oakley solent rother lifeboat plans

HI Bill
Yes I do have my plans and the build booklet but really they are not much use as all the parts were marked out on the wood provided and the plan just shows where everything goes.
The difficult part is the hull and as you already have this the rest is fairly simple.
I have helped people in the past and provided pics of my model plus a copy of the building leaflet which is much easier to understand than the outline plan.
As there are many pics the file size is too large to email so a file sharing site is the best solution. I recently discovered dropbox and found their free offering sufficient for purpose.
If you send me a pm with your email address I will give you access to the file. You can then store it on your dropbox account or download to your computer. 😀
Live long and prosper

Hiya Dave.
I have been given an Aerokit Solent Lifeboat. the Hull is nearly complete and the rest of it is totally unmade. Unfortunately the plans are missing (it has been lying in a garage for I do not know how long).
If you still have the plans for your boat, would it be possible to have them copied. I would obviosly pay any costs,
Bill.

HI Nige52
Yes the model is still for sale. I am advertising for a fellow club member.
You can contact Jack Astbury in Biddulph ST8 by phone:
01782 513024 or email
jackastbury81@hotmail.com.

I am sending a private message, as under Fireboat rules contact details are not allowed on the Forum.
I have just spoken to Jack so he knows you have enquired.

Thanks for your interest.
Kind regards
Dave Melville

re fireboat

hI if I can help you at all let me know, I have some plans and lots of info on the boats, I have just had a peep at your site so I now know you are a modeler not someone asking a load of questions then buying a rc car, so if I can help in any way let me know, I spotted you are in to vinal graphix , have you got any ond machines you can convert to cnc cutter, I saw one done some time ago and it was great for plasticard just replaced the cutter with a high speed dremel.
I do some with a cnc 9very basic at present) and will do more as soon as I can use it properley I have also just got a small gantery unit to do the same with brass.
so let me know if you need help with fireboats.

Which one do you want? A Solent is 48' long and a Rother is 37' long. They're completely different boats. I'm guessing the 48' Solent here for the Aerokits boat - in which case you're out of luck unless someone has a copy of the original kit ones.

Cheers
