Hi Peter T
I was wondering if this ‘challenge’ to build the RRS James Cook model is still open. I would be very keen on building this ship and have considered it for project in the past.
I have considerable model ship building experience having built several large 1.72 scale war ships and sailing ships, I am currently building an icebreaker the RV Lance which would be similar to James Cook in many ways.
For a past project I was challenged to build a model of HMS Caroline, built with shipyard drawings and information provided by the ships crew. It was awarded a national Model Engineers Exhibition and Competition Bronze medal and trophy and with my other models has been exhibited in many shows.
I have a special interest in building the RRS James Cook as I am due to study oceanography at Southampton in 2010. It would be a fantastic challenge
Below is some photos of my past scratch built models…
