Yard Sale Find
I am continuing with that yard sale find the Puffer is done so on to the next . I'm not keen on static sailing ships but I can't pass up a project like a major repair of the 1765 USS Bonhomme Richard . She will have no sails but have all the rigging . We always have turkey for thanksgiving a day early so I have some time to today to play.

Miss Carlton
I thought I would post this here for those in the UK who may have built the model of this boat. 1963 "Miss Carlton" on sea trials. This is a Press photo.

- Oxford-DaveSub-LieutenantI like the copyright and filing info on the back of the photo. I used to work in the BBC TV News picture library and we had thousands up thousands of pictures like that in the basement. We could still access most of them within five minutes. too.I like the copyright and filing info on the back of the photo.

My recently refurbished 1/12th Scale Brede Lifeboat
Modelled on RNLB 33 - 07 Inner Wheel towards the later end of her service when the enclosed radar had been replaced by the Furuno rotating array. I know its to fast for scale speed but I was enjoying its first outing post refurbishment!

What is this boat?
Has anyone seen a model or plans for a boat like the one I found on holiday. I was in Elounda Crete when I came across this and thought what a lovely model it would make.

- SimpleSailorLieutenantThanks cheddarman. Looks like the same boat, has the same name but in the link it is in Agios Nikolaos Crete which is just round the coast from Elounda. It is definitely a Turkish Gulet.Thanks cheddarman. Looks like the same boat, has the same name but in the link it is in Agios Nikolaos Crete which is just round the coast from Elounda.

lighting
Just answering a question about the club run at night & yes some guys go overboard with lighting hope I can photo some of the more exotic lighted model boats. Here is my Gumboot Cloggeroo lobster model boat with a few lights . That name is a song by Stompin Tom Connors a Canadian song writer .

The reason they are so bright is that a few of the members of my old club could not see the duck house in day light, let along a model boat.[{"id":"172636089190","name":"172636089190","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/model-boats.com\/media\/172636089190\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/model-boats.com\/media\/172636089190\/s","isImage":false,"ext":"file"}]

These are small cubes that emit red or white and I am sure others as well.If you are looking for very low cost lighting ( that is not scale ), I purchased extra blinking bicycle lights that are battery powered.

Andrea Gail
The model boat club I'm in will hold a boats in the park at night on Thursday Sept.19th at 6:30 P.M. At Spencer's pool in Burlington . We do get a lot of spectators that enjoy the lighted model boats So I figured I'd better install some lights on my Andrea Gail the photo isn't that good but it will have to do for now. P/S installing lights sure is a pain ! And I'll take a few shots when it's darker.

SSMBC (Seminole, Florida, USA) meet on Sept 1, 2024
A short "in the water" video take at our meet. (Other boats were present, but I only got in a few photos.) My last Springer build finally hit the water. Still kind of hot (~90F), waiting for fall to arrive.

- LewZAdmiralPeejay, no barge for this one as it (real one) is a "stoplog" boat that operates at the Little Goose Dam on the Snake River out in Washington State (US). It is used to prevent logs and debris from entering the lock an intakes for the hydro-electric generators. The real one is owned by the US Army Corps of Engineers.Peejay, no barge for this one as it (real one) is a "stoplog" boat that operates at the Little Goose Dam on the Snake River out in Washington State (US).

I'm thinking of making a bunch of logs for it to move around. Did you notice the crew man on the bow with a logging pole? Lew Florida ⛱️, USA 🇺🇸

Maybe a relation or the old fellow next door but the sailing boat looks like it exists. Is the hull in shadow in the other picture?
