Been out of the hobby for about 10'years and started bilding the model slipway Tescos ll

Another Mersey ferry and another Royal Iris. This is 1:64 scale (3/16":ft), measures 29" long and weighs 11lbs. Powered by NiMH 6V batteries and Electronize 365-14 motors. it is fitted with either a self-contained sound system playing the 60's "Liverpool sound " music, or fitted with 12V NiMH batteries to illuminate the lights.

MEET MY POSH DUCK DAPA NOT A LOT TO SAY ABOUT THIS ONLY A MOMENT OF MADNESS WHEN WALKING ROUND THE GARDENING CENTER .

MR ROWEY MADE THIS A VERY LONG TIME AGO THE MECHANISM THAT WORKS THE PADDLES IS MADE FROM A WASHING MACHINE TIMER WORKS WELL ON THE WATER . AND YOU CAN JUST SEE HiS MATE INSIDE WITH HiM EDD THE DUCK THAT HE USELESSLY DRAGS ROUND WITH HiM.

THE BRUMA THIS IS A PANART KIT OPEN CRUISER YACHT ONE OF MY 1st MODELS THAT I MADE PLANK ON FRAME

TID TUG THIS BOAT BELONGS TO A FRIEND OF MINE IN MY CLUB BOATS NAME IS ALBERT RN

THIS IS MY US COAST GUARD BOAT THIS WAS A PART MADE KIT THAT I PICKED UP OFF EBAY AND HAD JUST TO FINISH.

Today Lulonga River steamer passed further navigation tests after replacing the ESC.(the new ESC are from HK...), working well,
The electronics work reliably, problems with stability again, but this time with a transverse stability. Since the superstructures that I built are quite heavy, and the model also has a flat bottom, so setting up a balanced position is very sensitive, and somehow I can not.
I try to stick around under the bottom of the line model, additional load.
Perhaps it will also help the exchange wheel

some more Lulonga photos (also other than the model) can be found atl) can be found at

First time in the water and under power. to get the correct trim (ect) I built a test tank from ply and lined it with polythene. To stat with There were two 12V lead acid batteries and the weight of the two motors, she just simply sat there, even the props were above water. After approx 30lbs more weight the correct water line was reached, the white line on the hull follows the sheer line of the main deck and isn't the true water line. So with the two batteries hooked up in parallel, the 12V Proboat Speed controller and the two Duma 12V motors as can be seen quite a good performance.

1/12 scale kit from Metcalf moulding the most difficult part on this model was the rudder section,you have got to get it right because once fitted the deck goes on and there is no turning back,it has 2 X 550 motors on 8.4 sails very well,not to fast but not to slow either,I sail at king Lear model boat club in leicester when I get a chance,lovely big lake all type of vessels on water,eg"
: steam,electric,ic yachts what ever you like

1mtr yacht built from deck level from a fibreglass hull I was given by a friend it has the number two rig on I am in the process of building the number two rig just waiting for a decent day to try it out

Completely scratch built using balsa wood and Mahogany strips for the decks and bridge and the free plan by James Pottinger issued in Model Boat Magazine November 1996. The plans were well drawn at a scale of 1:93 how ever I doubled the size by just transfering each measurement directly onto the wood and a few card patterns were made when panneling the hull.
Powered with twin 12 volt motors, two 12 volt lead acid batteries and two 1 3/4" props I am well sattisfied with the end result. A full build log with pictures can be found on the ''Leith built Ships" web site, or look under ''The Loftsman"
