heirflick Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Saw this fantastic model of Fort Camden a while back at an exhibition in Dún Laoghaire. It depicted the fort in its heyday as a coastal deference instillation. The level of detail is stunning especially the cliff guns, the Brennan torpedo and the Vospers MTB! Definitely worth a look ....... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRich Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Fantastic modelling all of it. There is the Military modelling the narrow gauge railway the maritime modelling is particularly eye catching especially the water. I love the light house and cottages there is so much crammed into that diorama and yet it really captures spaciousness. What is really interesting is the rendering of the stone with it's texture and colour particularly when you look at the the real stone wall behind the gent sitting. Thanks for sharing those amazing pics Seamus they are modelling gold. Rich, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WRENNEIRE Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Heard a story about the boat in the third last pic, The Kerlogue. Apparently it picked up some German sailors from a sunken U Boat somewhere in the Bay of Biscay The British Navy asked them to bring them to a UK port to be handed over to the RN The boat continued on to Ireland and the prisoners ended up in the curragh I think Some weeks before the war ended the boat straffed by 2 Spitfires, piloted by Polish pilots They thought it was an enemy boat Dont mess with the RN! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heirflick Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Were the pilots blind not to see the Irish flag painted on her side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
