Here I go staring a new thread
Just started my Air sea rescue diorama
First the 44 foot Waveney class life boat to go with my RAF Rescue Seaking

Brilliant Gary! it still amazes me that despite being on an Island our lifeboats rely on charity. Very brave men as are the men of the Air Sea Rescue well deserving of a model tribute!

Totally agree with our Phil. The up-keep of these boats and staff members should be met by the Government - The work they carry out is a vital service, and one of the more dangerous ones to boot, this applies to the aircrews also. Very nice tribute like Phil says, keep it coming Gary

I'm somewhat ignorant with regards to the subject matter,
but use the word "diorama" and I'm hooked!!

This is great! I'm aboard to see what you come up with. In Finland along with the Coast Guard sea resque is partially done also by voluntary SAR (Search and Resque) patrols - a charity organization too.

GARY, this looks like it'll be a superb model of a very worthy subject!

Nice add-on to the Sea King, Gary. Can't wait for this one to hit the downloads. I need all the boat-building practice I can get.

Wow Gary she's coming along really well,and fast!.I'm looking forward to seeing her finished and on the base.I hope in your busy design schedule you can find time for a few of the older boats and maybe the older ASR helicopters Wessex and Whirlwind
as well.
