AMPHITRUCK

Trying the fire fighting capabilities on a meths fired Macrocarpa leaf fire, (I forgot about the rotation function, which made it less effective,) but it still worked ok. On Board tank is only 500ml so doesn't last long.

Camera Boat - still emerging !

From a design concept incorporating an old power boat destined for the rubbish tip ! - to a functional Camera platform to capture some of the fantastic models that sail at our local venues.

The emerging creation ( all be it rough and ready !) will incorporate rotating fan motor and 360 degree rotating camera with live feed FPV camera.

My enjoyment is to capture the the skill, time and effort that fellow modelers put into their creations - whether they be they scratch built, own designs, kit sets or off the shelf.

As Requested :- Link to previous Camera Boat (SwampDawg)

old wooden clipper (removed the hatch cover)

I have taken the old wooden hatch cover off to find out what was inside there was something that moved around when you tilted the boat found the end of a hand made brass anchor and the remains of some sort of leaf or plant the joints are sealed with tar the inside has been carved out i find it very strange that the two items were sealed up inside i think it is very old possible the 1900

That's a great idea David, with space at a premium for me I have to stick to 1 of each model.
Cheers Colin.

Hi Mike.
glad that i could help i took the entire cabin off this evening as i had to fit a new sail servo and on turning the cabin section upside down spotted very small numbers on sections of the wood i then remembered all the years ago that the deck and cabin etc came all marked out so you just had to cut them out very easy the hull was very thin plastic type and was prone to cracking a few years ago i striped the lot down and pumped builders foam inside the hull manage to marsked of the servo and rudder section and it made the hull a lot firmer and was still light i plus i know that it won't sink

Best Regards
David

Skiers with extra large cajones

if you think Babs looked ok on skis, check these Aussie maniacs out ! Ski racing at over 100mph. Boats sound fantastic as well.

Hi Rick,
While attempting water skiing for the first in S. Africa many many moons ago I hit the water a few times at only 30+knots. And I can assure you the saying is very true - It feels like concrete!💥☹️ Mucho painful 😭

You are absolutely right.
When slaloming on Candlewood Lake I went over so far, hit the water. I thought my eye was getting ripped out of its socket. I loved it😂😂😂
At 130. I think not☹️☹️
