CUSTOMERS MODELS.

 We are occasionally  very kindly sent pictures of customers models. These may be of any type of model and are mostly scratch built.  We never publish pictures without the owners consent. The common factor with all these models is that they are using Modelling Timbers products in there construction.

"BANTERER" 6th rate 24 gun vessel.

 Mr Michler of Frankfurt in Germany has kindly sent me some pictures of his current project that he and his father are building. So far they have taken two years to build this masterpiece and they tell me that they estimate another two years before completion. I think that anybody seeing this model cannot fail to be seriously impressed by the superb workmanship. This model is built at a scale of 1:30 and will be a fully working and sailing model once completed.

Here we have a superb picture of the decking. This is individual planked as can be seen by the colour variation within the planking, superb work. The corking and treenailing is also a work of art, as is all the very fine detail work.

The picture below shows the suberb detailing within the cabin area complete with oil paintings, maps and documents. Fabulous!

Thank you for sharing these pictures with us!                                                                                                                                                                  Febuary 2010.

ARAB DHOW.

I have kindly been sent a picture of an Arab Dhow that has been renovated by Mr Charles of Rotherham. Mr Charles bought this at a flea market in Bahrain in need of serious renovation and it is beleived that it was built some time in the 1950's. It is an unusual Dhow in the fact that it is twin masted.  Mr Charles has used our rigging cords and sailcloth for his project and I must say he has done a superb job.
