very nice, what scale is it?

[sandystrone]

Like all my models, built to around 5/16" to the foot and comes out about 7feet long, see my other turbines in my gallery.

The DUCHESS was built by Harland & Wolff at their Govan yard in Glasgow in 1932 and scrapped at Troon about 1974

Some gorgeous models there Sandy, thanks for uploading the photos!

So many paddlers that I'd give my right arm to own!!

[Walter Snowdon]

Come on Sandy- its time you came out of the closet! We need a full liost of your current paddlers from you or we will "out" you and also post your name in the Parish Kirk or tell the "WEE FREE" about you!  A small  number of Paddleducks are hoping to visit Tynemouth club next Tuesday or Thursday if you are likely to be there, if not, the folloeing week. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!  regards, Walter.( Paddler spy, unapointed modefier ( is that the right word) of the Wee Free, Saltwater Baptist, third party conversationalist, to name but a few religious "bents".)

OK Walter,
Inlighten us in the colonies, I know a  Kirk is a Church but pray  tell what the "WEE FREE" is?
Regards,
Gerald

Actually Sandy mine IS yours :!:   It's your 54" model purchased many years ago from Tynemouth and since then refitted twice, still going strong but now only wetted occasionally.  Built to last eh :wink:
