Here we have a "Video log" of Nordkap 476 - a Bllling Boats kit of a deep water trawler from the 1970`s .
Built by Buxton Model Boat Club member Adria Lucas

From a design concept incorporating an old power boat destined for the rubbish tip ! - to a functional Camera platform to capture some of the fantastic models that sail at our local venues.

The emerging creation ( all be it rough and ready !) will incorporate rotating fan motor and 360 degree rotating camera with live feed FPV camera.

My enjoyment is to capture the the skill, time and effort that fellow modelers put into their creations - whether they be they scratch built, own designs, kit sets or off the shelf.

As Requested :- Link to previous Camera Boat (SwampDawg)

Time for a new camera boat to emerge - Will it meet my 5 criteria ? !

Just for fun !

Brian Clewes brought along a nice example of his scratch built Master Hand retired fishing boat, for a sail. When larger more powerful mechanised boats were introduced this type was abandoned. Many were rescued and turned into pleasure / racing type craft and that is what this model depicts. Not seen for some years but is ageing well. The static pics will be of interest to any modeller considering making a scale sailing ship of this type. I did film some video and will share this later when edited.

This small model puffer was acquired some years ago and with little work brought back to a sailing condition. Due to size it is only possible to sail in calm waters.

Sailing and filming at the same time can be a challenge ! . But when local club member Graham sourced some cheap FPV equipment, things became easier to get in frame before hitting "REC" on the Gopro.
Music is - "Smile" from Bensound

Here we have a selection of boats sailing amongst the autumn colours at the "Pavilion Gardens Lake " Buxton, Derbyshire in early October 2021.
Music is from Bensound - "The lounge".

Final trials for my Gaff Rigged Bristol Pilot Cutter , started life as a static display model which I adapted for " Radio Control " . She is seen here on trial checking balance / trim /steering and simple sail control.
Certainly no claims here on scale or workmanship ! - just a " fun and functional " model which more than satisfies my initial challenge ! .

View from on board my Cutter sailing on the Pavilion Gardens lake in Buxton last weekend.
The video is running slow at 70% speed as I think it looks better at that speed.
