Have fun and stay safe, Mr Pellson.
And I hope the de-stressing exercise accomplishes what you need it to.

Not what I'd planned on* ... But the idea has sent a tiny tendril of inspiration into my brain which may derail my previous concept.     




[*: And, for a change, I actually have had a plan! ... Bugger!  ... Curse you, Fred zenrat!    ]

My work here is done...

You'd of course need to construct a 1/35 section of pier.

I've had a thought! (I know, scary, right!  )

Glenelg beach has a very shallow tidal zone, so the water goes out quite a long way at low tide & it isn't very deep at high tide. So, a LCM would have to beach a fair way out from the high tide line, & that means a long slog through soft, sandy mud. Not ideal!

It might be more wise to use a LVT/am(ph)trak for a landing at Glenelg! ... Surprisingly, I just happen to have a couple in the Wombat Stash™! 

The Glenelg Jetty section may be a deal breaker, though. 

Glenelg Jetty, for the curious;



Second thoughts, maybe it isn't as far as I remembered.

If that's the sheet I think it is, be warned that the serials on the two NF36s have the letters transposed.  They should be both in the RL ranges, not LR (mk XIs).

[Gondor]

It could be Lee, as there is one with an LR serial and another two with serials starting with R. I will check them against references before I use them and correct as necessary if I use them as is.
