A while ago in Rufforth I found a mucky toy boat. Ten bob later, the fixer upper came home.
It reminded me a bit of a plastic ship I had at Butlins as a kid, here in my little mitts far right.
A bonus was the maker, the mark, a tiny circle with the words, among others, Tudor Rose!
Very grubby, missing most of its small bits and bobs and with a few bridge cracks too, I firstly gave the main hull a good wash ....
I then glued the bridge supports and added a few oddments from my bits drawer. I couldn't find an original picture so I improvised.
Good fun using my sea legs again, see what you think.
Have you any toy boats or ships?
Definitely not a toy boat fan myself, but appreciate your efforts immensely.
