As some of you know I have been working on the British Tramp Steamer Drumgeith as Built 1905.
I myself like this type of ship, as it has both steam and sails. This is a very interesting era in shipping building(and there are a couple of more models of the era on the way).
Dimensions: 355' x 48' x 17.7' or 6.125" in 1/700.

The Turned Brass Masts are on their way from BMK of Germany.
We will start production of this kit next week.
Price $70.00
Scale 1/700
If you would like to pre-order just drop us a line.

Hi Rui,

Yes, you are on the preorder list(thank you). I will send it with your USCGC Tamaroa.
The Mast should be here late next week ??? usually 7-9 days from Germany.
I am very happy with the way it turned out.
BTW, there is going to be a group build of her on Alexander's site.

A little update:

There was a little problem with the PE ratlines.
Problem solved:
I have some coming from Peter Hall in England. If we are lucky the should be here late next week.

BTW, The custom made 32mm masts by BMK are here.

Glad you've tackled the ratlines, my friend, "mad peter" to the rescue, eh?!

Your resin work, Peter Hall's etching, and Burkhardt's precision lathe work...what a fine combination of master talents!

So we are getting Atlantic Models PE ratlines?
They are great (I bought a couple of packs in the last Scale ModelWorld) and of course Peter's work is top notch!!

Looking forward to see this model
