Hi guys. as its a Bundesmarine ship if you Google schütze Minensuchboot (http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&tbo=d&rlz=1T4GGHP_en-GBGB453GB454&spell=1&q=sch%C3%BCtze+Minensuchboot&sa=X&ei=XXi0UKakJe-k0AWzmYHoAg&ved=0CC4QvwUoAA) or the link may be live to click on.

Good talking to you today Stan :-) Love the build, can't wait for further updates :-))
-
Great work Stan, I see what you mean about numbering the stern, nightmare job.
that detail work on the winches and paravanes ( do the Germans call them paravanes ? )
is superb.
Regards
Richard :-))
-
A few more pics of Stan the mans build. Getting quite good at this modelling I think! {-) {-)
Keep 'em coming Stan - brilliant, regards, Tony. :-))
-
By the way Stan' it helps if you post pics in forward rather than backward chronological order, i.e. first pic first, last pic last - if you get my drift - just a hint, :kiss: honest!! {-) {-) {-)
-
Thanks TT1. Just found these pictures on my camera. This group of pictures show the work involved to mask off the wood deck prior to painting the hull. This operation had to be done 3 times. First time etch all brass parts then primer then top coat.Also pictures show masking removed on rear section of deck no problems with paint on the wood deck. I hope to do some more on this project but at the moment time is taken up with X mas shoping and other things. Thank you all for comments on this project.
Stan. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Excellent detail work Stan. Enthralling :-))
-
HI First of all update on the Schutze build. Badges for the bow have been cut out of plastic card and painted.Decals have been made. Dark green line painted on to the hull above anti fouling red pictures to follow if time allows before Christmas.
Merry Christmas to all on Mayhem.
Stan. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Think you need to do a masterclass for next one Stan with plenty of tips :-)) :-))
Coastie
-
Pictures of the small winch painted and just about complete.
-
Other pictures
-
Last one. Sorry for last 3 been all the same. Still learning on posting pics.
Not any more :}
Stan
-
Finally got the pennant number on the stern. I went to my local vehicle sign company they made them and cut them out for me. All I had to do was stick them on. Sounds easy I do not think so.
Stan
-
Work of art Stan
:-)) great detail :-))
Jason
-
Quality! :-))
-
Hello Stan,
Very, very Good work !.
How do you find the Time to do such fantastic detailing?.
John. :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Your usual high standards Stan!
I agree with an earlier comment that you ought to start a masterclass ;)
-
this boat is getting better an better by the day i can not wait to see it finished
-
Hi Some more pictures of the winches both are now painted and varnished. next job is to fit cable drums.
-
:-))
-
Master class Stan????????? :}
-
I don't like seeing such builds as it makes my own models look so mediocre. Absolute beauty, this one!
-
>>:-( Don't sell yourself short VC, if YOU are getting enjoyment out of your build that's all that matters.
Regards Ian
-
Really nice work Stan - colour me green O0
Makes me want to find a winch plan and have a go just for the sake of it.
Dave
-
Circlip is right. If you enjoy building the model and it looks right that's all that matters.
Stan. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
I took your advice Stan and looked at your models, taking my time and savouring the pics. Outstanding model making, just breathtaking detail. Enjoyed, very much.
Si:)
-
Hi everyone I have not done much over the last month due the cold weather and other jobs that need doing. I have just completed the turret ring for the 40mm bofor on the bow. It is made from brass tube and strip brass next step clean and paint.
Stan
-
:-))
-
Stan, good to talk with you today,and see,I have come to have a look at your build.That is some superb work you are doing matey,I will now follow the progress with great interest!
Mick F
-
Lovely work Stan, thank you for the phone call and the talk, much appriciate it.
Si:)
-
coming along very nicely mate. keep the pics coming and thanks again for the advise you've given me on my build. :-))
-
Got to admire your attention for detail Stan.
The quality of your work is as good as the best professional builds that are in museums.
Regards
Richard :-))
-
Picture of the turret ring now painted with etch primer.Next step paint with Halfords grey primer then final colour.
Stan

