Unfinished working model of the Isle of Man Steam Packet flagship August 2012
Have you still got the plans and bits and bobs as I would love to build one
Hi there what length is your model? i have one now but need a little assistance with sourcing railings.
Hi Scott, Sorry to be tardy. I am using a mixture of brass and plastic. The scale is 1:91 (so it just fits in the bath) and Scalelink (Dorset) have supplied the railings(SLAF 22) I have yet to put on.
My one is built at 1/100 scale and hoping to get her in the water in the spring. Will upload to you tube when ready. Thanks so much for getting back to me, am really impressed with your Ben. Scott
hey there love your model. i have one now but would like some advice on how you did the railings, can you email me please.
hi there this is a lovely model.. are you from the isle of man?
Nice
very clever,well done.....
Dear IOMferry, Hi, This was a labour of love and it is not for sale (yet). It is not finished but it has progressed some since the video. Notably the bridge railings have been added. I am obliged to let Cpt Taha of the IOMSPC Ltd. have a look at it first and he will also get to sail it. We are now down to the fine detail and there will be another post sometime in the future. Might I please invite your question again at that time?
Hi Kev, This was a joint project with my son and he wrote to the Steam Packet some years ago. The upshot was we were shown round the Ben when she was in Douglas. Our source material was a techical diagram available on the net and a series of photographs from which we had to do scale calculations (not always successful). Very much trial and error, more the latter I think.
Nice looking model of the Ben. Can I enquire as to where you sourced the plans for a build. I approached her builders but they went bust some time ago. I'm in the process of a scratch build of the side loader 1972 TSMV Mona's Queen in 1:96. Hoping to get to the IOM for the Manannan model boat in 2013.
