hi alan and the rest of you bt fans,
watched both these models go for grabs on ebay and hey did you to lads get a bargen.
Ok who i am i, my names Poul and i live in Immingham one of the lagest ports in uk but more to the point i lived in Grimsby and my dad was the danish interpenter for all the snibbys that use to dock there. ( got a model of one of these) I remember my uncle was the skipper of a few trawlers, so fishing is in my blood. so when i decided to get back into model boating what did i want to build. YEPP the bigest trawler i could find. So a big thanks gose to mountfleet models (
www.mountfleetmodels.co.uk/boston-typhoon.htm) for giving us boat builder a great model. iam in the first stages of building the BT. Took me ages to glue down rhe main deck and the well deck, this being i needed to get the water line right with the ballest. .Even brought a great big paddling pool to test the ballest out. now the grandkids love me im no longer grumpy gramps but captain gramps. love all the photos posted here gives me lots of idea how my BT will look when finished, keep up the thread cos it certainly help me on building mine . just a thought how much weight have you added for balast alot of mine is removable poul,