Sorry guys not the best picture. One more this time the gunnery control station not complete yet.I have been asked about the deck planking on this model eack plank is 3mm wide and 0.5 thick. The gap between eack plank is a razor blade thickness only. Deluxe R/C Modellers glue was used to stick the planks down.
Stan
-
Cheers Stan :-)) still in awe of your skills and the quality of the detail you produce. Can you post a pic of the ship you displayed at Mobile Marines open day? I think you displayed it at Ellesmere also - the one with that beautiful weathering? I really think that needs another airing - Gambia Bay is a cracker but the one I've just mentioned deserves a pic or two. ;) Getting quite good at this modelling aren't you! {-) {-) {-)
Regards, me.
-
HI Me . Check out Stan liberty ship. Look in Warships and military I think this is the one you mean.
Stan
-
A few photos of Stan's platicard work prior to paint - some nice detailing.
-
Amazing :-)) :-))
Ned
-
HI TT1 thanks for putting the last set of pictures on Mayhem. Should have a new P/C next week all been well. This one is very sick just about ready for the scrap heap . More info on the pictures. These were taken to show what plastic card can be used for in model building from a basic item to a detailed winch etc. Hope you enjoy.
Stan Reffin
Kirklees Model Boat Club. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
a man of great talent! there are few that could better that detailing.
Well done Stan.
Mick F

Hull work is just about complete. Hull is been varnished at the moment picture to follow.Model will be on display at Harrogate next week.
Stan
-
Couple of pictures Stan asked me to upload showing the model suspended.
-
Many thanks Si. I should have new p/c on Sunday with all mod cons fitted. Over the years my models have got bigger. This gave me a real problem with painting and applying the varnish top coat. The solution was very simple. I suspend the model from the beams in the garage using a suitable material to carry the weight of the model being worked on.
Stan
-
Hi guys. Sorry for not keeping you up to date on the build. Not much done over the last month busy with other things. I have managed to wire 50% of lights on the model when time allows will post some pictures. All the best for now.
Stan. :-)) :-)) :-))
-
HI Guys sorry no updates for such a long time. Club events, fitting kitchens have all got in the way. Hope to make start again at the end of this month.
. :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((
Stan

Hi Guys jobs all done now. Hoping to make start on this project again after the Blackpool show. More information to follow.
Stan

Other jobs completed Stan?........thank goodness %) ....now we look forward to more detailed unbelievably crisp building detail.......
I particularly like the deck level circular Bofor mounting cage from brass tube & strip ........very nice..... :-)) ....Derek
-
Come on Stan your fans are waiting %)

had key hole surgery
I hope the Surgeon is as good with the fiddly bits as you are Stan :}
-
Hello Stan,
Get better, do as you are told !!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
John.
-
Good to see you posting again buddy,
Now do as your told and get better quickly O0
Cheers Kev
-
I am having problems posting pictures any one else having problems?
-
Nothings been reported Stan.
It does happen to me sometimes, whenever I decide to put up a picture. More annoying after I've typed a message first. My trick is to post a couple of Full stops and the picture.
If this works, then I have 20 minutes to 'Modify' the post, which give me the opportunity to add the message.
Hope this helps
Ken

Hi guys still sore but I have managed to do some building today. I have taken some pictures of the bank of resistors that control the bulkhead lights navigation lights and masthead lights. Power supply is from a 7.2 volt pack feeding via an Action quad switch .I have used soft yellow LED for all white light these give a very nice yellow light ideal for the time period of my model. I have tried to post all these picture in one post but for some reason it will not hope you enjoy
Stan.
-
More pictures showing led working.....
-
Last shots showing further details added on the stern. bench seat under small winch. I have pictures of this plus red chains fitted on rear roller block. And finally last look out platform being built using brass rod.....
-
HI all managed to do some more work this afternoon. Now making life canister supports from brass strip very time consuming.
Stan. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Stan is this a kit or a scratch build form a plan, its a very impressive model and the detail is fantastic
Regards
Vic
-
Looking good mate . . . . as always :-))

Of Detailing ...
It has been said that when Stan has a boiled egg at breakfast, his little bread soldiers are in full dress uniform and all to scale. :P

HI HMS HOOD. The model is a kit but around 80% has been scrapped and rebuilt using plastic card sheet brass section profiles. Deck was planked using 3mm wide by 0.5 thick timber strips. I have no plans at all only pictures to work from. Check out all pages for more information hope this helps.
Stan. {:-{ {:-{ {:-{ :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
I can just imagine how difficult that was,to get them firmly into all those groves,and still keeping them level! Another good job well done,Looking great Stan.
Mick F

HI Guys just a quick picture showing how I have made the life raft canister supports. I have no fancy jig to make these only a good selection of pliers fret cutters and a soldering iron. I use a block of balsa wood for pinning down my brass parts prior to soldering. Drawing pins are used to hold down the parts on the wood block cheap but very easy to use. Most of the brass work on my model has been built using this method.
Stan Reffin. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Just a few general shots. I am hoping to do some more work on this before The spring show at Ellesmere Port.

