3 men life boat - a reconstruction.

[Jos L C]

I've never seen a big life boat complete with all the gear, it made me curious.
So, begin last Summer I've decided to build one.
It's a 1:6 scale model, which means 50 cm long.
I've used empty soup cans, a rain coat and all what I could find and for measurements I used the RLM sheets.
Also studied quite some pics.
