TT57 Maryeared


TT57 Maryeared

For the sake of doing something that wasn't thousands of tons, steel-hulled and painted red, and because TT57 had been mentioned at some point, this wee thing was painted this week. It's not a commission, so I'm not going to bother finishing it - I've done all the bits I like doing and this was DIY therapy after all. Cheaper than a holiday.
Painting the odd wooden hull is good for the soul, especially if you're beginning to see offshore ships in your sleep.

How do you pronounce MARYEARED?



    brilliant!!! :idiot2:

    Cracking bit of video, it's going to be good for keeping me right on the details in future. I hope. That first Maryeared has a lot more material online that the current TT57. I could only find three photos on Flickr, and not many here or on Trawler Photos.
