New forum rankings.

Am I missing something here, what's with all the silly titles. Admirals, Captains and three band stokers etc.You are all boat modellers. I also build model aircraft does that make an Air-Vice marshal or a Wing Commander if I own more than one model. As for getting up-tight if your title has been changed, then I think you need to get a life.Having got that off my chest I would like to say there are some magnificent models displayed on this site.

HMS Devastation

She was launched in 1872, and was effectively the first RN modern era battleship. I am thinking of modeling her. Does anyone have any good info, drawings, photos etc?

Can't edit or add to boat in harbour

Many thanks for your prompt reply to my moans. I am pleased that Facebook do not have any personal details. I had been absent from the site for some time due to personal issues and on returning find it has all changed. Being 80 years old you can imagine that I am reluctant to change! Full marks to you for all you do and I will shut up and have patience. I myself run two web sites (Hoylake and Southport MBC's) and do realize your problems. Keep up the good work and sorry for being a grumpy old man. Kind regards Max

Notifications now going to spam.

I don't know what is happening, but from Monday 18th March all my notification mails have gone into spam even though I keep telling them it's not spam. Cheers Colin.

Locating Clubs on 'Boats Clubs and Lakes'

Agree Alan, It was a lot easier / quicker to find all sorts of things before. The Forum used to be categorised; Electrical Related, Site Related, Specific, Boat Related Non Modelling Chit Chat, for example. Now everything is in one 'bucket'. ☹️ Doug

How can I expand the photos.

Your are right Colin - tried it on my Android and the same as you. I am sure that they will come along with a fix shortly. Other than that the site is a 'good'un'. Alan

CNC boat kits...?

Once the machine is set up, we run into the two classic workshop requirements - tooling and work-holding. We hardly need a powerful spindle or Dremel for cutting balsa, which is what I am going to start with. I am going to use an old brushed boat motor with a small chuck added. But I need an easy way to hold the workpiece. Here I am making up an experimental vacuum holder. It's sized to take a 4" x 36" sheet of balsa. I hope to slip a blank sheet in, run the machine and take out the equivalent of a die-cut kit sheet an hour later. Note the requirement for everything to be massive and rigid, so that items can be held exactly in a repeatable position without movement while the cutting forces are applied....

Turnigy Standard 9x transmitter

Thanks. I will give it a try. If possible, could you tell me how your 4 channel switcher works. My next project has multiple additional features to deal with. Which one is compatible with the 9x. Thanks again.

New Website Has Finally Arrived!

Private messages bug should be fixed now Colin. Also... some faulty hyperlinks and pages redirecting to the wrong place. Think I've got to the bottom of that too. @John, are you trying to post in the media section or the forum? Stephen

Editing Models in Harbour

Thanks for the 'fix' Stephen👍 Basically I like the new site presentation. Well done, helluva lotta work has gone into it👍👍 Now time to celebrate with a nice single malt instead of the coffee? Can recommend a Lagavulin or a Jura 😜 I've been wandering about the new site for several hours and have noted a few points that may need some attention - Some nice features which seem to have disappeared ☹️ Some new/old ones which don't quite seem to give the expected result. Will send you a report (with +'s as well as -'s 😉) when I've finished stooging about. Would be nice to have the 'Site Related' forum topic back to do that! More soon, cheers, Doug 😎
