RSS Fetcher Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Modelling has taken a bit of a back seat recently with the real world getting in the way. <br /><br />Saying that-there's plans afoot to address this and a few little projects are on the go at present. One of them is to build a number of Coble fishing boats as found on the North East Coast-especially around Flamborough-Whitby coastline.<br /><br />These vessels have a well defined keel and hull. For my project the the boats will be set in the 1950's as per this photo:<br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='http://www.tradboat2.co.uk/sourcepages/cobles/coblephotos/filey%20post%20card%201954%20under%20sail.jpeg'alt='Posted Image' /></span><br /><br />No kits exist of a 4mm scale Coble however the Zvedza Medieval Sailing Boat kit can be fettled into something resembling the boats in the photo above:<br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3882/14992728655_8e6e5a5c48_z.jpg' alt='Posted Image' /></span><br /><br /><br />As you can see I've started making some modifications to the keel in these shots:<br /><br /><br /><span rel='lightbox'><img class='bbc_img' src='https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5582/14999538921_d95f1c5412_z.jpg' alt='Posted Image' /></span><br /><br /><br />Here's the finished Coble-the first of a small flotilla! <img src='http://www.rmweb.co.uk/community/public/style_emoticons/default/smile3.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br /><br />Need to get some paint on it and thread up the mast/sail and add some crab/lobster pots.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />Mark View the full article Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
