SHG Model Supplies

Anybody know what is happening here. I ordered some stuff by phone just before the lockdown and have heard nothing since. Their voice mail says that they are suffering as a result of the current situation which I fully understand, but they do say to go to their e.bay shop instead. I sent them an e.mail via e.bay but this came back from e.bay saying they couldn't deliver it. Nothing heard since but I note that a debit has now been made from my bank account for the order although I have had no acknowledgement from SHG. I am not complaining (too much) as I understand things can be very difficult at the moment, but the lack of information is a bit frustrating.

1970 Super Ariston

Hi Doug, I have a sneaky suspicion you ain't German and I ain't American ? but I have more than once stated I have an exceptionally long ego, so I thank you for you nice comments I managed to get the loan of an Acetylene welder and now hopefully can weld my trailer frame together. I'll post pictures as I go along David

SEA COMANDER RE-FURB.

"I also have a vintage kit of a 34" fireboat that I started and shelved 30+ years ago and would like to finish with him helping.." Now THAT'S a great idea Colin - hold that thought👍 Looking forward to the next report (if at all possible❄️🙄) on the school design-a-boat project👍 All the best to 'The 2 Cs' and assorted descendants! Cheers, Doug 😎

The "Orca" from Jaws 1975 scale 1:14

Here is my newly finished "Orca" scratch built from the plans by Pat Tritle. she is 1:14 scale and about 35 inches length. First run out today and she went perfectly. The only thing I needed to do was add a little ballast in the stern as she was sitting slightly nose down at top speed, thats now been rectified. I will add more photos and perhaps a video next time out. But I am very pleased with how she's turned out, a definate keeper!
