This is my scratch built Atlantis I fitted conventional gaf to main I believe it looks better and sails a dream.
I sail with the MBMBC in Heybridge Essex

Grace is my first and favourite rc model. I bought this for a bargain £70 on ebay, requiring a little care and attention. She sails beautifully and looks good in the water. She sits low and looks like a trading barge from days gone by.

Tortola at rear, Curlew in foreground.
Tortola plank (Balsa, tissued and dope) on frame, the keel and bulkheads from 10mm plywood. it has a small electric motor fitted but will have sails as well. Curlew from the Eezibuilt range. Material ply wood, Some of it from fruit crates.
The stand for Tortola made from 3 ply cardboard to my own design, stuck together with PVA glue.

HMS Nelson, scratchbuilt to 1/8" scale. Powered by two motors driving twin contrarotating shafts with three blade props. She sails on Lake Lisgar, Tillsonburg, Ontario.
I decided on Nelson as she took part in Operation Pedestal, from which I made a 1/216" waterline model of SS Ohio, the ship that saved Malta.
She took a little over 600 hours from solid chunk of basswood to launch. Probably info collection took as long!

I built this Range Safty Launch two years ago and I am now changing the hull paintwork to also include a water line. I never got around to doing this for some reason.

Range Saftey Launch

I purchased the plans for this model after my late father passed away, he too was building this model but failed to finish it before he died. My father was an Ex RAF Patrol boat pilot, hence the design was appropriate. The plans (Two sheets) are really well presented and easy to use. Each of the sheets provide ample detail to construct the basic model and if you are an experienced builder then these should suffice. However, a little research may be required to put the final touches together for the completed model (If you are a perfectionist like me). These plans are suitable for a novice as a first time project. This being my first attempt at a scale model. The boat once completed sails really well. I fitted mine out with electric motors, speed controller etc and when on the water a few heads turned! Fantastic plans GO FOR IT! Roy McCluskey
