Just a little update to the thread for the Free Enterprise V model...........
It has now been just over a year since we started offering this kit and, to date, we have launched over 25 kits to their new owners - both here in the UK and to Germany, Belgium and Denmark! Thank you all who have trusted in us and supported us with this - quite a few who have purchased have kept in touch whilst they have been building their models and have sent photographs of their progress and, we have to say, the models do look superb!!! A popular option has been to add lighting to the model and one chap we know of has even managed to have the headlights on the cars on the car-deck lit - now that is detail........ Another chap has managed to fabricate a method of having the bow and stern doors operating on his model as well as full LED lighting. It is very gratifying to read and hear of the progress being made with these models and we hope to see some of them on the ponds one day.
Another pleasant surprise was the review article in the May issue of Marine Modelling Magazine. Obviously we knew that a review was being carried out but, other than when I delivered the kit to the reviewer, we had no contact with him during the build so to read the article was very gratifying.
Here is a shot of the cover:
Now to get the Norland finished for launch and crack on with the next one (or two....or three......)
