Looks great, I like it a lot.

Have saved these pictures as well showing the details this will definitely help my build

Well after using a nice new paintbrush as a duster I would say she's ready for the pond tomorrow

VERY nice boat, Terry!

Photos look good have saved them for when I start building mine the pictures will be a great help. Not saying my kit is old but all the drawings and dimensions are in proper units in inches not mm.

very nice!

Well after a 130 mile round trip here's a couple of quick photos

Scratchbuilder I am 75 now but recall when the licorice was the real thing & quite the diuretic. I was precocious back then, thought i shud become a urologist.

I’ll be looking forward to that bit then

If I remember the winch system on Bugsier was an interesting and enjoyable sub assembly....

Would that be the Fodens opposite SS Radio? Sherbert space ships were two for a penny I think Blackjacks were four for a penny..

What!!!!!! For going to buy a penny dainty😂

Gosh, ten shillings buys you a lot of penny chews😁😁😁

Roy,
Amazon shows licorice torpedos for sale ....

Hope you enjoy your new acquisition.

“If you can keep the sweat shop image going”

I remember when I was a boy staying with my Aunt and Uncle in Wallasey.
Used to go to the local sweat shop called Fodens and get 12 licorish sticks for one old penny.
Usually we’re very sick after 😂😂😂

A nice Tug, is it already made or a kit.
I have a kit to build which is model no 3 in line to be built. Would be interested to see some close up pictures.

I m 72 and I do have the same feeling. So no problem you are still ok

I am sure you are right but I think I have just found a source of multi coloured licorice comforts I shall of course review them!
Roy

Roy best place for licorice sticks. Holland and Barratt

When we had more exhibitions than we have now there was always a Bugsier 3 sometimes disguised but as they went on sale in 1974 there must be a lot about. The hull is from Plura plastic and was the first kit to use this material.

I must'nt get too enthusiastic as there are 2 kits I have so far left unstarted.
Roy

Nice model. I had one a few years ago...

Hi if you can keep the sweetshop image going you should have an enjoyable and long life. And at your tender young age, so nice to hear!

I am still going to the sweetshop and they still have things I want.
I too have a Bugsier3, unfinished, it has been there for quite a while now. I pick up odd items that will fit in with the yet to build boats and think of all the other craft waiting to come out and join the fun.

To more serious things anyone know who still sells licorice torpedos or similar name licorice comforts? Not had any since I found a shop in Australia and bought what they had left.

regards
Roy

Oooh happy day's, 😊 looking forward to seeing some photos 📸
