HI all. Thought you might like some of the bits I made. it will be cable steering, the rudder extension is a prototype and will be redesigned if it works. Servo mount looks cool.

Scratch built Galleon, RC (someday)
I have a LONG way to go on this project, but, what the hell, it's something to do! 😉

Stardust
HI fellow model leers.this is my latest model.Built in 1926' for the Ffyfe(bananas) family. Originally it was run on steam,but in 1939 converted to diesel,this was kept until 1957 when all the staterooms were replaced by cargo holds . She was then made into a feeder bringing eleven thousand boxes from Rotterdam to Southampton. She was scrapped in the seventies.my model of her was from 1926 the scale is approx 1/30th her length is 48 inches including bowsprit, and has a beam of 10 inch amidships. She is totally scratch built, plank on frame, all the decks are individually planked with black card in between , wheel house and all other parts are mahogany. She runs on a decaperm geared motor @ 6 volts, and the lighting system consists of 10 accommodation lights, port and starboard , wheelhouse, and both mast headlights,the large saloon skylight is also lit up with a set of disco lights on a separate circuit. The funnel houses a heavy duty smoke unit switched on by switching unit.

- seafarerPetty Officer 1st Class💭 Hi Chiefpurser, Stardust looks really good, did you have problems with buoyancy, and how much does it weigh, how do you transport and launch such a big model?
Looks a good pool, where do you sale?Liked by Brightwork - ChiefpurserLeading SeamanHI thanks for the comments. No problems with buoyancy only 6oz lead to bring her upright, a bit tender but will be adding a further 16 oz of ballast before next outing. She will weigh 18 lbs. transport is not a problem back seat of the car. Lifting and lowering into lake with two strops. This is not really a big model. I have one at 58 inches. We sail in several locations in Scarborough, North Yorkshire. My next model is already on the stocks and will be a jet boat a bit like a super doper cabin cruiser, own design and scratch built as per stardust. Regards jim

Thames Barge - 'Kitty'
Just a few photos of my first scratch built model. Although it is supposed to be a simple model to make (according to the plans) I am finding it to be quite a challenge.
I am sure my experienced Club members (CADMBC) will pass on advice when required. Ian

- RoyLorentzAble SeamanAs I strongly favour scratch building, this "first time" build looks like an outstanding effort, well done.
I bet it will look "magic" when completed.
Very best wishes,
Frank Wadsworth
👍 - RockbagMidshipmanThank you Frank, I have now added the facility for the false keel and also the prop shaft. Progress is slow as I am in the process of selling my Mothers flat and it is also pretty cold working in my garage at the moment. I will add a few more piccies as soon as I start to add the deck. Regards, Ian

at last I took it for its first run on the lake and it went like a dream,can't tell you how good it looked lots of interest from others,its running on twin Emax EL4030/10 motors,two Hobbywing 60 brushless speed controllers and four 18.5 volt 5s1p LI polymer 4000 mah 35c batteries .what can I say but a really good kit from speed line models,would love to build the trent now but don't think the wife would let me go missing for another year in the shed but fingers crossed
