HMS Warspite 1/72 scale - Launch (part 3 of 6)

Part 3 - Launch at watermead lake

Colin Vass demonstrates the problems of launching a fully ballasted 1/72 scale model by himself. The model is approx 9ft long and weighs 86 kilo's

The footage is a little jumpy as we are on a working slipway, so plenty of model boats and full size boats being moved around.
