John Bennett has already shared his photos of his model of the Caroline ship, Ross Revenge. This has prompted Mike Stewart, who has broadcast from the red-and-white ship, to send pictures of his own model Ross
MIKE SAYS: I was interested to see the model of the Ross Revenge on your great web-site and thought you might like to see the one that I have constructed using the very same model. I hope that you like it, as you can see a lot of work has gone into getting it as near accurate as possible. The main pictures, as you can see, are of one ship in almost finished condition. I have, in fact, made two and they are both now finished and look great if I do say so myself. (See photo below) The first one I am going to keep, the second I intend to put on e-bay. I spent a lot of time on the Ross and did quite a few broadcasts from the ship i.e., several RSLs and also probably the last time she broadcast illegally from inside British waters. They were great days and I miss the ship and all those involved at the time greatly. My health stops me going to stay on the ship now but making the models has brought back a lot of great memories, looking at photos of the Ross, etc, to help in making the models. Keep up the good work with your site it's well worth it LA and kindest regards,Mike Stewart |
