Based on the US Coast Guard 36' motor lifeboat, the Canadian Coast Guard operated a number of these boats modified for cold weather operation. The model is a fiberglass hull, the reat is scratchbuilt using baltic birch wood, brass, and plastic. The model measures 28" based on the scale 3/4 inch equals a foot. it's powered by a 6 volt Dumas motor and operated with a 2 channel radio. A fun build!

I've just been given this fiberglass hull and am wondering if anybody can recognise what it might be please .
It's 71cm overall with a beam of 23cm.
Any information appreciated

Not your typical submarine but certainly an unusual semI submersible. Scratch built by fellow club member Brian Clewes this is a most striking looking vessel. Fiberglass hull and moulded perspex window. Home built waterjet uses a large 900 (I think) brushed motor, water cooled speed controller and 14.4v LiPo. Looks really spectacular on the water and Brian is working on the ballast to enable the model to remain just submerged. Video to follow in due course.

this hydroplane had to have major work done to strengthen both sponsons internaly as well as filling with expanding foam,this stops it from sinking in the event of a flip over and to put a little weight in the front to help keep the nose down.
fitted a tuned wrap to center pipe,water pump and also added extra fiberglass on the bottom because this was so thin it was flexing at speed and was hitting the bottom of the engine!!!!!. re-painted it too and put my own choice of graphics on.
I fitted the pulse water pump because I wouldn't be running flat out all the time and needed to cool the engine at lower rpm's,and the pulse water pump would do just that with twin inlets and outlets to keep the exhaust and engine head cool.

This tug boat is almost finished, she is based om my fiberglass hull. Power is 2x Speed 700, lenght is 104 cm

I just finished this ship, based on my Fiberglass hull. Ship is powered by 3x Speed 600 with gearboxes 3:1

This model was built from scratch except for the fiberglass hull, using styrene. The drives are Graupner VSD's and the 10 fire monitors are powered by BMW windshield washer pumps. The radio is a Spektrum DH 6 with a twin stick modification and fitted with a switch 8 to individually operate the monitors.

This tug is in scale 1:25, used two 900 motors. Still need a lot of details. Models are based on my own fiberglass hull

This tug is based on my own fiberglass hull. She is 91 cm long, two Schottle drives with Speed 900 motors
