That looks absolutely brilliant just how I remember the one in Portland Harbour. all that's missing is the rust and a ton of seagull droppings on the top
Your scratch building is inspirational.

My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Re: Lancfan's RAF Cuckoo Rescue Float.
The borders around the decals were painted over to match the hull this morning before I went to work. The next stage is to fit the railings, masts and rigging, I see a lot of stretched sprue appearing on my bench in the near future.

This is the model as I left it at the start of my new job, I started work at a very busy time and things are now slowing down to normal so I should get my hobby life back very soon.
This will go on the back burner for a while to be finished later here in Ships, Boats and Submarines.

It's a brilliant and unique model David. I shall look forward to seeing it finished when you have some more bench time.
