- philcaretakerCommodoreShe is back in dry dock for more fitting out by Lee who constructed and owns the model.
She is quite a beast at 1/72 scale about 6ft / 2mtr long. Fleetscale kit/parts i think ?.
Special significance for me that my son has served on HMS Iron Duke.Liked by RNinMunich and MouldBuilder and - RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi Phil,
Wonder if your son was on board when I had a look round Iron Duke during the Exponaval in Valparaiso naval harbour many years ago?
When not at the exhibition discussing the COMMS fit for the OPVs Armada de Chile have since built I was on the other side of the dock doing some upgrades to a 1kW HF transmitter on a Leander frigate. Took longer than expected to upgrade the SW so I nearly ended up sailing with her. Might have been fun😉
Cheers, Doug 😎
U-181 and HMS Bluebell confrontation in WW2
A Type IX DX2 U-boat on a long range patrol runs into a Flower class corvette and is up for the fight. Best viewed on the full screen.

- philcaretakerCommodoreRemindes me of berthing alongside just down from the Crescent city connection bridge, near Canal Street - I`m sure the "Precedent" steamer used to be there 45 years ago ?.
- CaptLarryChief Petty Officer 2nd ClassI like your paddlewheel “Mark Twain”!
The boats namesake is quite a prolific writer, and in his book “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” he talks about his time in England. I don’t know if you smoke cigars, but an interesting paper he wrote is more about the nature of people, “Concerning Tobacco”....this is a short paper. Funny, but oh so true!
I like the Calliope!Liked by philcaretaker

- JBRCfloatsLeading SeamanThat is a great job on the tug. I have a question: when can I find a figure for my Tug? Where do you get yours?
- POGrayPetty Officer 1st ClassJBRC, thanks for the compliment, figures sourced from Shapeways, just search online, Merchant Navy set No3, any scale can be achieved, within reason....I've been really happy with them so far...

NON SMOKING EXHAUST WITH AIR INJECTION
Gave up trying to fit a smoke device in the HSL due to lack of room so decided to try something else. Set up the twin small air pumps (1 per exit) and made some y joints to link them to the pump and exhaust outlets,. Works reasonably well and not too noisy. Breaks up the flow a bit and gives it an 'exhaust flow look'.

- mturpin013AdmiralHi JB this looks good , what pumps did you use and where did you pipe them into the systemLiked by Martin555
- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralHi Mike. I used 2 mini air pumps (3v) same as the one you are using, (1 per side) Drawing is of method used but without the smoke (as mentioned,- no room) and just running an extra line from the cooling pump instead to the smoke/air exit. The larger 12v pump I tried (see latest smoker attached to exhaust pipes vid) works a lot better and is quieter if you have the room.
