Hi Everyone,
Just thought you might like to see the progress I'm making on my build of the Mersey Docks & Harbour Company Salvage and Buoyage vessel "Vigilant"
I started on her about twelve months ago. She is at 1/48 scale and is plank on frame. Unfortunately the eary photos are missing due to a complete computer crash some time ago, and stupidly I didn't back any of them up. OK Lesson learned!
The builders plans were obtained through a friend of a friend in Liverpool, I think he was involved in the scrapping of her many years ago.
A photo of the ship can be seen here :-
http://www.photoship.co.uk/JAlbum%20Ships/Old%20Ships%20V/slides/Vigilant-07.htmlProgress is quite slow, but thats purely down to me, I hope to have her on the water some time next year.
Not looking forward to doing all the rigging on the heavy lift derricks!!
Anyway, comments (good or bad) as long as they're constructive would be welcome.
Appologies, but I think the photos are completely out of sequence, but I think you'll be able to sort them out!
Peter
