Fred,
Have you built perseverance yourself?
Thanks for putting me in touch it’s Toby, really interesting chap, he has the original drawings on Imara from archive which he has copied and sent through, I think he is recreating Perseverance from the ground up, correcting various Caldercraft/jotika model inaccuracies to represent the real life tug as it was from photographs/plans/drawings - fair play to him.
Unfortunately for us, the Imara tug was complete as I bought it from another model collector, who happened to have a Perseverance model besides when I bought mine, but didn’t want to sell, it was on eBay recently for sale.
My dad, has gone further, with my persistence to try to go one step further than ones we’ve seen so far, like I say it’s difficult to modify a model already completed with alterations, but were doing our best, it’ll never be a true representation, but as I said my dad is the modeller, and I see this as a gift from him for future use, and something to remember what he did for me. I’ll inherit loads of his boats of his anyway, including Imara’s sister ship - Marie Felling.
I will put photo’s up of ours when complete.
Cheers Dean
