Hello,
A couple of days ago I joined this Nort East Maritime Forum. So I am not completely aware of the possibilities of this site.
I have two reasons to be here: the first one is my interest that I have in the SD14 ships in general, which I have already about 10 years. Secondly I hope to get more info.
Why? I am an enthousiastic modeller. Mainly in Plastic, but every now and then in cardboard. And you might know that there exists a very nice model of the SD14 in scale 1 : 70. This model I intend already for a couple of years to build. It consists of 4.400 pieces to be cut and glued together.
All the pictures I find up till today mainly show the whole ship, from any side, sometimes from the air. What I am missing are the winches, details of the deckhouse and the derricks in detail.
Therefor my question: has anyone among the members more pictures about these items? I will be delighted.
I also do have a couple of shop drawings of the Tyne & Wear Museum and the book from Mr. J. Lingwood.
Which also gives lots of info. But you will understand: more info is always wanted.
Thanks in advance,
Gert Vlaanderen.
