- Glyn🇿🇦RecruitA very nice execution of the old Model Boats free plan. I still have those plans (somewhat tatty after all these years) as well as the MB magazine they came with. How does she sail? Best regards, GlynLike 1Liked by teejay
- f4u7🇺🇸RecruitMany thanks for your kind words, I've not sailed her yet, only test tank and had to up the water line a little bit for more stability, I also scaled up the plans to true 1/96 as the plan is around 1/100, the 1/96 fittings I bought from fleetscale were out of scale to the plan, and using the 1.1 water line length noted in the magazine article.Like 1Liked by Donnieboy

Where are the Bikini Babes? Still inside changing? 😉
Have also been thinking of such a trailer, handy for launching on our stony sloping shores here. Was prompted by watching several launches and recoveries on Lake Garda northern italy recently.
Cheers, Doug 😎 - figtree7ntsAdmiralImpressive, really like the setup!
Must make for great recoveries!👍
And your yacht looks awesome Too!

I've pinched your photos 😁 for inspiration to convert the rather basic H/C kit I have.
it just has a boring 'bubble' on top 🤔
Cheers, Doug 😎
From Australia. Here are some more of Sid,s Boats. All scratch built. The last one is a Amphibias.

This is a photo of almost completed 2 model boats I have almost completed. The Sea Queen 50 years old find. it was found in an attic in a kit. The kit was in a very poor state and most of the timberwork had to be glued back together or remade. I had no plans for it and had to source a copy from the Model Boat website. it is a very nice model. The pilot boat was scratch built and sails very nicely. I have been building boats for about 30years and have built over 25 boats, scratch built all of them. I have included photos of some of my boats.
- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralExcellent neat work Sid 👍
Lovely finish on the varnish.
What scale is the LST? She looks huge!😲
Cheers, Doug 😎
We have two ponds to run our boats in.The Sailors run in the big pond and the scale members run in the smaller pond.Attached are a few photos of the day.I must mention that the first picture is a new construction of a Marblehead out for a test run.The Canadian Coast Guard Ice breaker is totally scratch built with working radar and lights.This member works on his kitchen table.We found out later that he was born on a kitchen table.
- figtree7ntsAdmiralLooks like an awesome looking airboat. 👍
