Airfix 1/72 RNLI Severn Class Lifeboat

Very cool, I didn't know they did a lifeboat model. One of my near neighbours is one of their most decorated coxwains and he started in rowing boats

Hi all here's the next update.
Do you think this water is ok not to steep?



I won't get any more done for a week as I'm on hols.

I really like those steep seas, like something i see on Deadliest catch.
Scary stuff. !!

That red looks superb too Ken.

Hi all here is the next update.

Hi all well I've started the water, obviously needs to be a lot bigger on the spray I envisage it going well over the bow and probably double the ammount coming from the front then lots of connon wool for the masses of foam.

Hi all well here is where it is now. I love the little lifeboat on the deck and have added the grab ropes to it, I drilled little holes in the side then inserted bits of telephone wire which I then draped the ropes over then glued them in place after which I cut the wire off.
After adding the inner parts at the rear of the cabin it would no longer fit on the deck properly after a lot of head scratching I found that the front edge of the added inner bits was fouling with the cabin wall (in hind sight I should have added that wall to the removable cabin) so I've had to shave a tiny bit of try it shave a bit more off and continue in that fashion till it finally fitted.








Still loads to do on this, it really is a great little kit I would put it up there with one of my favourites up with the likes of the Heller 1/8 traction avant or even the big 1/6 scale tamiya bike kits, it's a really great kit and well worth the money.
