MV Isle of Mull, Caledonian MacBrayne
If you are familiar with my page here, you’ll know that I primarily focus on scale modelling Scottish emergency services and buses. I have wanted to add to this for a while, wishing to add Scottish passenger ships and aircraft to the collection. I have plans, but haven’t bought the kit yet, to do a Loganair Twin Otter or similar. Ideally at some point I’ll have Glasgow Subway train models, to add to my Class 156 & 158 models. I am in the middle of a Eurocopter EC135 repaint into Scottish Air Ambulance livery (statutory - all over yellow, not the Charity service in green)
Pictured is a new arrival which fulfils the ship part of my plan. Bought from that well known online auction site is this 3D printed model of the MV Isle of Mull, which serves the Oban routes for Caledonian MacBrayne. The model is grossly out of scale compared to the rest of my collection, however it was bought with the intent of being background set dressing for Western Scottish and other West Coast bus & coach dioramas.
I am very happy with this model, I hope you enjoy the pictures. Please forgive the very cheap and nasty layout, I just painted sky and hills on cardboard and used a dressing gown as the water!
