Hi Sy, re found the site , was 1:12 scale with 28mm jets, but info should still be helpful. At least you can check his findings before you cut. Might order one of their buckets for a gander to see if it will adapt to my 26mm jet. They look a bit neater than my effort at moulding and are probably more compact, (and work better in reverse๐)

JB, Iโm delighted with the quality of the Oceanworks drives, they really are superbly engineered. the only hiccup was coping ยฃ17 import duty from FedEx by text 2 weeks after they arrived, was not happy!
If you have a link on the mayhem thread, would love to have a look before I fit mine. Many thanks ๐ ▲

After the expense of this kit Martin, I dare not try and sneak anything else into the house in the near future, for fear of reaping the wrath of she who must be obeyed! The problem now is trying to sneak a Model Slipway Loyal Class fleet Tender into the house which after months of searching, Iโve managed to source from a lovely chap in France. Thankfully that wonโt happen until late Feb or March, so hopefully the dust on this will have settled by then!
As for scraping some parts for scratch building fresh, hopefully not too much as the kit parts are so good! ๐ ▲

Hi Sy, found Ocean Works last year while looking for a jet unit for my Hartley model. They look like a nice unit and not too bad a price. There are some flasher ones out there if you want to pay $3-500, but I wasn't about to get carried away to that extent. Hong Kong made stuff is usually pretty good, and this crowd are supposedly very helpful, and will apparently make mods for you by request. There's a good blog on Model Mayhem with someone fitting these to your very model.

Hi Rob, the kit supplied drives were either cast or 3D printed, but these ones from Oceanworks are stunning and reek of quality, how their made Iโve no idea!. The kit ones have all sorts of problems with leaks ect, and really didnโt look very good quality compared. As this area of the Shannon is a key feature, I wanted the best drives available. The transmitter programming is an area Iโm not looking forward to, some people are using Taranis tx with 2x8 ch rx combined for 16 channels and using most of those channels in the mixing! I shall worry about that at a later date as Iโll be using my Spektrum DX8 tx and a single 8 ch rx.
Donโt worry about the speed of the build Rob, this will take a while ๐๐ ▲

Hi Sy.
Great to see that you have a new build on the slipway and it looks like you're very well prepared with all the required hardware already. Nice looking jet drives ๐๐...3D printed? This Speedline based model is clearly much higher quality that your previous model and I'm really looking forward to see how the build progresses. Not too fast though please...I'm hoping to finish my Pilots Boat before you finish this one ๐ Rob. ▲

Control rods as short as possible. If that's not possible, as in my U25, servos in the bow - dive planes and rudder in the stern, I resorted to a Bowden cable arrangement to ensure that the operating length remains the same.

Hi Rob, thinking of now not using silicone, as you say itโs horrendous stuff! What I will do is a bead of epoxy instead and the layer of glass cloth and a couple of layers of glass resin should be more than enough to seal it ๐

Good advice Martin! As there is very little more to do on the hull exterior, I might just get it prepared for painting, paint and seal it before adding the drives. Will certainly make painting easier without having to mask round stuff!

Hi Sy,
A very tricky job successfully completed. Well done. You say :- My aim when fitting the drives hopefully tomorrow but no later than Monday is to a thin bead of silicone sealant on the flange of the jetdrive housing and then the whole thing is fitted with the external grill clamping it all together for what needs to be a watertight seal as this area is obviously under water at all times in use. I would of thought you would do that when the Hull is fully painted. Martin555. ▲

Hi Sy.
You can breathe a sigh of relief now that the jet drives are fitted successfully ๐ . A word of caution when working with silicones, even the slightest residue on the hull surface will be like kryptonite to any paint so be very very careful when using it for sealing the jet drive inlets. Keep up the great work ๐๐. Rob. ▲

Once I get the bit between the horns mike haha.
I think Iโve capitalised on having 10 days off and putting in 8 hours a day. Making lists of things to be done at each stage, thinking ahead ect ect. Also, being a kit like this, most of the detail parts are pre fabricated from resin, so that speeds things up. The hardest part of the build installing all the internal gubbins is near done now, but that did take quite a bit of mental planning, even going to bed your thinking how can I tackle that bit ect. Oh, and Iโm a bit sufferer of impatience , which is a failing ๐ ▲

Hi there, paint choice for the Shannon is all Halfords rattle cans, VW brilliant orange (primed white not grey as it says on the tin!), Ford galaxy blue and a black lower hull. The blue and orange are considered the best match for RNLI colours. On your Tamar, if going for a red hull, VW Mars red is closest, otherwise you can go for white or black as I think Tamars come in all 3 colours depending on what one your building ๐

Hi Sy.
Very neat and tidy electrics installation there ๐. The red oxide finish is very reminiscent of the 'Paxolin' board that I used to use as a lad for making up electronic circuits before I could afford to use Veroboard. Re: the chrome finish. It looks very effective if left unlacquered but beware that handling it too much can also dull the surface because of natural oils on the skin. The durability of the finish is very questionable in my view, that's why I sprayed silver and lacquer on the fittings on my boat. Great work.......plenty of time to get on with it now ! I still reckon you'll finish it before I finish my Pilot Boat ๐คฃ Rob. ▲
