- NerysFleet Admiral'Naiad' is an interesting concept of a very traditional design. I like her lines and it's good to see a good old gaff rigged boat being built today.
Likewise 'Emma', lovely old Bristol Pilot cutter, sailing well. You have some good boats at Buxton.

This is my first scratch build. I used hand tools and a jig saw to cut out the frame. and bulk heads. Keel and frame was cut out of plywood and the rest. of the boat is balsa. I out fitted with parts from various pieces I had pick up at hobby shops and suppliers online. The pilot house, stack and skylight is all hand made with wood and polystyrene fittings.
I downloaded the plans, altered the scale size and printed the hull and boat to scale. Again this was the first and I now am looking forward to another project.

- Graham93Vice AdmiralHi Martin,
Thanks for the reminder. I’ll do that later today.
As for ‘what’s next?’ That’s a good question. I’m taking a break from model building for the next few months. I need a break from it and there’s lots to do around the house and garden. I’ll be sailing when I can, but not building. Doesn’t stop me thinking about what’s next though. I have a few ideas 🤔

Edward M. Cotter
Today's weather was great for R/C model boat running & sailing in our favorite water hole the Hamilton Bay .The real Edward Cotter is a fireboat based in Buffalo New York & is also one of the oldest fireboats in the world . Near the end I almost had a disaster where I just touched the Ferry boat because I use a I-Phone to record videos & also run the models transmitter & some times I get distracted .

- MouldBuilderAdmiralBeautiful. Looking at Ted, he must have been pressganged.😬
- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralGood to see the boat with Graham there, gives an idea of scale. Quite a bit larger than I imagined but should handle the bigger stuff. Looks so realistic in the bow close-ups.
