    Ahoy Dave
    I have a bunch of them I will be posting a few more here I am happy to share these here. On most of my plank and frame builds I fibre glass the hulls and seal the insides with resin. if you dont over the passing of time the planks will seperate and you will have to do the the job all over again. thank you for your reply Boats

    It is nice to see some super new models on the site and I hope that we will see more as I expect that deckape has many more, as he has been modelling a long time.

    I look forward to seeing them, a little request, can you increase resolution so that we can see the detail a bit more.

My Fireboat and Seaplane tender in the picture foreground, more can be seen in my new RIB video in the gallery.

Aerokits Fireboat at St. Helens MBC 07/11/10
Bit of fun with a video camera on my restored 1960's fireboat at my home club St. Helens MBC. had to be really carefull with the throttle and rudder sticks so the whole lot didnt end up upside down due to the camera position...

34" fireboat built 1965 restored late 2009 by me
running graupner 8.4v speed 600 on 8 cells (9.6v).

love the way the boat is in and out of shadow and sunlight throughout the video

    many thanks to you both.
    At this time I have no idea of the weight except to say that from what I can gather from looking at the rudder that this boat seems to from the sixties/seventies, and is quite a substantial vessel.
    She is undergoing a major refit.( spent the day rubbing down the inside of the hull, and removing paint from the toerail to the carlings.
    This looks like being a long job.

    if its "that old" and is a 60's/70's built model that had an I.C. engine fitted..
    I would recommend you "glass-cloth" the outside of the hull..

    models built during this period tend to have been built with bio-degradeable glue! (cascemite/ boneglue. etc.) show it water for the first time in 40 years and your boat will revert to kit status and basically become unstuck! if the wonky glue doesn't do it then the diesel/glow fuel used in the 60's will have undone all the joints from the inside-out anyway!

    enjoy your restorations and read as much as you can on here

Two Nor-Star Boats at Crealy
Two restored Nor-Star boats- a Wave Princess and Wave Rider having a run at Crealy Park in Exeter.
The boats are E-Bay rescues bought back to life by Kalamunda. The video was made by Ianed57.

Vintage speedsters at Crealy.
These two boats were refurbished by Kalamunda. The first is a Lesro Sportsman and the second a NorStar Wave Rider. The Sportsman has a Graupner 700 on 8.6v and the WaveRider a brushless motor. The on board camera was arranged by Kalamunda and other video shot by Ianed57. The water is at Crealy, Exeter, the home of Exeter and District Model Boat Club.

    Very sad the fishermen have taken over Crealy lake. No more model boats.
  • ianed57Sub-Lieutenant
    It is indeed sad and these videos remind us of happy times spent there. We srtuggle to find a suitable alternative. As the old song says-'You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone!'.
