Originally scratch built in 1:50 scale using plans drawn from photographs. Obtained copy of Constructors Drawings to verify dimensions and details (dated 1959) and completed 4 more display models (scratch built). Rescaled all my drawings and plans to 1:32 scale. Computer Designed and 3D Resin printed all fittings (winch, portholes, anchors etc.) verifying accuracy against photographs and drawing supplied by current restorers of actual vessel (Villiersdorp Vintage Tractor and Engine Club). Designed and produced 2 1:32 Scale Model Kits (including hull, laser cut structural elements, all fittings etc.). I've just completed a "proof build" on one of the kits to verify accuracy and fit of all components.
