Great looking models, so far.

 

We sailed on PD twice while she was still Regal Princess.

 

Admiral Burke was one of my boy-time heroes, a great sailor.

you wouldnt happen to be in the military would you matt, i ask this as the bedding in the pic is standard navy issue and i made one each day for about 9 years, have not seen one in a while though:D

hi,

 

no i went to sea a while ago and i had friends work for a shipping company ,which was sold in 1997,so when the ship left they gave me a spare counterpane it has a small rip but other wise its ok,its on the spare bed,

I was going to ask the same question there. Once you've seen one of THOSE bedspreads and made them a countless number of times, it is a memory firmly etched in your mind. I've been out nearly 11 years and it still brings back memories lol :D

 

The model is looking fantastic as well Matt. I'm sure my Dad would be envious of you. He loves building ships and has built quite a few in the past.

[Brossy]

Maybe you could donate it to the Maritime Museum in Sydney...that way everyone could check it out and admire your fine work :)

[nzmatt]

i could but i went there last week and i don't want it in storage,i would rather people can see it.or if i could get it on the ship itself?they could put it in a case and screw it down to the deck or display case,we dont want it to break with rough seas.

 

cheers matt
