Tell him yourself, He is up with the Gods now, he was 84 when he past on, I used to see him 4 times a year, I did a 300 mile round trip in the day,you could never meet a nice man, thats why the ship was always a happy ship.

Reid, the lights make a very nice addition to your corvette! Who's smoke generator did you use? Have you installed a sound package?

Question for the Admiral and other Flower fans,
A fellow modeller is building the Revell Snowberry, but with lots of modifications. Now he has read about a Sounding machine, the Kelvine Mk IV. He want's to make one for his Flower, but has a problem.
Were does it stands? Bridge, Midships, other place... ?
If someone knows, thank you for answering!!
:thumbs_up_1:
Greetz, Johan :wave_1:

It stood on the bridge deck on BRYONY, there was an arm that came out from the side of the bridge that carried the sounding cable away from the side of the ship, have a look at my bryony in the gallery, :thumbs_up_1:


Look at the 6th photo down,

For a model of 15 years and a sailing one at that Ron's Bryony still looks good on and off the water.

I have thought about that over and over and I would love to have something cover-up that motor noise but I haven't really gotten ground to it. :| i would really love to have one though.
