My Smoke thing
A friend in the model boat club made a simple smoke generator so I decided I'd try .Use a small humidifier & powered U.S.D plug with 4 NMH batteries & installed it in a model I built a while ago. Some of my old style Graupner smoke generators don't work any more .

    !Great idea, I love it!🤔
    Is it something that remotely you can control or is it on at all the times?
    How long does it take to start smoking after you power it ?

    Good question I could put a switch in one leg of battery to turn the simulated smoke on & keep the switch on the unit one & the fake smoke will come on right away I think haven't tried out yet but its easy to turn on after putting main battery in & putting plain water in the humidifier tank .New plan took it to Spencer's pool & wire broke off U.S.B. plug .Rewired used battery port on Flysky Receiver which is about 6 volts to power up the humidifier & it worked .

Grand Banks Dory 16” Scale 1”
This model is a Laughing Whale kit I found on EBay. I made it for the wife because she want it to have a “Coastal motif” in our entertainment room.
Again I really hope is to your liking.
In these pictures you can see the sewing machine I bought so I could sew my own sails.

Nauticurso “Artur” Brazilian Fishing Boat Scale 1/32
Here we go again guys.
This is another model that Model Expo commissioned me to build because is a new model that they are selling and they need one for their model display showcase.
The name of this kit is “Artur”.
Artur is the most popular fishing vessel among Brazilian fishermen. Many are still active in Brazilian waters today.
Researching this vessel I found out that many other nations like Russia, Norway, and Switzerland also used it. This type of vessel was also used in WWII to fight against Hitler by carrying ammo for the French.
This kit has gone through many upgrades by Nauticurso (Brazilian model maker). The kit I built is their first version, so after researching I decided to replace or created many parts of my own.
It comes with the running hardware needed for full radio control operation. Instructions Model Shipways Inc. carefully translates manual into English containing many photos showing step-by-step assembly.
All pieces are laser cut Amazonian wood.
Length 25”
Scale 1:32
Guaranteed to bring lots of fun and challenging moments for newbies and experts.
Maybe you guys know more about this ship than me. If you have any information about this vessel, please share it, I will be very glad to hear it.
This is an old photo of the real ship; notice how it carries the lifeboats in the Pilots cabin deck.
I hope you guys like this model. It took me 6 months to finish it.

    "just one minor point which is Arthur has a H in it? "
    NOT in Portuguese, e.g. Brazil Gary (or several other non-English languages, e.g. Slavic, Celtic and Germanic) 😉

Artur fishing boat
I know a few guys have notice the weird name Artur without an “H”.
I did notice that when I built the model, but that is the name that Nauticurso want it to use, I guess in case someone wants to complaint because this same model has being distributed by other manufacturers.
Here is their official website with a picture of their model.
I agree with the rest of the guys in this forum but like I said, they want to name this ship without the “H”. 🙄

    Hi all, I noticed in a previous post on Artur the length mentioned as 22 inches. Both kits say 630mm which is 24.75 inches.
    Like the model though and a very nice build as well.

Friendship Sloop 1:12 scale
This my version of the Friendship sloop, also known as a Muscongus Bay sloop or lobster sloop, is a gaff-rigged working boat design that originated in Friendship, Maine around 1880 and has survived as a traditional-style sailboat.
This build is from an old Laughing Whale model and was given to me by the son of a great model builder that has passed away.
I know that this kit is r/c friendly but I did it as a static model.
Everything from the rub rails up is entirely scratch built. The Eagle figure head was hand sculpted.
Again I hope the model is to you guys’ liking.

    Saving this one for inspiration. I have that kit in very early construction and after many years it is suffering from multiple moves, no space to build and multiple moves. Will have more space soon and fewer distractions.

    Yours is a beautifully built model, which would be proud o any mantel or display shelf!

Galilee Boat
I also used the blue prints on the book by Shelley Wachsmann, "The Sea of Galilee Boat- An Extraordinary 2000 Year Old Discovery". This book also is a good source for creating many details added to the kit.
