Tommy, the project is stopped for the time being, I am getting IRON DUKE ready for a show.

Simple but effective.

Yes! My all time favorite build! I just wish Victorious (Geoff) would have finished the Marlborough.ARH wrote:Tommy, the project is stopped for the time being, I am getting IRON DUKE ready for a show.

Geoff sold 3 of his boats the other day, he just had the Marborough to sell for �80-00. or $160.TommyL wrote:

Is Geoff out of boats?--back to trains...?
Good to hear that Iron Duke is getting her bottom wet again!
Will the USS North Carolina sail this year?
Hope to see pics of her afloat--which event are you doing?

Any ship larger than a Destroyer is a waste of metal.

Some one did, the 3 he sold went for a couple of hundered pounds each, the carrier was in that,

The first one in particular is absolutely lovely - in b&w it could almost be a photo of the original...
Yet - even more pictures of her in her natural element would be excellent.
