Nice looking little ship there!  How old is the model and did you take any photos of it to show the state of it's deterioration when you started? I noticed there are numerous figures aboard, were these original or are they part of your enhancements?

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your comments

I`m not so sure how old the kit is Dave, but I remember that it was on sale through Billing Boats distributers at the time when I bought my Bohuslän Kit, that means somewhere in the late 1970 ties.

Unfortunately I took no pics of the pre- restoration condition. The crew- and passenger figures are part the enhancements

 

Cheers, Nils
