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.

A 1/1200 scale resin dock wall for replacement of one side of a Triang floating drydock. The photograph shows the unpainted drydock wall in situ on a grey drydock.

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.

This Freeport quay is the third of a series of five miniature dioramas devised by Sandy Feather and John Mitchen for collectors of miniature ship models who claimed that they had no space to display their ship collection in a realistic setting.. The Coastlines CL-LA11 model is a waterline resin caating with three buildings on the quay

This ferry terminal is based on a quayside inside the sea-lock at Tilbury Docks on the River Thames. It is a 1/1250 scale resin model with a shallow quay protected from flooding by a sea-lock by Coastlines Models, CL-LA12

New for 2013! A traditional-style motor yacht from the 1950s onwards.

A typical quayside attraction in a marina.

3 different tanks, based on liquified natural gas tanks although tanks now being built underground are larger. This set is painted light grey but Coastlines also make tanks in white & blue like those on Canvey Island.

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.

Ferry berths in the Canary Islands are protected by an artificial breakwater. This model is based on a pair of such berths in the Canary Islands where there are several examples. This 1/1250 scale waterline model has been produced by Coastlines models, CL-LA10.

A sistership of Sun Swale (London) but this was built and operated in France.
