Guest jim s-w Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hi Carl Just out of interest, how heavy is the ferry? Cheers Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotblack Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Just happened across this thread when I was browsing for something else, and WOW, am I impressed!!! I've never been on the 'Hebridean Isles', but I'm a "fairly" regular traveller on the 'Isle of Mull', and you've certainly caught the character of the modern ferries. I'm looking forward to pictures of 'Columba' when you get around to building her as she was the regular vessel on the Oban - Craignure run for many years and she grew on me after a period when going on family holidays to the Isle of Iona. My real favourite would have to be 'King George V'; now there's an elegantly classic steamer. If only I had the space, but in 7mm scale....

carl1967 Posted February 24, 2010 Author Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hi Carl, FlickR has about 25 photos of MV Columba plus more after the refit and rename Thanks Yes I have seen them m8, but they do not show the deck detail I would like. Am not saying I canny build her, but she will only be 70% right and that’s just not me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carl1967 Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi all 90% of the port side lettering is done, so going to leave it to dry for 3 days or more before i do the starboard side. I will get on with the ramps for now. new pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Hi Carl, Fabulous as ever. That 'y' in the lettering on the hull though doesn't seem right - shouldn't it be lower down - or have I missed something? It looks right in one of the earlier shots and then seems to have been moved up somehow?? Cheers, Dave Waverley West Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't help but hear some cool tunes playing, a mix i've not heard before, any chance of letting me know what it is? Be a shame when you've finished the build, its been enlightening, Whats next ??? I could do with a 1/76 HMS Ark Royal !!! Only joking well done. Kind Regards Paul hi paul the mix is, The Cut Up Boys, Mash Up Mix 2008 CD2 I Have 2 more ferrys to build when Heb is done!
