you are doing a great job and remember what has already been said, you are doing it for you and whatever you do is OK.

BW that looks good to me, you’re doing a grand job on her. I like it!
Just remember, you’re building her for you. And, like Doug said, she’s a warship…she’s not going to be perfect unless you’re going for that “just launched” look. Your paint looks good to me. Cash ▲

"The trouble with closeups it shows just how bad I paint ..."
Rhubarb BW😉Looks pretty damn good to me.👍 Remember; these boats were war machines not luxury yachts. They were also very hard worked, probably more than any other type of surface vessel in the Kriegsmarine. The painting served two purposes; primarily prevention of rust, or perhaps better said rot and corrosion. I believe that the hulls were constructed of wood on aluminium (aluminum for you😉) frames. Secondary camouflage. Several Dazzle type paint schemes were tried. Bit pointless really, considering the noise the Merc engines must have made and the luminescence of the 40knot wake at night! Great build so far, looking forward to seeing (and hearing🙉) S91 in action on the wet stuff. Cheers, Doug😎 PS: had much fun in the nineties working on some successors to the S Boats; Type TNC45 45m FACs. In service with the Ecuadorian Navy based in Guayaquil. Muy divertido (much fun)😁 Had basically the same hull design, prop and rudder layout as the S-Boote. Both types were designed and built by the Lürssen Werft. Now part of German Shipyards GmbH. I still have the GA plans of the TNC45 if anyone's interested? Pic attached of one of the 3 Seawolf Class TNCs that I worked on in Guayaquil. Cheers, Doug 😎 ▲

I found Model Sounds inc. online , they have a wide selection of sounds and for a small fee can customize your sounds and has the option to purchase software to make your own customized sounds . Their system can be optimized to be removable and placed in different models. I have found them to be very helpful and worth the consideration when choosing to add a sound system .

Commiserations my friend, similar happened to me as well last Wednesday. Took the Orca for a quick sail after club meeting to find she would only go around in circles-of course this only happens when you're far from the shore😂 rescued by feĺlows and find the steering linkage was broken.
Easy fix, test bench afterwards only for the esc to suddenly start smoking and in turn cook the battery .. hey ho, hopefully you'll get yours sorted and I'll get started on dismantling 🙄. ▲

My commiserations. I know how you must feel. It's that awful feeling in the pit of your stomach knowing that only you are to blame.☹️☹️🤕

Sad to hear about this. As Bill said, we have all done it. At least it teaches us valuable lessons for the future. I hope you can repair at minimal cost.😟

Nothing worse than doing a late night rush for the next day and having a major breakdown like yours. Hope the damage is not a total wipeout for you!

Sorry to hear of your troubles. If I’m going to smoke, break or bend anything it’s usually late at night, trying to get something ready for the next day. You have my sympathies and I hope you get her back up to speed, she’s looking very nice.

Glad to hear you have things back on track.
After experiencing technical problems and failures there can be appreciable satisfaction in identifying and fixing all the problems. Have fun😉 ▲

I agree , I really liked these conversion builds ,unlike the S91 project that has a displacement type hull , these plane hulls require a light touch I feel so have been given a small brushless helicopter motor I felt it was a good fit and I am happy with the out come and their performance. As long as I have done my part ….lol.
Your Vosper puts my feeble efforts to shame that is a fine looking model. Very Nice !! ▲
