Mk2 RTTL 2771
Upgraded to Brushless 2x1100kva Turnigy motors, Scratch built 1/24 scale. I've included a photo of a real one, just in case somebody else tells me the colour scheme is wrong, East of Gibralta they where white. I'm sitting on the engine hatch nearest the camera, that was 1969

Norfolk Wherry
Some pictures of my Dad's Norfolk Wherry seen here at Eton Park, Norwich. it will be featured in September 2018 "Model Boats" magazine along with his mates Wherry.
It is about 4ft long note my 3ft 72nd scale Corvette looks small next to it.

I also bought a set of plans from the preservation society so it seems we'll have the makings of a fleet soon!Very nice indeed, it looks like 'Albion",which I had the pleasure of looking around at Oulton Broad; it's an excellent model.

Marblehead all set to go
The owners of this sailboat are putting it in the water today after nearly a year in the repair shop. Should go like a graceful greyhound.
I will post more photos as they come to me.

- lesliebreameChief Petty Officer 1st Classyes, my mate has added a lot of weight on top compared with the original so consequently has ended up a bit lower in the water. Bob was firing up his Explorer next to me and couldn't get the radio to work as he had plugged the servo into the wrong slot!!yes, my mate has added a lot of weight on top compared with the original so consequently has ended up a bit lower in the water.

Enterprise 6
This was a scratch build from plans that I have had for along time. I have modified the plans to suite a boat similar to the Ocean Alexanda. She is 1380mm long and 310mm wide, driven by two 2150kv brushless moters. This boat took me 18 months to complete,and now is ready for her maiden voyage. Will let know how she performs.

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralVery nice👍Very nice👍 Where are the Bikini Babes? Still inside changing? 😉 Have also been thinking of such a trailer, handy for launching on our stony sloping shores here. Was prompted by watching several launches and recoveries on Lake Garda northern italy recently. Cheers, Doug 😎

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralGreat minds think alike Haig👍Great minds think alike Haig👍 I've been wanting to have a go at Z38 for a long time. Those 1936 / Narvic classes had nice lines. Sea keeping wasn't so hot in the originals apparently! Like the 'scope idea, will try it on my U26. Saves having to break into the pressure hull👍 Which was always my biggest problem on COMMS system designs for 'toys' for the 'big boys'; minimising the hull breakthroughs! With such a simple float how do you make it so 'free running' that it doesn't bind? Cheers, Doug 😎

On that one there are two sets of two. if the periscope tubes slide easily and the float is big enough then it will work.

On that one there are two sets of two. if the periscope tubes slide easily and the float is big enough then it will work. I have used aluminium tubes on the HMS Triumph. The U boat scopes are both aluminium. They are loose so I can put one or both in before sailing. The floats are balsa wood and painted for sealing.

First we have to get the damn things to DO the work, and do it RIGHT!
The department printer would always go kaputt on Friday evening when I wanted to print a 130 page system description and the courier was stamping up and down outside 😡
