Apologies for the blurred pictures of the boat on the water.
Not easy trying to use 35mm SLR with telephoto lens and radio control at the same time.

HMS Cossack L03 hull construction first stage
First stage of building the Cossack. I plan to build the hull out of fibreglass, the mould has been carved out of extruded foam. Then the foam will be covered in packing tape, then covered in fibreglass. Once the fibreglass has set the foam will then be removed from the fibreglass hull.
7 September, hull has been completed, started to build the superstructure

Parma
Does this one qualify? it took me almost 4 years to build this one. Scratch built from underhill plans. Parma made the fastest single journey in 1933 of 83 days in the grain races. the model is on permanent display in the Maritime Museum in Hull UK.

Fantail Launch
This is a fun boat!
With a steam engine that really runs, it is quite a crowd pleaser.
The tank and parts are brass, and silver soldered together. The heat source is sterno, placed in the tray and Ignited. This boils distilled water in the boiler, which is vented to the piston. The hole in the freeboard is the "exaust".
I'll have to post a video of it operating.

- CaptLarryChief Petty Officer 2nd ClassHowdy,Howdy, It runs pretty good. The 3 blade screw pushes it right along. Have you had your engine running since you put it together? I've been experimenting with different types of fuel, one that would be more controlable with temperature to try and limit output. Right now its all or nothing. I'll post a video soon. Larry

Larry - ianed57Sub-LieutenantHI Larry,HI Larry, Yes I did run it with the solid fuel but that is what has put me off. I have thought about building a small gas fired boiler- I built a 3''dia vertical boiler for another boat- just wondered if it was worth it. I have a two foot hull which might suit it- or it might be too heavy -what sort ofweight is your fantail all up? I know that was designed for the plant. What other fuels have you tried? it would be nice to see a video when you get round to it- always interesting

Kika - ex mystery Orange Hull
I've at last done something with my mystery Orange hull, featured earlier, whilst in St Lucia last year I saw a launch used as diving support with almost identical shape called 'KIKA' so that's what it had to be!
Power from an old 600 Johnson type motor with 7.5v battery and 20A ESC, with prop & running gear from my oddments box. Tried her at Mangerton Mill last week, she goes well but needs a more powerful ESC as 15A fuses blow at 3/4 power, also veneer deck has started to bubble - so work in progress really!
