Hi! I have just built the fire tender raf and I did have pictures up but they seem to have vanished but I will send some pictures of the fire tender, and the Wattle both scratch built I acquired the fire tender kit from Marky but remade it all in balsa and thin ply kept the patterns for future ref. Now how did I manage to get pictures up

Harvey just come across your build blog I am a bit further on with mine, just doing some paint experiments at present.You comment about your ability level, judging by your approach to prep before gluing and your innovative solution to clamping that doesn't seem in doubt. any way there's enough builders on here that have experienced everything you will come across in this build, so if in doubt give them a shout. I've just signed up to your blog - never stop learning

Thank you. Came to me in an instant while I was staring at the problem. Yup. Brass pins 12 mm. Donโt seem big enough ๐ the whole front end - keel + breast hook are glued and screwed, this seems the likeliest place for damage and needs to be sturdy. Hopefully will glue bulkheads later today once โdadโs taxiโ shift is over.

That's a neat idea, I had to resort to wedges and packing pieces to form parallel surfaces for the clamps to pull against.
I assume you're using brass pins to fix the stringers onto the bulkheads too? Rob. ▲

Zap z poxy is what itโs called - Iโm using 30 m glue for the hull as 5 m wouldnโt allow enough time to get everything clamped. Seems to work๐

Coming along nicely. Which glue do you use. My usual supply of 5 minute two pack epoxy has stopped stocking it, so looking for a new recommendation.

Sorry Colin, my 2nd comment should have revealed that this was a bit of fun... and I have not actually finished the 46โ boat yet. ๐

Haha. I wish! This is a 36โ version needing some TLC which I just bought off a friend. I thought it would provide a 3D reference for what Iโm building, also a platform for prototyping some of the extras such as fire hoses etc. Plus it needed a good home and some renovation. ๐

Hi Robbob, now you've asked...๐ I have been 'distracted' with other projects - wasn't feeling confident about the skins for the 46" boat, didn't want to mess up, so I bought a Sarik semi-kit for MTB379 to practice with, and that seems to have gone OKish. Back to the Fireboat in the new year after a few other boat repairs, so hopefully the build log will pick up. The 34" boat, I burnt out the motor some how๐ค so fitted a brushless + 2S Lipo. Goes very fast!
