Lifeboats / 12th Scale Mersey Class Lifebo...
Last post by dpbarry - November 30, 2020, 03:36:15 PMOkay. This should be interesting. I've had the Hull and Cabin for a 12th Scale Mersey for some years now. Unfortunately a lot of things have gotten in the way of the build - i.e. Family and The real thing. 
I'm crew at Newcastle Lifeboat Station in Northern Ireland and have worked my way up from Shore Crew to Helm of the Inshore D-Class and Navigator on our Mersey - (12-29 Eleanor and Bryant Girling). I'm currently working towards my Coxswain pass-out but Covid-19 has put the brakes on that for a while - Maybe early to mid 2021 should see more progression on that aspect. . Hopefully in the not too distant future, our Mersey will be replaced by a new Shannon Class Lifeboat. I'm not going to jinx it with a date as Mr Covid is covering that but hopefully the good folks at RNLI Headquarter will be able to fend things off.
I'll start posting info on my build as soon as things progress.
Cheers
