Hello Jim.Awesome model, Jack!! Nice details and weathering! Is it a scratch build?
Hi Snowy, no it's just a bit of grouting removing cloth from a diy shop that I dyed in thinned acrylic black. Glad you like the boat. JJ.Hey mate great looking ship
Did the netting come with the shop cheers snowy
Thanks Chris, I agree with you ,but the thing I like about these Plymouth/Brixham trawlers is that they worked all the week and then many of them raced in regattas at the weekend. They where remarkably fast, I think I said before Torbay Lass, a cotemporary of Erycina, once, in 1929, won a race at an average speed of 14.9 knots. Back in the day I raced a flying fifteen and never ever seen that speed. Glad you liked the wee boat, cheers JJ..in particular the representations of the ship's boat and the net are wonderful. I love British fishing vessels of that period, such character while being designed as just a work machine.
I crewed on a Brixham trawler twice in the '60s, taking part in the annual races.Thanks Chris, I agree with you ,but the thing I like about these Plymouth/Brixham trawlers is that they worked all the week and then many of them raced in regattas at the weekend.
