HI shipmates, here,s a few shpts of the "Port ".
She,s a 1/80 scale scratch built cargo ship of the Port line company from around the 1950,
A ship this size requieres quite a bit of balast, I use water, it takes around 40 lds to get her sitting right, this is pumped in and out with a submersible caravan water pump.
Most of the fittings are resin castings.
there are a few more bits to finnish off but could not resist the chance to try her out on the Chasewater pool.

The "port " is a 1/80 scale scratch built cargo ship some 6 ft 5 inchs long
the hull is of 1/32 ply with halfords matt gpr on the inside and fighter aces fine matt cloth for the outer finnish.
Almost all the fixtures and fittings are cast resin.
The ship carries 50lbs of water balast to give a realistic water line.
The balast is pumped in/out by a caravan water pump, this removes the need of carrying great block of concreat to and from the poolside !!!.
At the moment Im just finnishing off the " belgulf union " a 6foot tanker, this is near to water trials when the weather picks up a little,
the way things are going that should be around june or july !!! (Motor: 7 7 7 ) (ESC: electronize) (5/10)
