Thanks Tom.

Today i found this photo in British Motor Torpedo Boat 1939-45 new vanguard;
And that showed the carlyraft on somekind of frame.
So i made this;
And the air recon star is also in progress,
The weathering is getting there to.

Thank you gentlemen,
The helmet ,you noticed .Question about that ,the chinstrap what material would that be canvas or leather?

TDK

Hi Tom,


On the Mk II The straps were canvas, leather innard. There is a short video here.

Alan ,thanks for the link about the hardhats and for me piggybagging on your original post
I think this will be the last bunch of photos of my Vosper 204 project cause i think i'm done.
There are a few small things but they don't show.














The photos tell the tale if there any remarkes or question ,let it rip.

Hi Tom,

I think you have done a cracking job on the boat it looks excellent and the additional detail you have added is a real plus. Thanks for the build and all the valuable infomration it porduced.

Certainly one to be proud of.

Cheers

Hello Tom, She looks terrific. I had a great time following along, and learned a lot that I could apply to my own build. Thanks for the inspiration, and congratulations on a fine job. Al

Excellent work Tom, she really looks the part. The only criticism I would have is about the ropes on the bow and stern - they look a little thick even for 1/35; the stern rope isn't long enough for a mooring line and the stuff on the bow would be coiled more neatly. The Cox'n would have the nuts off of any seaman that left that cat's cradle!

Small deal though on such a great model.............

I would love to see an Elco 70 or 77 foot boat,basic hull and deck(lower price) and seoarate options for USN RN MTB or MGBs

Nice layout sketch for the forward area, I do believe though, the Bulkhead should be at frame #6 instead of #8. It wasposition forward of the headsand was the aft wall of the forepeak.

There appear to be a lot of Commandos on Board, could this be from the Bruneval Raid although that was the Paras, or from the Raid on the French Dry Docks?

Cheers
