Dragon by Borge - Billing Boats - scale 1:12 - sail yacht


Recommended Posts

This evening i made 5 more boys, sanded and ready for painting tomorrow.

Then they will be fitted with rope, and i guess i have to make a kind of holder for them to. :)

Have painted a thin stroke of white on the fenders, and made a holder for them.

It did put my silver solder skills on a test, "it was small"

That was a tricky operation :), burned my fingertip... :)

Turned out ok in the end..

Might install it on thie side of the cabin..

The fenders are great in themselves.  But the rack is......spectacular!

Finally finished with one side with the fenders, painted the ends in black.

It was not easy handling the thin rope, but the tweezer did the trick. :)

the Billing's Danmark site was down for a while........but it's back up now.  I thought they had discontinued the Dragen,  but I still see it in the list.   looks great.......bouys and rope = instant gratification! ;)   your special touches are really nice!
