edulop,
We look forward to seeing you projects.

Martin555.

Thank you very much! I will present my projects in the near future!👍

Peter, Your so right! LOL!

But, in reality it's only 1 pair! LOL!

So, Now I need a boat for my Kort Nozzles! LOL!

Cheers, Ed

Hum? I smell another project brewing!.........

Hi Edulop,

No the Kort Nozzles comes with the kit!
I haven't measured then But, I believe they are 50mm Nozzles
They are of a very good quality mode!

What I did was I purchase the Happy Hunter along with the other items needed!
I purchase the Motors from Krick!
And the Bow Thruster!
Oh, And the Fittings Kit also!

Later, I will take a picture of the contents!

Cheers, Ed

BTW, A very nice kit!

Don’t ask Ed about nozzles. I think he ordered so many that he can no longer enter his apartment.😬😬

Hi Ed!
I’m sorry to bother you, but could you take a picture of the contents of the Happy Hunter boxes and the kits?
Thank you for your assistance and help in advance!
Best regards!👍

Hi Ed!
Did you have to buy the nozzles separately, or do they come with the hull kit?
The description of the kits is not very clear and I need a nozzle kit. Engines, helmet and propellers I have.
Thank you for your assistance and help in advance.
Best regards.👍

Hi Nerys,

Perhaps we'll meet some day!

I've been into radio since I was 9 years old!

My Oldest brother put on the radio sort of like third party traffic!

And I been on it since!

Perhaps one day soon!

Cheers, Ed

Well done figtree, I took the Foundation course as a radio ham a few years ago and Alice has had her full licence since she was a teenager, perhaps we'll meet on air sometime.

Cheers, Nerys

Thanks Martin!

Well, I'll try!

Cheers, Ed

Ed,
You will definitely have to keep your computer on the bench that way you won't forget to update your log LOL!!
Great to see you active on the site again.

Martin555.

Hi Cash,

I never thought of that!👍

But, not sure the Wife would agree to it! LOL!👎

Regards, Ed

Hi Ed. Just move the fridge, tv, computer and bed near your workstation.. except for bathroom breaks and showers, you’d never have to leave the bench!! You could have her done in say, six months tops.😁
Have fun with her Ed!!
Cadh

Good Morning Cash,

Unfortunately, I don't have the right camera! So I can't take any pictures yet!
And I'm presently taking a course on my new Amateur Radio! That's another one of my hobbies!

But, As soon as I get my camera I'll start my blog!

Thanks, for the interest and I'm looking forward to Blogging the build of the Happy Hunter!

It should be a lot of fun!

And a lot of details.........

Regards, Ed 👍

PS, As you can tell by these pictures!
I really need a camera! LOL!

PPS, Cash, I got the whole entire thing!
I've got the Happy Hunter Salvage Tug Kit,
The Fittings Set Happy Hunter,
The Power Set Happy Hunter,
Plus the Cort nozzle!
It should take me about 2 years to complete!
Or less all depending on how much I work on her!

I'll start my Blog as soon as I start the build!
But, I plan On taking my time with it!

Ed-

Hi Peter.
I thought your signature went at the bottom of the post not at the end of the sentence LOL!!

Martin555.

I started Najade yesterday by building the stand. I will improve the design later as there is no doubt that it will fall apart during the build due to weak joints. I will start a build log soon but don’t tell Martin as I told him that I would finish something before starting another.😁😁

Social distancing? Ha! If the boats were cars it would have looked like mating season in a wrecking yard🤣🤣

Hi Cash,

Oops! sounds like you boats ignored the social distancing rule LOL!!

I look forward to your build logs so it dose not matter if it is the Grimmershorn or the SAR just keep them coming.

Martin555.

