Yes! My all time favorite build! I just wish Victorious (Geoff) would have finished the Marlborough.

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

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?

Regards

Sounds as though somebody got a good buy! Seems like they'd be worth a lot more than that without the RC equipment.

What a shame - I must have missed them.

The first one in particular is absolutely lovely - in b&w it could almost be a photo of the original... :thumbs_up_1:

Yet - even more pictures of her in her natural element would be excellent.

I love the first one - Iron Duke and a worthy companion. Is that the Dean's Marine 1/96 kit?
