Indeed Harry - it looks sooo good!
I should start giving my "mail man" some cookies and see if he can deliver my package

Good one Harry - congratulations on a unique ship model!

Hi All,

Since there are no photos of the SS Drumgeith.
Bob Wilson has been very kind in letting me use this photo of his build of the SS Drumgeith.
"Some time ago, I decided to build a model of her, but couldn't find the funnel colours! I therefore built her under her later name as NEWTON HALL."

Harry,
Great looking ship with a long history (built 1905 - broken up 1954) with a number of owners. Possibilities are many. Thanks to your insight, and examples like Bob Wilson's models, I predict a resurgence in merchant ship modelling. Thanks.

What a delightful display! I'm glad merchants are coming back.

Hi All,

Thought you might like to see the first finished kit that I know of the SS Drumgeith.
T. Sperling has finished her as the SS Matra.

Hi,

Jim Baumann has just finished his build of the SS Drumgeith.
Here is the photo I am using for the box art.


There is also a build report at the site.
