- NerysFleet AdmiralVery pretty, think some oldtimers would be turning over in their graves to see sails those colours. Just imagine mixing those from ochres and cow urine then being blinded as you dressed the sails. What barge is that? is it the HFM kit?Very pretty, think some oldtimers would be turning over in their graves to see sails those colours.

- rolfman2000Warrant OfficerIt's looking nice Northumbrian. I have an original Veron that I found that is awaiting "refurbishment". I bought it because the model was the very first boat I ever built, as an 11 year old. I would like to see a pic of the power train and radio placement if possible. I have been trying to work out how to hide as much as possible, and I notice you have put a "high deck" in yours. Best of luck with the maiden voyage, Dave W.It's looking nice Northumbrian.

Gusty Cat (ex Lady Daphne)
I like Douglas Adams books. ..(and Terry Pratchett too)
But I was most attracted to Gusty Cat ...
So.. Model of thames barge , build according to modified plans of sb Lady Daphne in scale 1:28 (length cca 1 meter ).
it will be again a model with an auxiliary motor, staysail class.
I am currently grinding the laminate hull with several layers of putty.
It is an ungrateful job.

Thames sailing barge Capricorn
Hi,
this is my last model, thames siling barge on its maiden voyage,October 2, 2016. Preparation for construction of barges - Fall 2013. I have not chosen according to what plans I will build. I bought plans for TSB Lady Daphne, finally I chose but I have other plans.
On the internet I found an information plan barge "Champion class" from H.I.Chapelle. Even though I had prepared and cut out the ribs on the LD (1:28, Loa 98 cm), I finally began to build a "Champion". Loa 110 cm.
More photos and a description to> http://barge.homeunix.org/index.php/home <
It still remains to be done many details - winches, dinghy, and more. Also, set the the sails just sewn just for a test.Everything I wanted to finish through the winter

The technique betrayed me, footy ruder servo burned during race. Then I participated in open regata with my barge Capricorn. it was my first race. my model also had the first opportunity to sail on "big water". It turned out that I need to adjust the sails to add and manage a large jib servo. Technique was against me once more..maybe battery collapsed after first round in second race. At home I found..battery Ok , but something collapsed .. Weather nice and hot, but the wind was very weak, so the models of the racing sailboats were the first .. My photos..> http://tomarack.rajce.idnes.cz/Mistrovstvi_footy_Vyrovice_2018/ I placed on board Capricorn deck cam, but after about 20 minutes the battery was discharged, i did not expected it... and I didn't expect the battery discharge will be so quick...

Scratchbuilt Swim Front Thames Lighter/Barge
I guess this is a working vessel?? I wanted something for my TID to tow and after a bit of searching I found a plan for an old Ezi Bild Kit on line and got it enlarged and this is the result.
It takes about 15-20kg of ballast but it tows well.
Here are a couple of pictures one on its maiden "tow"

s.b. Vigilant
Scratch built to 1/24th scale this is a model of a famous coastal barge built in 1904 at Mistley for the Horlock fleet. Sailed to victory in the1928 Thames Barge Match with Chub Horlock at the helm she won five "firsts" in her one race - a feat never achieved before or since. You can read about this exciting race in Chub's biography "Mistley Man's Log". S.b.VIGILANT can now be seen at Topsham in Devon where she is under extensive restoration.

- commodoreMaster SeamanDamon, I suggest you look at the website of AMBO - the Association of Model Barge Owners for more information also the excellent site of Ivorbittle.co.uk where you will find all the information you are likely to need about building a model barge. incidentally its the sails that are radio controlled on my model, not the mast! it is flat bottomed but has a detachable keel weighing 3kg. The overall weight is 6kg. Good hunting!Damon, I suggest you look at the website of AMBO - the Association of Model Barge Owners for more information also the excellent site of Ivorbittle.co.uk where you will find all the information you are likely to need about building a model barge. incidentally its the sails that are radio controlled on my model, not the mast! it is flat bottomed but has a detachable keel weighing 3kg.
