Callie Graphics is a great outfit.

They will provide vinyl graphics of any kind to meet you needs. Their products are far better than anything you can do with decal paper and a computer printer or stick on letters. They are sensitive to the needs of model builders. Prices are very reasonable and service is prompt. I have used them many times.

Hint: when purchasing graphics from them I buy spares in case things go wrong while applying them of they are damaged in the future.

Imaginary friend….. when you know you’re going to go somewhere where line ups will be, take them with you….. talk with them often…. You want to get to the front quickly, take a beach ball with you too

Without a doubt, best thing going…. No one knows how to deal with you and they just want you GONE

In and out fast

Looks fantastic like the lights

Congratulations on your well done model.
Every picture you took makes your model looks like the actual vessel.
I love the interior shots and this one is my favorite.😎

Did I count right, 15 attended the rendezvous? Amazing work.

Fantastic collection! I can't imagine storing all those beauties without getting
"dock rash" on them.

Now, that’s a party! 😁

Looks awesome 👍👍👍👍

Looking great 👍

Very nice boat!

Hello
Very nice boat indeed. Are the plans available somewhere ?

Now that is inspirational Brightwork! I love it!!!

Merry Christmas Gang and let's make 2024 a year of health, productivity, happiness, and model building!!!!!!!

Thank you everyone. I am simply a builder and steward. Not sure what will happen to them in the future. I hope they end up in loving homes. I certainly enjoy them

DW Brinkman. IKEA shelves with led tape lighting. Thank you for your kind words. These shelves are in the bedroom. I just can’t seem to get shelf space in the living room lol. Some are in my man cave as well. Cheers.

Brightwork,
You inspired me to do something to display some of my boats. It's just a start, but I cleared off some less interesting stuff from a couple of bookshelves and went to my shed and literally "dusted off" some of my Harbor.
Certainly not as beautiful as yours, but now I at least have a few of my boats to look at over the winter Dry Dock season.
Thanks for the inspiration!

PS Please ignore the mess around the bookshelves, it was a quick and dirty project, LOL

Hi are there several decks and a funnel? Might be the Royal Yacht Britannia. Deans did a kit some years ago.
Roy

I reckon you're right Roy👍 but with some 'modellers license'.
Especially at the stern - seems to be intended for only one shaft whereas the original had two.
Stabilisers were also fitted to the hull.
The embryonic superstructure looks about right though.
Deans still do a kit, but it ain't cheap🤑🤑
Cheers, Doug😎

restoring and repairing models are a great challenge that is also full of fun and in-depth knowledge of the subject.
👍👍

Thank you for sharing yours and the boat’s provenance Brightwork! Such wonderful memories.
One of life’s great pleasures in my book is taking something old and returning it to its former glory. Cheers! And keep those pix coming!!!

Flaxybuck,

Yes..especially as one comment put it...they did not have the tools etc to make jewelry and all the fine work that it needs as they have now.
