion. Here are a few pictures

Please do not use blue as your font colour, it is used by the forum moderating team

Thanks

Brian
