Just a short video of Ian Pott's recently completed Model Slipway Tamar lifeboat. Looks and sounds good with action sound unit

1/12th scale Guard lifeboat still not finished still havent painted the cockpit thats why the blue window but just couldnt wait to see it on the water. Powered by twin Pittman motors it has six low profile 12v batteries mounted below the waterline to aid in its self righting.

This is the Metcalf kit and it has taken approximately two years to build!
It had its maiden voyage on Monday 8th July.
It is powered by two Speed 720 motors and a 12 volt battery.
It is sailed on Cheddar Model Boat Club lake in Somerset.

Apologies for the blurred pictures of the boat on the water.
Not easy trying to use 35mm SLR with telephoto lens and radio control at the same time.
More boat details to folloe.

Scratch built from plans in 1989, will come out of retirement in a couple of weeks after getting a good overhaul.

Steve

just adding the little final touches and other small fixings. any tips on what sort of glue to use to fix all the small bolt heads around the rear deck main hatches? istarted the build last august so it has taken me 10 months to 99% complete the build including the Y boat,but still not had it in water yet but very soon

Built in 1987 from drawings obtained from Virgin Atlantic, 48 inches long (can not remember what the scale is). Will post more details later.
