Hi Jump.... I forgot about Emma C Berry, count me in on this one. Lovely looking on the water.

Drifting back on this subject.
Always wanted to have a go at the Nichimo 1:200 IJN Yamato with all the upgrades and also build another Sterling Emma C. Berry. Lost my first one in that damnable house fire in 2009.

Still hoping for a 1:12th scale Speedline Shannon Class Lifeboat someday.

A nice new thought but if money were no object then why go for the model but rather have the 'model' in the boat with you?

About 30 odd years ago I went to see Malcolm Darch, in Salcombe I sailed there in a very nice large (42 foot) yacht. He is a fantastic model maker and he showed me 2 commissions he was making. They were models of a big Super Yacht billionaire size, not millionaire. They were about 5 maybe 6 feet long. One was a static model to go in the main saloon and the other was identical but fully radio controlled.
I thought afterwards that as this was an ocean going vessel, there may not be too many places to launch it.
I have several of the model boats and yachts I want, I find these days that if the owner of a model I fancy will let me have a drive, I am happy enough.

Maybe a turbine for the 1/10 scale Bluebird I put in the build blogs earlier today. For now, it stays put away.

Twin-engined SPRINGERs...much customized. No plank-on-frame stuff, thank you.

In my case, the money would not so much be spent on new kits, but a place to build them, because i
Can’t build what I already have. But I would have to add a high quality long distance trawler kit, and get my Mt. Washington and some Chris Craft cruisers on the workbench.

Oh Add a model of HMS Vanguard top mine - the Battleship not the SSBN :-)
