mtdoramike Posted January 16, 2021 #2 Posted January 16, 2021 WOW, I didn't see this coming. Another one bites the dust. My resources are getting smaller and smaller. But I would like to say thank you for always being there for me as well as the rest of us die hard modelers the past 33 years. thibaultron, Canute and mtaylor 3
DelF Posted January 16, 2021 #3 Posted January 16, 2021 Very sad to see the Model Dockyard go. I've been using them for around 20 years and always found their service excellent. I wish Nick Tonkin a happy and well-deserved retirement. Just seems a pity no-one is taking on the business, as there are already too few good suppliers to the model ship community. mtaylor 1 Cheers, Derek Current build: Duchess of Kingston On hold: HMS Winchelsea Previous builds: HMS Speedy, English Pinnace, Royal Yacht Caroline (gallery), Victory Cross-section (gallery), US Clipper Albatros, Red Dragon (years ago!) On the stocks: 18th Century Longboat
chris watton Posted January 16, 2021 #4 Posted January 16, 2021 It is a shame. I bought one of my very first wooden kits from Nick back in 1992, Mantua's (then) brand new kit of Le Superb, and ordered from the Model Dockyard for years after. He will be missed. mtaylor and Slowhand 2 Vanguard Models on Facebook
Slowhand Posted January 16, 2021 #5 Posted January 16, 2021 (edited) It’s a shame, just leaves Cornwall Model Boats for on line orders in the UK for timber, parts etc. Edited January 16, 2021 by Slowhand More text mtaylor 1 Slowhand, Current build - Polacca scratch build from Amati plan previous builds San Martin - Occre H.MS Resolution - Corel Half Moon - Corel Dragon keel boat - Billings
lmagna Posted January 16, 2021 #6 Posted January 16, 2021 Sad to see him go. He always seemed to have fair prices and an inanimate knowledge of what to stock. mtaylor and Slowhand 2 Lou Build logs: Colonial sloop Providence 1/48th scale kit bashed from AL Independence Currant builds: Constructo Brigantine Sentinel (Union) (On hold) Minicraft 1/350 Titanic (For the Admiral) 1/350 Heavy Cruiser USS Houston (Resin) Currant research/scratchbuild: Schooner USS Lanikai/Hermes Non ship build log: 1/35th UH-1H Huey