Hi guys I am pleased to say I am now working on the Schutze again. Just a few pictures showing extra bracing fitted to front section of the cabin to give strength to the angled corners. And a couple of shots showing centre section in grey primer. :(( :(( :(( :((now :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
Stan
-
I have now set my self a challenge building the detail in the wheel house. I have very little to work from a few poor pictures showing only part of the interior. So far cabin floor and bulkheads with some future control panels fitted more to follow.

I have now set my self a challenge building the detail in the wheel house. I have very little to work from a few poor pictures showing only part of the interior.
Hey Stan, I have the original preserved Schutze moored up in my back garden, do you want me to pop out and take photos?!!! %)
-
Must be good Quality Ha Ha.
Stan.

Done little work on the bridge area still lots to do.
Stan
-
HI Still working on the bridge area progress is slow. I found a great U tube video showing all the detail in the wheel house. Hope the pictures are alright.

Outstanding work Stan, well would it me anything else? Love your attention to detail and your skills.
Si:)
-
The detail is coming together . . .looking good !!
-
HI Guys I am still working on the centre section. Some pictures to show the progress on this section.
-
More pictures .Details on the Funnel and ladder from bridge to wheel house. Ladder is made from plastic strip. Also picture looking in to wheel house. I expect the centre section to take about 3/4 weeks to complete.
-
Wonderful work Stan. :-))

Hi Stan,
Good to see your labour of love continuing to your usual high standard

Just found this thread of your build Stan. What a brilliant job, so neat, clean, tidy and precise. I think I do a good job until I take a pictures that seems to show up all the flaws. :-)) Graham
-
Hi Everyone I have not much over the last five weeks due club events and Haydock boat convention. Bridge section is well on the way to been complete. Today I finished painting the two steps down from the wheel house to the deck level just a few more bits to make and fit then it will be complete.

After a long break from this model due to repairing others I hope to have this model ready for the Model Show at Harrogate in May. There is still lot to do to complete this model fine detailing lots of work on the mast wiring for the lights and painting etc. I will post more pictures during the next lot of work on this model.
Stan. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Astounding work Stan. I have looked through all of this topic and have been amazed by the level or attention most if not all parts have received during the build.
You join the gang of people whose work I am observing for inspiration on Mayhem.
-
Hi Guys I have started work on this model again along with U S S Whitehall. I have posted some shots of the bridge area showing cable runs which will of course be grey when the model is painted. Also the look out posts now fitted with timber slats. More to follow.
Stan.
-
Coming along fine Stan. The deck looks very spacious.
-
Just a few shots to show how the bridge looks when the model is finished.

