Excellent choice Eddy, and very well executed. There should be more of the obscure paddle boats modelled. Is the only way they will be preserved for the next generation to enjoy.
Dare to be different.

I have to admit that I prefer the more unusual models Kiwi - If it's something that dozens of other people have built it doesn't interest me.

The good thing with the Sir William Wallace is the beam of the hull, it makes for a superbly stable model - As can be seen by all of the diecast models on the deck!

Although I did the basics, Andrew desesrves some real credit for adding all of the detail stuff which has brought the model to life!!  I know he's spent some considerable time on it, and I think it shows! Well done mate  :bravo

Regards
Eddy

My apologies Andrew for not including you. The overall effect of the whole craft is very real, and I like all the vehicles, well done you both. Will have to get my oddball completed now.

Another couple of photos of the Sir William Wallace, taken at Edinburgh MBC last sunday (25th May 2008). Sadly the weather conditions, strong gusty winds, didn't allow it to sail, but it certainly looks very realistic now that Andrew has added all the deck cargo and passengers etc.

Eddy
