Hi LeoVilla,
Just beautiful- that is a truly great model, and i'm so glad when someone with the expertise you have doesn't just shove them into a museum- to see that on the water was quite emotional- have you seen the clip of Anthony Hopkins in K7 in the tv drama 'Lady Of The Lake' (its on youtube) - could have been your model!!!
If you ever fancy a free trip on Gondola just bring that down, you'll be made more than welcome!!!
You should model the Albatross that Donald used as a tender to K7- if you do fancy modelling it let me know, i'm currently modelling a steam launch (see 'intro new member' thread in the steam section on this forum) for the current owner of said Albatross- a lovely boat in itself (all aluminium monocoque with (I think!) marinised Coventry Climax engine, still good for 40mph) but even better for being painted in Bluebird's colours!!!
