| HiThought I start my build blog. I'm building the caledonion MacBrayne RHUM but I'm doing it as it is now in Arranmore ferrys,where it runs between Arranmore and Burtonport in the summer months. The original plans are 1/48 I have up scaled to 1/35 it works out about 750mm long and 20 5 mm wide. It's the same plans as barriew used on his. I keep you updated with the build this will be my 2nd scratch built model . Thanks Mark

| so here is the real boat as she is now l so first of the sides and the bottom, all made from 6mm ply going to be a nice size model, will get the bow door to operate and possible the rear life boat davit to turn and lower the boat, this is my 2 scratch built so far first was a simple tanker so a bit of a step but a nice size to try things out. so thats it for now MArk | |

| Its a good start Mark. Did you know she has a turntable on the car deck? I thought about putting one on mine, but decided it wasn't practical with the thin deck I used. It looks as though the loading ramp has been modified - the 'flap' is definitely different. Like the colour though Barrie | |

| Thanks Barry . her I saw it had a turntable I may put that in but I can't seem to find any photos of it. Need to sort the ramp out now and get that working. Yer yes looks like the ramp has changed a bit as well.
Thanks Mark | |
