Welcome aboard! You have some great detail to share...and that is great help you offer. I for one would be facinated by your own work...where can it be found?[/quote]

thanks for the comment.i don't have a web site.as i say.totally useless with computer technology.
just post my photos of model builds on the usual model forums.
neil.

hi , New on here, and what I know about computer graphics could be written on a pin head.........but I do know craftsmanship, and your images are just wonderfull.

My friend showed me this site this morning as he is building an R/C model in GRP at 1:32 scale, and as I used to victual these ships in my home port of Fleetwood back in the early 1970's they bring back a great deal of nostalgia for me.

Could I just point out one small disprepancy in your "build" though.

The small hatches on the fore deck were for throwing fish down into a large under deck stoorage room, and were topped with small planks of wood and then covered in a tarpaulin and closed with wooden wedges. They would never have had Mushroom vents on top of them as there was access needed to stow the catch 24/7/365 and also were not sturdy enough to carry vents as you have depicted on hatches 1 and 3. to show these hatches I have included a picture of those similar hatches on a model I made a little while ago
