"Hunan" built by John Brown in 1933 for China Steam Nav.
The model was again inspired by Pottingers plan in Model Shipwright, but as I wished to build at 1:48 I needed more detailed drawings. Glasgow university again to the rescue. They are great! Fast, efficient and friendly (and don't break the bank). I got a full set of builders plans including the "shell expansion" and details of the "anti-piracy" gear she had. At 1:48 the model would be 72" long and weigh in the region of 100lb. As usual, the entire deck lifts off for access. She was one of a pretty standard type of ship for her period (although I think the counter stern was getting a bit old-fashioned). The type was often referred to as "West Hartlepool Tramps" because of their distinctive 3 island structure.
These pictures were taken before I went "digital" and may not be of a highish standard.
Unfortunately, this model was also stolen at the same time as "Bayflower" along with all my tools, lathe, radios etc.
Pretty traumatic.
