These are a brave punt on his part, to be followed by narrow boats, bigger fishing boats and a paddle steamer.Oddshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406048947308249483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367600670436634226.post-9050009583536923402014-08-14T10:35:47.866-07:002014-08-14T10:35:47.866-07:00Those masters look excellent.

If I ever need a boat on my layout I'll certainly be tempted given to buy one from N-Drive Productions as no only do they look great, but buying from a distant relative beats buying from a faceless corporation.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02418527698793489162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4367600670436634226.post-37734366364264050742014-08-14T07:03:06.062-07:002014-08-14T07:03:06.062-07:00Exactly, Paul, canoes, coracles, gun punts, anythi...Exactly, Paul, canoes, coracles, gun punts, anything you can mess about in is fine.<br />Both boats are to 4mm scale. The lobster boat is 25ft, the cruiser is 21 ft-6.<br />I'm not aware of Rescue Wooden Boats. I'll have to get up there again sometime. I don't live that far away.

I paddled one of the 'yaks in Wells harbour last week shadowing my wife who was enjoying a stiff swim against the tide.<br />Those boat masters look the business, especially the lobster boat which looks to be the ideal size for layout use.<br />Have you visited 'Rescue Wooden Boats' in Stiffley? We went last Wednesday and were rather impressed with the Lucy Lavers restoration progress.Paul B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05278773151546187084noreply@blogger.com