Loving this Stan. Are you and radiojoe related? :-))
-
Short answer NO. More to follow later this week.
Stan.
-
When my detailing gets as good as Stan's I'll be very happy. O0 :-))
-
Short answer NO.
Stan.
... not that Stan knows off !!! %)
-
The smile in your avatar piccy suggests you are very nearly there then!
-
HI managed to do little more today fitted some cleats for the rigging from the mast still more to of these to finish. Also just a few pictures of what will make the model tick.
Stan
-
Looking really superb Stan. Great job :-))
-
What are the green fittings wired into the loom? Are they fuse holders??
She's coming on a treat.
-
HJI ballastanksian. Simple answer yes. One for each motor if you check out Action electronics web site you will see the make a single version or a double version. More pictures to follow of the build.
Stan. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Thanks for that Stan. A fellow Yeovil member puts fuses on his batteries and more here and there in his loom. Definitly a wise idea to save the magic grey smoke occuring!
-
HI everyone again not much done on this build due to other things. At the moment I am waiting for some small radar drive units to fit into the mast. Pictures to follow when I have this complete and working.
Stan.
-
HI Guys after much head scratching I have managed to get the radar working. The first few pictures show the small gear box enclosed in in thin plastic card with the motor showing. Radar scanner just clicks in to the unit more pictures to follow showing unit fixed on the mast.
Stan
-
Neat and compact Stan.
-
Beautiful work Stan!
-
hi guys no posts or pictures for 7 days busy decorating. Same goes for the Whitehall post.
Stan. :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((
-
Hope to start posting again by the week end. Decorating done pictures to follow of the minesweeper and Whitehall.
Last week :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((now :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
Stan.
-
Just a few pictures showing motor for radar unit fitted on the mast. Unit runs at 1.5 volts giving a nice rotation speed. have a video of this but not sure how to get on this post.
Stan.
-
Sorry Stan, but the forum won't allow moving pictures.
Have you considered a youtube film ok2
ken
-
Get yerself on Youtube Stan:O)
It looks really good and fits in well with the rest of the mast structure.
-
HI Guys I have been asked by tug Kenny to take some pictures of the radar drive unit fitted on the mast of Schultz. The unit is very compact see pictures above showing unit fitted to mast. I have also included a sketch showing more details of the unit. Under the final drive you will see a small screw this must not be glued over if you do then the unit will not work. P/m if you need further information.
Stan.
-
Thanks Stan,
That explains it very well. Much appreciated for the efforts you have put in. I think most of us have required a radar unit at one time or other. No questions this time. ok2 all explained nicely.
Cheers
ken
-
Taa Stan, All that in such a small area!
-
Hi everyone the mast for Schultz is just about completed now ready for its varnish finish. My model will be on show at the Harrogate Model Show next week. If you are visiting please come along to the Kirklees Stand.
Stan Reffin
Kirklees Model Boat Club. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
That was a labour of love Stan! I am looking forward to my first attempt at a mast. Brass ahoy!
-
Hi Ian just managed to post some shots before the Harrogate weekend. First one showing life raft canister supports all done now what job. The mast is now varnished and lamp covers will be varnished with a gloss finish tomorrow that will ne this part complete. And one final shot looking forward.

