๐ Vosper crash Tender general arrangement plans....

I was given a 28" abs model kit of the 46' Vosper Crash Tender obtained from AliExpress. It had just parts..... no diagrams or instructions. Does anyone have a nice clear general arrangement drawing of her? I need to check a few things to bring the model closer to scale (the model has a totally flat deck for example which I know isn't true) This site has a couple rather fuzzy ones in the plans section which aren't good enough. Thanks!

Ronald, that's because the current master is no where neart the calibre of Angus Walter and the other captains of the Grand Banks fleet. Angus greatest love was hoisting full canvas and seeing how she'd do.

Hey-you, the Harbour master/narrator, at least for the original English language series, was Denny Dougherty of the Mammas and the Pappas. The show was shot in the gymnasium of a closed Halifax high school... the one Denny attended as a youth!

I have a 500mm sla hull of Theodore Too on the bench, currently getting scuppers properly sized and such. The ship behind is the heavy ice breaker, CCGS Terry Fox , in for an extensive mid-life refit. Theodore is also getting some minor work done. The original yard who built Theodore did a fairly complete refit and was converted to biodiesel in 2022. Now where can I find plans for the Terry Fox.......

IanL1, it's Rotary Centennial Pond at Spencer Smith Park, in Burlington ON CA. Just north of Lake Ontario. The pond is also used for skating in the winter.

Having painted figures over the years ( I used to be active in military modelling, especially "braille" scale), a combination is most appropriate usually. Airbrush for primer and larger/separate parts such as torsos and limbs, brush for finer details/toning. Like usual, it also depends on colours as well...... putting light over dark can be a pain!

Reminds me of an old schoolmate who bought a Muskoka Mahogany....... cost $5000 for the boat. The final bill of the restoration was (gulp) $250,000!!!! But, by God, did she look good afterwards!
