Clagmeister Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 Started getting the base materials together today for the harbour extension. The new area of water will be 130cmX100cm. This should be big enough to have Heb stern into the linkspan and Pioneer moored. will post pics on here when I start work. cheerio Claggy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waverley West Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Are you sure you don't mean Glen Sannox? Yep, I meant Glen Sannox. There was a slight rearrangement of the letters in my head between reading the book and getting to the computer. All the right letters (well, almost anyway), just not necessarily in the right order.

Clagmeister Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Finally made a start on the massive expanse of water I need to get these ferrys into. Really hoping I can do them justice. Caolisport harbour takes shape. Area measures 130cmX100cm. Should be big enough. cheerio Claggy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Jim T Posted November 19, 2009 RMweb Premium Share Posted November 19, 2009 This is inspirational - not just the subject, but the speed and quality of the modelling. Are you using a drawing or doing it all by eye? Jim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waverley West Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 and there was me going to tell you your layout was perfection in its self but not now Well, alright then, I s'pose it's quite good reallly. I'll admit to that. But my therapist said I'm not to go any further than that. Otherwise there's a danger of a serious relapse, he said.

mikemeg Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Carl, I've been watching this thread for a little while now and all I can say is what others have already said - WOW. On my model of Hessle Haven, the prototype location had a small shipyard - built tugs, trawlers and the two sail training schooners Sir Winston Churchill and Malcolm Miller in the early 1960's. I'd never considered building a 4mm ship to go on the model but your thread has inspired me to have a go, sometime next year when I build the next section of the railway. This thread is just a sheer joy to behold and the photographs really do illustrate your work superbly. Many thanks for the inspiration and for a wonderful thread. Cheers Mike Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
