AndyT Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 This weekend, I have been mostly making a display case for it. Living room is in turmoil now due to moving shelves and stuff to get this mother in somewhere. Your poor suffering wife. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 That's one heck of a display case Ewen. What happened to the one Jane got for your birthday? There should be room for it on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats at work Ken, pride of place on the windowsill, just along from the Supras, the Camel hanging from the ceiling as if its coming out of the sun. Running out of room fast, but I have a little spot reserved for Bluenose II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 The reason I ask is that I've got an unfinished Billing Bluenose II here that my Dad never got round to finishing before he passed away. It'd be nice for it to go to a worthy home. S'funny that, my dad was into building model boats, inc all the RC gear, I kept his Whitby lifeboat after he died, it sits on the shelf behind me here, about 1metre bow to stern, it has motors in and little nav lights. He made loads of highly detailed, scratch built models, most of which my mum sold. Unfortunately I can't run the lifeboat as, and this shows the nature of some folk, after he died, another member of his model boat club told my mum all the RC gear was worthless and he paid her £20 for all the radio gear, actuators, batterys and at least 5 RC hand units (whatever thery're called, the things with the aerials and knobs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusting behavior, seen it many times myself. Sometimes from the most unexpected source too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivan Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Sadly, much the same happened with my Dad's old RC plane gear too. 6 kits and a helicopter plus the RC stuff for £50. Running out of room fast, but I have a little spot reserved for Bluenose II.Good news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think such things existed on that scale. You never know what this Xmas will bring though if you drop the right hints:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I quote... A 74-gun man o'war, LE SUPERBE was built from the design of one of the most famous naval engineers: Jacques Noël SANE. For 30 years, SANE designed French naval warships. Begun in the shipbuilding yard of Brest in 1782, and launched in 1784, LE SUPERBE formed part of the fleet of Admiral Villaret de Joyeuse. ahh no doubt we sunk it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
