Somehow I can see Greenpeace attacking that idea! I can however see there being some disaster at some point, no matter how stable they make a ship, the sea always wins! Ship Builds on the go

True, but you could build all your other models inside it.. What about 1/400 scale?

I wouldn't get too excited as its unlikely you'll ever see it as a partwork, and even as a plastic kit it would have limited mass market appeal.

Hi all, Extract from the above article: Quote:But there has been opposition from environmentalists. Martin Pritchard from Environs Kimberley says he is concerned about the potential for "oil leaks and spills". Uuhhh????? .... I may be wrong on this and please correct me if I am, but if they are drilling for "Natural Gas" .... where does "OIL leaks and spills" come into it????  _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Regards ...

whilst drilling they may go through small oil fields which would leak into gas fields and mix with gas. Current builds: SotS, USS Consitution, San Felipe, D51 loco, HMS Surprise, RB7, Arab Dhow, Jotika HMS Victory Completed builds: HMS Pickel, Thermopylae, Mississipi river boat, Mary Rose, Cutty Sark, San Francisco II, HMS Victory x5, Titanic Lifeboat, Panart HMS Victory Launch, Hachette Titanic, Virginia Schooner, Endeavour Longboat. http://www.model-space.com/gb/

Hi Karl, Quote:whilst drilling they may go through small oil fields which would leak into gas fields and mix with gas. ...of course, silly me, thanks for that and apologies for having such a 'blonde' moment, though it was rather late at night when I wrote it!! Love your builds by the way!! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Regards ... Kev