It is ever so smooth. Thanks for sharing the footage Tim.
-
Busy now fitting out floors and walls in centre section hopefully should be painting this section late next week. One picture showing overhaul appearance of this model. Next pictures will be of model finally finished.
Stan.
-
What can I say Stan? Amazing, pure class, well worth all of the effort. Fantastic build, I love it :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Another gorgeous build Stan. What with Joe's Coventry, Bob's Poly, KP's Guilt masterpieces and many others, we are enjoying a period of brill modelling on here.
-
Hi Guys Centre section now in paint shop ready for the grey primer more to follow.
Stan. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Hi Paint job on the cabin section is now complete. Now adding all the final details still a lot to do just a few pictures showing cabin with pennant number fitted and ships letters stuck on cocktail sticks to allow painting.
Stan. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Looking good Stan!
-
https://youtu.be/q2rS-UST-ZQ - Stan's Awesome Schultz!
-
Pretty amazing, excellent video quality as well. I love it :-))
-
Crikey, there are no bland spots on that masterpiece Stan! Really lovely work.
-
Hi everyone update from the builders garage. With the hot weather club events not a lot of progress. I have had replace the green mast headlights with better l e d so we are back a few steps now but I hope to have it all complete for Haydock.
Stan. :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((Next month. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Noooooo!
-
HI Guys further to my last post I have had to rewire all of mast lights and radar motor.The cables were damaged during work on the green lights. At the moment re painting the mast. I have enclosed a picture showing the bridge detail.
Stan.
-
Wiring for the mast lights and others finally re done. Enclosed picture showing wiring and resistors.
Stan
-
wow,... Great work on the decal, and the deck details also.
Are those barnacles and muscles on the those anchors or floats? :o
:-))
-
HI Umi no I understand they are concrete weights.
Stan.
-
HI every one in the last part of the build glazing and rigging both proving hard but I hope to have the model complete by the end of this month.
Stan.
-
Hi in my last post I did say the glazing would be a problem, well see the following pictures. To glaze the front I had to clamp the bridge unit to my work bench and secure the top of the bridge with twine which is secured to a screw in the garage joists. You may think this is over the top but doing it this way I can see just how to position the glazing and the glue stays put no runs.
Stan.
-
Lateral thinking outside the box. Good sideways thinking, or in your case 'vertical thinking' :}
Cheers
ken
-
HI Guys the final parts of this model are proofing to be a challenge one step forward 10 back but I will sort it out hopefully before the Haydock show.
Stan. :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((at the moment.
-
Keep at it Stan, we can all see it is well worth all of your efforts :-)) :-)) :-))
-
Amen to that Stan, I look forward to its imminent completion, but don't let her moulder on the shelf, have lots of lake side fun with her and all your creations:O)
-
HI everyone I have been asked to post some pictures on how I have made some coiled ropes. I cut a piece of round plastic tube and glued it to a sheet of plastic card. When its dry drill a small hole in the bottom of the tube this will allow the rope to be fitted in to it and hold it secure.
One. Soak the rope in p v a thinned with water.
Two Place the end of the rope in the drilled hole in the base of the tube.
Three Wind the rope around the former using two cocktail sticks. Use the sticks to guide the rope and roll the rope to keep it flat leave to dry overnight. Remove next morning clean up and glue into place or paint if needed.
Stan.
-
Very effective.
Well done that man. :-))
ken
-
Clever Mr Stan:O)
-
Only a small amount of work now needed to finish this model. But due to other things I will not be doing any building for at least 1 month but I will be back.
Stan. :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((
-
We'll be waiting for your return. Triumphant with rose petals and palm fronds etc etc etc :-))
-
Hi Guys I was given a disc today taken at our naval day way back in September. On the this I found some good close up shots of my minesweeper and some of my other warship models enjoy more to follow. Pictures by kind permission of D Roberts
Stan
-
Such lifelike crisp detail Stan :-))...although a 'Maschinen mann' will be in trouble when he is found to have entered the engine space without his RED earmuffs :embarrassed: ..... Derek
-
Fabulous detail Stan, I love the open doors and hatches, I'll have to remember that one. :-))
-
Just a few more pictures. Sorry about the shoes.
stan
-
Well, I was going to comment, but as they are quite clean, I think I can turn a blind eye ok2
Lovely lovely work Stan. The razzledazzle scheme on your destroyer is fab.
-
Will she be at Warwick Stan?
-
HI Martin Sadly No :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((. She is away at the moment other projects to finish should be back building by the end of the month. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
-
D I Y work is coming to the end hope to complete this model before Christmas. Final pictures of this long build to follow.
Stan.
-
Excellent work :-)) puts mine to shame {:-{ Love the detail. Keep up the good work :-))
-
Nice pic of the boat Stan in this month's model boats :-))
-
While watching T/V last night during the BBC program Cuffs filmed around Brighton they had a aerial shot of boats. And to my surprise M 1096 Fische came into shot. M 1096 is a house boat now a sad end to such good looking vessels. The Schutze M1062 from the last pictures I saw was just left in a dock part submerged.
Stan. :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((
-
More a palace boat given she dwarfs everything sles around her!
That would be an impressive dwelling especially if she was still seaworthy.
-
HI guys what now seems like a lifetime the model hopefully is very near completion. The new stand is made and varnished. Crew figures are in place but the final piece to fit is the spray deflector I am trying double sided tape to fit this piece. Picture shows tape fitted ready for the screen. The white backing tape will be removed to reveal a clear tape so wish me luck.
Stan.
-
Hi Stan
Your build and thread has been a cornucopia of delight, skill, and info O0 really enjoyed it all. However it has taken so long that as your build looked better l aged badly. You could easily rename it The Dorian Gray.
Dave
-
Is the tape a special type or a good standard type that will resist water? Interesting idea.
-
After several attempts yesterday I finally gave up closed the garage door. Today I have ordered hopefully some better tape which should be with me on Friday. If it is not to cold I will try again wish me luck.
Stan. :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((now :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))Friday I hope
-
HI Ian after numerous attempts and lots of flipping heck or words to that effect. :(( :(( :(( :(( the item is in place. I used double side tape plus Superglue. Surplus material now trimmed of the frame. Next job mask off and paint the framework pictures to follow. Nearly at the end of this post now. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))
Stan
-
Keep up the good work and you will soon be sailing her at Kirklees :-)) O0
-
After many hours of toil and distress and some sleepless nights I think I have finally got the thing to stick. If all goes well next week will mask of the frame and paint.
Stan
-
What a horrible shape to have to make in any material {:-{ I salute your strength of sanity and will to persevere without getting too >>:-( or ending up <*< this to the model.
I will be pleased for you Stan when you complete her and get sailing.
-
Well after many years of construction the model is all but complete. The front spray deflector is now complete after many attempts. I just need to gloss varnish the screen to remove some marks and fit a scramble net. In have enclosed some final pictures showing the model on its final stand also the dreaded front screen and the bridge detail. I would like to thank you all for comment's during this build. If you are going to Ellesmere in March the model will be on display final pictures later of the model sailing.
Stan. :(( :(( :(( :(( :(( :((now it is complete.
-
last few pictures of this model but I will be back with something else. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))