Right now I’m not really building anything, but I am rebuilding. My SAR Herta Jeep had an..altercation earlier this year, my buddy JP and I had gotten very far out and close to one another with our boats..he was runnin his old Kitty II, me the SAR. Long story short we zigged when should have zagged and his boat ran up the side of mine, and pushed my superstructure completely off the magnets then into the water, where it sunk. Now, JP has the last new SAR kit sold in the US, as I checked the shop just minutes after he bought the kit and they were out, never to return. Sometime after that we had our little dance on the lake. JP is a good builder, but he doesn’t LIKE to build…so we made a deal. I’ll build a new superstructure for my old hull, get it ready for radio install, and I’ll get his kit…this was in addition to me trading him my Acapulco. I’m scratch building the new superstructure from plastic sheet, it will no have the bridge up top but I think it will look good once done. Then I have to xchoose between gettin the Grimmershorn back on the bench or starting the new SAR build….
Oh..I got my old Crackerbox back from a buddy, gonna see how she runs with an outrunner installed instead of a 27 turn stock motor..

Hi Peter. That Najade looks like a fun build, in the videos I’ve seen of her she handles power well, think you’ll have fun with her. I’m very glad that Krick has brought back a number of the old Robbe line, the Paula IV I just finished is a Krick (ROmarin) boat. Built up a little different from the original Paula I built last year, but it’s a nice kit and I’m pleased with it. Wish someone would bring back some of the old Graupner line like Krick done with Robbe. Anyhow, please start a build log so we can see how you get along with her, and how she builds up.

Hi Ed! Looking forward to to seeing the Happy Hunter build log. What accessories and or special features do you plan to add? The Hunter is a boat I’ve had my eye on for a very long time, unfortunately I have a ton of kits stashed now, so I just can’t seeing adding another to the pile…yet.
Let me know when you get started I’ll be watching with interest.
Cash

Hi Peter,

And you thought you were retired! LOL!

Your now a professional model builder!

Cheers, Ed

Excellent Peter,
Lots for us to look forward to.
Happy retirement.

Martin555.

As promised to you some time ago, I really am trying to finish the Police Launch and make solid progress on Dusseldorf before Christmas.........Honest!!😀
Then there is.............
Najade.
HMS Hood.
Tamar Class Lifeboat.
Huntsman 31
Diva.
46" RAF Tender
All to make a start on. I have years of projects here. On top of these I have the PTB refurbishment and the Gato Submarine to finish. Thank the Lord I am now retired.😊😀😀

Hi Peter,
Sounds like another couple of good build logs on there way.

I do hope that MIR dose get to make another boat.
I am here if any help is required.

Martin555.

I have just purchased the Krick Najade motor yacht. It comes complete with rather a nice brushless motor.
MIR might buy the same model which I think will suit him as it is a reasonably straight forward model but has elements of difficulty thrown in for good measure. It would be his second boat so I think would be a good choice. His first turned out really well which Martin had a lot to do with.😀
Peter.

Hi Rick,

Thanks!

I definitely plan on taking as much time as I need!

This model should turn out to be a very nice build!

Cheers, Ed

Will be watching ED. Do take your time.
Rick

Thanks, Martin!

I'm really looking forward to the build!🎁

Cheers, Ed

That is great news Ed,
I am looking forward to your build log already.

It dose not matter how long your Happy Hunter takes to build i will be following.

Martin555.

I think everyone knows that my medical problems have made me very lethargic about finishing off the two boats I have under construction. We started to make up the keel for the barge a day or two ago, but ran out of resin, so no doubt that will be fitted shortly, the leeboards have to be fitted and a couple of minor jobs and if we don't spend too much time flitting around in the camper, she'll be up and running quite soon. The LST has had a little damage to the superstructure, something dropped on her, but apart from that, it's a question of making her look rusty and battle hardened. Then trials , for ballasting, in the upstairs test tank. As you may gather, Alice is lending a hand.
However, things are ever ongoing and I have purchased a nearly finished 44" sailing barge, built to racing standards and, I don't know what to call it, but a little kit that came from Ebay, (China), about 6" long complete with motor, TX, RX, cost less than £7 has two paddle wheels etc. I suppose it will best be described as a water bug, but pics and comments when I get round to building it.

Cheers, Nerys

Well I am still working on the Fletcher, but I also re-fitted the USS Jimmy Carter SSN-23 and she ran trials after a 6 year drying out period.
