Dock & Shoreside

the  basic master was produced by Kelvin Holmes and Mountford have done  additional detail work and  added certain features including brass photo etch parts and metal castings for the cranes. There is some  detailed brass photo etch involved and a highly detailed  resin casting for the superstructure.

Floating dry docks, particularly those used to service ballistic missile submarines, offer obvious strategic advantages. The USS Los Alamos was based at Holy Loch in Scotland from 1961 until struck from service in 1994, servicing US submarines and performing a hardly noticed but very important duty at that highly secret base. In a somewhat different form the dock is still in use today, back in the USA.

The  basic master was produced by Terry Holtham and Mountford have done  additional detail work and  added certain features including brass photo etch parts and metal castings for the cranes. Brass photoetched parts and a highly detailed resin casting for the superstructure has produced an interesting and well presented model that can be put straight on display.

New for 2013! An intermediate-sized drydock for repair and maintenance of frigates, ice breakers and nuclear submarines of the Soviet and Russian navies through the cold war and beyond. The model includes two different cranes and is fitted with warning notice decals. See also the larger PD-50 dock modelled by Coastlines. The full-hull submarine is not included with this model but similar submarines are made by Mountford and can be purchased from Antics.

The ferry quay at Leknes is the subject of this 1/1200 scale waterline model.It has been cast in resin by Coastlines Models  from one of a series of small wooden dioramas designed and built by John Mitchell and the late Sandy Feather to display a collection of 1/1200 and 1/1250 scale waterline ship models in realistic settings.
