I just received my Tamaroa kit night of last, mates, and must say, yet
another gem of resin from BFM!
The detail and quality, top notch, subject matter is as equal....watch for a full review of the new release soon after the Nat's, mates!
Order up one of these beauties, you won't be sorry that you did!.........................

Mark,
Aren’t you building one for the Staff build??
I would throw in my two cents about Harry and his kits, but we might make him blush again.
BTW, the tug and barge set is killer as well!

Well yes and no, my friend...I'm building the Penguin, but as a conversion from Harry's ATF Fleet Tug ( the harder way!
)...so far, all that I've accomplished is staining and first water-color paint on the base, and some well covered research getting all the t's crossed and i's dotted for my references for the build...

I also purchased the Tamaroa. I was pleasantly surprised as to how big this cutter was.

Hi Harry,
I have a port side profile of her, but not the starboard.

Hi All
Due to the Heavy demand for AK 13 Kit, it will take 5-10 business days for your order to ship.
I am pouring as fast as I can.(about five AK 13 kits a day)
Mike, that is a Hog Islander being built by Christian Bruer. Yes, he is doing a great job!
There is also a build along by Christian on my site.
Chris, yes I see a 1/700 North Sea trawler in the distant fog(The putty is drying on the porch as I write this).
Kenny, did you receive my email?
