Bought of ebay part built .re worked all the stern and smoke stack areas. rc to go in soon ..moving turrets working lights etc..
If I was to do the model again I think I would plank the deck as Im not happy with the finish I have .....who knows if I get fedup I may have a go at re doing it later this yr

Just finished this over Christmas. All lights work ,the deck is done with timber strips. just to rig up rc.
All the rigging detaches from the masts so I can gain access to the battery n the running gear. Lashings of Lead used as ballast. Talk about top heavy.......
Think I will weather her and get her smoking .....later

Belle Margot was a birthday present from my wife I was not happy with the sails this model came with so I made a new set and put lead shot for ballast & put combing around the deck hatch she sails well with no ingress of water

the wood mast / boom were replaced with aluminium tube yokes made from aluminium new planked oak deck combing around the deck hatch the sails come off for transporting to the lake

Just fancied doing something different. Started out with a deck mounted small camera and converted it on 27th Nov 2011 to an internally mounted Olympus C7070 camera. Fitted with 2 electric motors to give full manoeuvrability. Lots of small mods but not used during 2013. After lots of try with video decided to try single frame pictures. Decided to keep with still pictures. May 2014 started to rework boat to look more like a tug and decided to rename it - Owner AMD, Operated by ACME STUDIOS, Renamed LILIAN ROSE. Bought a new cheap camara from Tescos so if lost would only lose me £30. Also fitted bigger batteries. Then started selling pictures.

My scatch built 200th scale model of a KVG V class Battle Ship, the Duke of York. Based 0n 1/720th Revel plastic kit, 30 years old. First sail after a "refit" after being laid up in Garden shed for 10 or so years, fortunately was not as damaged as the Bismark store in same shed, as it was in a drier part of a leaky shed, just replaced some decking (with plastic sheet), added some missing small armament, lockers, Gun directors, Walrus Sea Plane etc I'd left of earlier model. She was original powered by 4 - 540 size motors, running 2mm Props (.50p each those where the days), upgraded her to run two on just twin props (4mm), leaving outer pair as dummies, may re connect at a later date. Brought her electrics upto 2.4 Ghz standard. Sailed well very steady on this her first sail after refit, at Ethrow Park.

144 scale Liberty ship model based on much modified "Battlers Connection" hull.
All bulkheads, power train and from deck up scratch build
