    Thanks for letting us know Eric, I hope you are able to get the new site up and running shortly.

    No idea why I am known as “zooma too” when using my iPhone. Very annoying and unable to correct.

    Please stop sending emails on a daily basis to Victor Robinson. I find them very upsetting as he passed away 15 months ago. Thank you.

INGA IV - Luxury Ketch
Believed to be from Revell Models , " INGA IV " is a model Ketch , owned and sailed here by Martin Ward of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.

RCSailing is just for fun, no gain. Other than sharing photos and videos relating to Buxton Model Boat Club activities, from time to time its nice to "showcase" models from other clubs and members as seen here with the link between BMBC & HIMBC - all sharing the common interest in model boats and the "Model Boat Website".

Artur fishing boat
I know a few guys have notice the weird name Artur without an “H”.
I did notice that when I built the model, but that is the name that Nauticurso want it to use, I guess in case someone wants to complaint because this same model has being distributed by other manufacturers.
Here is their official website with a picture of their model.
I agree with the rest of the guys in this forum but like I said, they want to name this ship without the “H”. 🙄

    Hi all, I noticed in a previous post on Artur the length mentioned as 22 inches. Both kits say 630mm which is 24.75 inches.
    Like the model though and a very nice build as well.
    regards

Model Framing Jig
Re the:- Model Framing Jig from jbkiwi .

Seeing the time and effort other people put into their modelling hobby, and looking at the "build blogs" and forum comments on "Model Boats Website". I was prompted to share (with agreement) a couple of build (logs) blogs which would reach a wider audience via my youtube posts.
The intention is just to supplement and acknowledge ideas from all who share this common interest.
No monitorisation is received from this or any postings.

Nordkap 476 followed me home from my Florida vacation ....
I had seen it listed on another website. I made arrangements to look at it while in Florida on vacation. Before I left, I found myself forking over cash. 😄😲
It is a Billings Nordkap 476.
I have pictures from his build log, I am also posting some of them.

"Rescue Launch "
Grandad Graham was looking after his 7 year old grandson for the day, grandson Finley asked (several times) - he could help building a model boat. After he had gone home, Graham started to think about a boat he could help build. Graham had come across "HAkits" in a couple of blogs on the https://model-boats.com/ website, he then decided that their Rescue Launch would make a nice model for a 7 year old. The kit was duly ordered and arrived a few days later.

    The boat looks great, really nice.
    I bet Grandad doesnt even get a look in now though 😂
    Some great driving by Finley, smooth turns and not just flat out everywhere.

    Very nice.

    Thanks Will,

    Re the turns. The launch has a custom mixer built in to reduce the throttle on turns. The sharper the turn, the more the reduction. I didn’t want it rolling over attempting to turn flat out.😉

    Nice job with the video Phil, especially liked the 'over the rail' shots of the deck and gear. Graham's done a brilliant job on her, and she looks to be sailing very nicely.

    Good to see the boat with Graham there, gives an idea of scale. Quite a bit larger than I imagined but should handle the bigger stuff. Looks so realistic in the bow close-ups.
