My model of Soclaine (MGS) Built in 1985. Trawler kit originally called le Zenith 1/24 Scale. My name change is in memory of our beautifull daughter who went to heaven just over four years ago. Anyhow model is beautifull on the water powered by Como MFA 919 Series Electric Motor.
All power is from a lead acid 12 volt battery,lights, running gear . Using a simple set up of two channel Planet T5 Radio.
I sail the boat at Rutherglen Boat Club Glasgow. The weight of this boat is really awesome and I kept adding lead untill it was nearly Impossible to lift,must be getting soft in me old age.. 👍 lol Deck crane is made from odds n ends and an addition..IAN

Lady Wooes, by Mobile Marine of Lincoln. SemI kit. I bought the hull all the timber and drawings along with dozens of white metal fittings ages ago, started it and left it for 5 years, moved to North wales and finished it. Drive is 2 Ford Cortina fan heater motors driving a pair of 55mm Prop Shop props by tank steering, reciprocating steam engine sound board, smoke unit and full working lights all from 2 X 12 v 7 Amp batteries........a good and interesting but very frustrating build to get things right.
Sailed at Erias Park, Colwyn Bay Model Boat Club and sometimes at West Shore LLandudno.

The tugs are towing the chantry club 16ft towboat, the two tugs are 1/32nd scale scratch built with 12 volt motors, they are The Vanquisher and The Dhulia, both River Thames tugs and in real life could be seen working together at Thames Haven oil terminals towing Tankers.

HI This is a Celia, I think, it was a caldercraft kit but am not sure. it is running on a 545 motor at either 6volt or 7.2volt with a 35mm 3blade brass prop. its performance is about right for the scale and type of boat. it sails at the Lake used by the Cwmbran Club. I bought it last year at the Shepton Mallet Show.

Yes this was a Caldercraft kit I built one and sailed it but not much room under the decks for your radio and batteries but really sailed well when set up right

I love this video, thought you might like to share it, taken at St Helens model boat club lake, which is Taylor Park, Prescot, St Helens, very early before anybody arrived, on a cold sunday morning!
Shortly after this video I changed the motor and prop, I never stop meddling! 😀

HI There, I like what you've done with the boat it looks great.
The boat my father had was lost in time but when we sold the house I came across the plans, little bit moth eaten but decipherable.
I want to start and rebuild the boat within this this year from totally zero but don't seem to find many "parts" for it.
I Like originality in looks but love new technology built in as well.
Is it possible to ask for some pictures that I can use for reference when building please.
Regards
Kobus
