Envy Jane belongs to my granddaughter Evy Jane.
It is sailed regularly at the Surrey park Dive, which is an old quarry in the city of Box Hill in Victoria Australia. We have a great facility and club house with approximately 130 members, we welcome new members and visitors and meet Sundays and Wednesdays.

Got very exited to see my boat and misspelt the name of the boat and granddaughters name it is Evie Jane.

Their replacements the MK3 RTTL were not a popular as the MK 2, Here is a picture of the real 2771 and my model Mk3 HMAFV Stirling

Stunning job well done

Stunning model, I'm looking forward to getting around to building mine.

Very nice indeed, it looks like 'Albion",which I had the pleasure of looking around at Oulton Broad; it's an excellent model. I also bought a set of plans from the preservation society so it seems we'll have the makings of a fleet soon!

The Dumas kit (Carol Moran) mine is named Michael after my grandson. it sailed at a scale speed today.

The Bunker and Ellis "Lobster Yacht" a Midwest kit, seen here towing a harbour tender.

Harbour tender and Tugboat built by me. Dannieboy built the Lobster Yacht with added touches by Ron.

A magnificent collection! Well done gents 👍👍👍
Specially like the Victorian Launch 😊
Poor little girl, adrift on a runaway launch wiv no crew!!!! 😲
Hope one of the Springers could rescue her.
Congrats all round,
Cheers, Doug 😎

Eventually, I'll work my way up to Live Steam!

We should live so long Ed 😉
I may have the machines necessary to make a steam engine, but I sure don't have the expertise necessary🤔, like Hammer 👍 for instance does have! Anyone out there making mini marine diesels????
Cheers, Doug 😎

Hi Braulio,
Some masterful stuff there👍 and good clear photography 👍👍
Good to see the Atlantic Challenger. Many years ago a colleague and I did the COMMS system design for the original😊
Love the Minions and floating 'crapper', some imaginative folks about 😁
Cheers, Doug 😎

Very high standard of models, I have looked on the their face book page and there is another event at the location next year on 30th May 2019. I may just get there, as I often go to Austria normally around St Wolfgang see.

yes, my mate has added a lot of weight on top compared with the original so consequently has ended up a bit lower in the water. Bob was firing up his Explorer next to me and couldn't get the radio to work as he had plugged the servo into the wrong slot!!

Very nice, really like the live steam!

Very nice👍
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 😎

Impressive, really like the setup!
Must make for great recoveries!👍
And your yacht looks awesome Too!

Great minds think alike Haig👍
I've been wanting to have a go at Z38 for a long time.
Those 1936 / Narvic classes had nice lines.
Sea keeping wasn't so hot in the originals apparently!
Like the 'scope idea, will try it on my U26.
Saves having to break into the pressure hull👍
Which was always my biggest problem on COMMS system designs for 'toys' for the 'big boys'; minimising the hull breakthroughs!
With such a simple float how do you make it so 'free running' that it doesn't bind?
Cheers, Doug 😎

Hi Doug, I have used the floating periscope on my other submarine too. On that one there are two sets of two. if the periscope tubes slide easily and the float is big enough then it will work. I have used aluminium tubes on the HMS Triumph.
The U boat scopes are both aluminium. They are loose so I can put one or both in before sailing. The floats are balsa wood and painted for sealing.
