Having lived on a converted motor torpedo boat, we wanted to commemorate our experience by commissioning Steve Park to produce a model of M.T.B. 98 as she would have been during active service. Many original features still existed, but we were most impressed by the painstaking authenticated research that was undertaken by Mr Park prior to commencing the work.
At a size of just under a metre in length, he produced a result far beyond expectations. The stage by stage photographs were fascinating. The model now takes pride of place on our sitting room, set on the wall, within a glass case provided as part of the presentation. It is a delight to be able to switch on the light in the wheelhouse and admire his amazing attention to detail. There we can see the controls for the three engines, a clock, barometer, handrails, the speaking tube, fire extinguisher and oilskins hanging on the wall. The bridge above even has binoculars resting on the ledge.
Expressing his superb craftsmanship, Steve Park is the ultimate model ship builder.
