Hi,

I have been tinkering with the idea of producing the SS Pearl in 1/350.
Is there any interest in the SS Pearl in 1/350?

........Is there any interest in the SS Pearl in 1/350?

Hello Harry,

yes please, a scale 1/350 Coaster would be fine!

[Harry @ BFM]

I am putting the finishing touches on the 1/700 British 'A' Type Steamer War Thistle & War Drake.

If you have any photos of either of these ships they would be greatly appreicated.

That would be a welcome addition. How about different scales for your vents as well?

[Harry @ BFM]

Funny you should mention 1/350 vents. They are in the works as I needed some for the YO-20, Tug & SS Pearl.

Hi Harry,

I'm just listening to Suzy Bogus singing 'The Banks of the Old Ohio' - how about a model of the Ohio of Pedestal fame. She didn't last long, but she was the saviour of Malta. Just a thought!

Hi Hugh,

That is a kit I have been wanting to make. But, since I make everything by hand, it is not possible as my eyes have caught up with my age.

I will however bring up the Ohio to Izzet @ Alliance Modelworks next time I speak with him.

Thanks Harry,

Your latest little gems are very tempting, at last somebody is getting away from the big ships. While I am rambling on, it has occurred to me, what would be the possibility of an Admiralty Trawler of the Shakespear Class. The reason for this is that when I was a kid I visited Kilindini and HMT Rosalind was in dry dock. It has sort of stuck with me!

Thanks for taking time out to get back to me.

Regards,

Hugh Williams

Hi Hugh,

You might contact Mike McCabe @ Finewaterline. If I remember correctly his group was planning on producing some British Trawlers.

I did chat with Izzet today. He may be interested in the Ohio. Since he is able to do all the work in CAD it would be a great kit!

War Drake looking good to me, Harry, I love those sexy camo schemes. Yes it would be good to have some back up pictures at least to confirm the scheme on the opposite side otherwise I guess it would be repeat, and display the model on the side shoen only.......

BTW, I love those ratlines and I have written up the item in Warship News in the Scale Millitary Modelling Magazine - out about June/July issue. These go well with your 700 scale Pearl, and the Tramp steamer Drumgeith - yes they do! Also I will be building HMS Victory with HMS Iron Duke - Portsmouthh diona duse BFM ratlines - a perfect marriage.

Cheers, Harry,

Hi Peter,

Glad you like the 1/700 Ratlines.
They are a real success at my end also. Have had nothing but positive comments about them.

[Harry @ BFM]

Hi,

I received a large shipment from LifeColor paints today. All paints are now in stock.

Also, I am almost finish with the instructions for the 1/350 YO-20.
The kit will be available next week. I will begin shipping the pre-orders on Monday.

[Harry @ BFM]

Hi Bjorn,

The War Drake is 1/700, still working on the instructions.

On the Ohio, if it happens it would not be till next year.
The kit would come out in 1/350 first then 1/700.

[Guest]

Hi all.

Count me in for an Ohio in any scale and from any manufacturer!!

Cheers,

Nigel.

[Harry @ BFM]

Hi Nigel, Next year we hope.

And now an update on the 1/350 SMS Vulkan.

Those 1/700 accessories look very, interesting! Trains and water towers and what else am I looking at?
