Amazing. The downward shot of the ship and the wake is pure artistry. Excellent article... thanks Jim!

Cheers,

Hi Jim
I have always admired your work on Model Ship World and this new venture of yours has led me to an idea I have had for some time.Perhaps you can help. Amongst my kits that I intend to do I have stored for some time the Harvey by Artesania at 1:50 Scale. As I have built this model some years ago (I bought two at auction) I would like to bash this one into a vessel similar to you project as the hull shape is similar. Where can I get a clear drawing or picture of the coach house and general deck lay
out. If you have any suggestions I would be gratefull for them.
Regards Les

Some ships just shine and some don't, some modellers works shine and others not, and Jim B's work just shines from everywhere, he chooses the best boats and does the best models, I am never tired of looking at his stuff

Thank you all for your kind words!!

Les--drop me an e-mail at [email protected] and I will endeavour to send you some pics and ideas--I am not familiar with the Artesanai kit--send me a pic--I have a fair bit of info on steamyachts around that era..!
