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.

There was a little problem with the PE ratlines.
Problem solved:

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
