My first kit built model from the Billings range. Plank on frame and all the fittings scratch built. Seen here at New Brighton's original pool circa 1970's. Now needs a rebuild as all the planks either side of the cascamite joints have split so will need a glass cloth cover.

Hi Wallace
Keeping well thank you but now living in Cheshire so like you am some distance from New Brighton. Was a long time ago and I do remember the models always attracted a large crowd at the weekend. The Ice cream man must of had some really good days in the summer! Good to hear you have re-started modelling and see you have chosen a good subject. Should keep you busy for a while. Best wishes Dave ▲
