"just one minor point which is Arthur has a H in it? "
NOT in Portuguese, e.g. Brazil Gary (or several other non-English languages, e.g. Slavic, Celtic and Germanic) 😉 😎 ▲

Great looking photos studio quality, and a really fine-looking boat, and just one minor point which is Arthur has a H in it? Regards, Gary

Hi all, I noticed in a previous post on Artur the length mentioned as 22 inches. Both kits say 630mm which is 24.75 inches.
Like the model though and a very nice build as well. regards Roy ▲

Saving this one for inspiration. I have that kit in very early construction and after many years it is suffering from multiple moves, no space to build and multiple moves. Will have more space soon and fewer distractions.
Yours is a beautifully built model, which would be proud o any mantel or display shelf! ▲

To create the sails I bought a sewing machine and took me two weeks to learn how to use it. That’s how I created the sails. The bolt rope has over 400 hand stitches. The sail hoops are also scratch built using mahogany shavings.
Many details when into this build after meticulous research. This picture shows the real vessel. ▲

Here is what the "Florida" version of the "Balloon Boat" looked like (first photo, ~1990).
This is what the "Mother" of these balloon boats looks like today (second photo, current rescue boat). This was the master to make the mold for subsequent fiberglass hulled boats like in the first photo. Lew Florida, USA ▲

Hi DWB,
Balloon Duster is an unfortunate typo for Balloon BUSTER! It's just a hilarious game on the water, especially at exhibitions, to encourage youngsters to get involved. Each boat has a balloon tethered to it, which the other boats try to bust (pop💥) with a spike mounted as a bowsprit. (I've got 4 x 4.7" QF Mk. IXs on mine😂🤣) If done in strict competition I guess you could regard a Balloon Buster as a boat class, with defined specs in order to level the playing field. But if JFF then Who cares about specs? Even in Formula 1 teams are always trying to develop 'an edge' within the rules! Last man (balloon) standing wins😁 LET THE GAMES COMMENCE!! Cheers, Doug 😎 ▲

I guess I still don't understand what a "Balloon Duster" is.
Is it a competition or a type of boat? How are the balloons popped? You don't actually ram each other's boats, do you? ▲

It’s a very nice and slick looking model, thank you for sharing that picture with us.
My kit is a Nauticurso from Brazil but Model Expo distributes it. There are so many things you could add to the model to make it look as real as possible. “The Sub Chaser Archives” is the website I used for all of the reference need it. ▲

Absolutely Beautiful Yacht!!
Yes Jb looks like a Detroit 6V53. I repowered a 36' Cris , for a customer, with two of those puppys. And can they Howl 😁😁 The one thing about them is, when they get worn, They can run away by sucking up the crankcase oil. You aways want to stay on top of them , never on the side, in case they Blow. I know, more info that anyone is interested in.😌😌 Trev ▲

jbkiwi I did the heavy lifting. About 200K in repairs and mechanical etc. The previous owner did the interior conversion and the carvings. She has an 871 in her.

I had an excellent tour of the pictures. That is a classic beauty. No doubt you have quite a store of pleasant memories while you were the caretaker of her.
I enjoyed being aboard even though it was just in photographs. Barry ▲

Brightwork,
What a beautiful boat.😮 Must have broken your heart to have to sell her💔😭 I have to say that, amongst the other wonderful photos; that is absolutely the most photos of a loo that I have ever studied and found interesting in my life! On reflection; when did I ever study photos of a loo? 🙈 Why the heck would I have done? So where is your model of her?? (Or would that just rub salt in the wound?) Cheers, Doug😎 ▲

Fella's...I have been on a off modeling for 30 years. Some are scratch built, some are kit built, some were bought and restored and a couple are store shelf finds. Takes about a year during my working days and about 7 months during my retirement days to build a scratch model. I just restore now, I think my scratch built days may be done. Costs over $400 just to build, then I need another $400 to put in all the running gear, sound modules, esc's and radio's etc

Ooh Mister Brightwork!
So here's where I have to lift my hat, how long have you been in modelling??? When I think that I must have been working on my sternwheel steamer for several months . . . Well, for me it's an incentive to work with a kick in the butt, not to rush and to work cleanly. Always nice to see such collections. . . . Bravo! Cheers Michel-Cl. PS: You need space for that!