Thanks for sharing your work with us Stan. That screen is a torture for all modelmakers. Does it even work as intended in real life? Looks like it would distort the skippers view more than the spray.
Excellent presentaion of the model, can't wait to see what you have lined up next though you did hint at something.
-
Superb Stan. The pictures do her justice.
Well done.
Ken
-
Just colour me green Stan O0
Top notch work and I look forward to seeing you at the Ellesmere Port show.

HI everyone I am pleased to say I have now started a new model all will be revealed later. The Schutze build just needs some fine tuning ready for Ellesmere next week end. Most of you will seen external detail but I have taken a few shots to show what makes it tick.

Crikey Stan, I hope you know what it all does! It looks quite tidy.
-
HI Yes I do now what all the wires and boxes do. Sometimes I wonder if I was an electrician in my past life. Its all very simple really.

Actually, I have found the boxes and boards quite nice to wire up.
-
Its all very simple really.
Maybe to you Stan but to me it needs a long explanation. It does look ever so neat though - I hate the spaghetti type wiring often seen.

-
The boards and bits that Action sell are very well annotated and come with instructions so us luddites 'Ooh, it isn't made of wood {:-{ ' can quite easily wire it together.
Sit down with a cuppa and place all the units in a layout roughly translating to how they will fit into the hull and read any literiture that came with the stuff.

Just two pictures showing lighting fitted to my model sorry about picture quality.

That splash guard never ceases to amaze me! What a horrible shape. Lovely work Stan :-))

HI everyone I have not left been doing other things. I have now made the scrambling net and fitted to the model it certainly looks a strange arrangement. These pictures will be the last of this model. It has taken many years to rebuild this model and finally end up with model that looks like its full size counterpart. I would like to thank you all once again for your comments on this build. I hope I have inspired kit builders to see what can be done to transform some kit models. My next model is now under construction more to follow.
Thanks to all. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))

Lovely work Stan- its a credit to you as a model builder. I've watched your build from very near the beginning and having seen the model for real at Doncaster I am very impressed with your patience. Well done mate. :-))
-
Amen Stan, she has turned out a beauty.
-
The model is now awaiting sea trials hope to post some pictures in the near future. I will need to be at our home water early on a Sunday morning more to follow.
Stan.

Last week I was asked to take my model to lakeside for one of our members to take some pictures of my model using a good camera .If you are attending the model show this weekend at Doncaster I hope to have the model on our club stand. Pictures by kind permission of Mr Simpson.

HI I have just found these pictures today. Its a sad end to what I think was a good looking ship but she managed 30 years service so not a bad record really.
-
Well after numerous years of rebuilding I am pleased to say the model took first place in kit class at the Model Boat Convention. Picture to follow showing a very nice cut glass award.
Stan. :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) :-))

I think I saw this at the open day at Bridlington model boat society. I have one of these which i have yet to build, suffice to say it will not be to this standard

Well done Stan , ok2 ok2 ok2 ok2 ok2 ok2

Hi all final pictures of 1062 showing the model with the rose bowl trophy for kit class model during my visit to the Model Boat Convention. Once again many thanks to you all for your comments over the years it makes it all worth while and taking the kit class was the icing on the cake. Sadly no more warships for a while building a fishing boat. See working vessels.
