mike bonds models
« on: 04 June 2009, 14:53:57 »

The collection of model boats by the late Mike Bond.
 Mike Bond was a well known model ship builder who produced reviews of kits for many model boat magazines world wide, and for many years was the lead modeller of the model ship building team that exhibited at many shows across the U.K.
 This model ship collection is from the models that he built and wrote the reviews that have been published.
  Mike was a great friend for very many years and we have been asked by his widow and daughters to dispose of his collection. All funds raised in the sale of these models will go to his family.
 The full range of ships can be seen in person by appointment at the Deans Marine showroom..
 Brief details are given on each model and a range of close up pictures will be availble on request from Deans Marine on individual models
 A  C/D  of  high  resolution pictures and detailed close ups is also available for a donation of £5.00 + postage.
 All proceeds again will go to mikes Wife and Daughters.
 Price shown an be considered a reserve, please make any offers to Deans Marine at deansmarine@yahoo.co.uk
   Regards
