Identification Help needed British Warship
Over 20 years ago I was given this F/G hull and the plan but in several moves the plans were lost.
Can any one identify from shape of hull what class she is. The photo I had showed a large canvas cover suspended over the stern deck as if she was in warmer climate.
Many thanks

    You have all been very helpful and think I have narrowed it down to Castle Class. Looking at Caister Castle K690, Denbigh K 696 and Flint Castle k383. Hull looks very close.
    The model is 66 inch stem to transom and 10 inch on the beam.
    Now just need to find some detail on deck and superstructure.

    Thank you all for your help

    I'm pleased to see you have painted the inside of the boat, as well as the exterior.
    Knowing how water will get into the insides of every boat, no matter what, it vexes me to see so many boats with unpainted interiors.
    Perhaps I'm moving in the wrong circles ? 😉

    The way I see it the inside is just as important. It's all been sealed primed and top coated.

    Trev.. This is an elderly Wren 54 configured as a 2 stage drive (ie. the turbine is a gas generator which drives a turbine driven gearbox). You can see the setup in the Video of the mechanics running.

Gumboot Clogaroo
Had a chance to run my Midwest model of a lobster Boat at Spencer's in Burlington It's the 150 anniversary of the town of Burlington Ontario . The forest fire smoke wasn't to bad the day I ran the boat . I named model off of a Canadian Singer Stompin' Tom Connors - Wikipedia songs about a lobster boat The Gumboot Clogaroo .

RC Tyne Paddle Tug
Built by Buxton Model Boat Club member Adrian , he says :- "essentially the paddle boat is scratch built but uses some fittings and materials from a Disar "Vanguard" kit ".
Adrian used drawings of "Flying Scotsman" for inspiration, but is not a faithful reproduction, although "Old Trafford" is also quite similar .
This was the maiden voyage so plenty more work to be done on detail and ballast etc.as the boat still sits a bit low in the water.
For reference see :- http://tynetugs.co.uk/

Fairey "Maybe" on the water
Just taken dads old boat out and it handles well. I might add some short chines to the aft section just to stop it skidding out so much on turns and it is a bit over powered. Only running on 4 S in the video, 6 S next 😂. Not sure if the YouTube link works.

INGA IV - Luxury Ketch
Believed to be from Revell Models , " INGA IV " is a model Ketch , owned and sailed here by Martin Ward of the Hayling Island Model Boat Club.

RCSailing is just for fun, no gain. Other than sharing photos and videos relating to Buxton Model Boat Club activities, from time to time its nice to "showcase" models from other clubs and members as seen here with the link between BMBC & HIMBC - all sharing the common interest in model boats and the "Model Boat Website".

    So ah, is this thing mobile ? Towable ? Open the door and window, drag it down the road and all that pesky sawdust and debris would be GONE !

    Actually, you’ve done a great job on it…. Now a mini bar fridge and music is all that’s left..

    Hello cdnfurball, you slipped a bit too high with your contribution. But no problem. Thanks for your feedback. Yes, the trailer would be mobile, but I jacked it up in our garden and it should stay that way.

    Are they what we used to call "Lash barges"? If so, I didn't know they were still in use.

    Hi Lewz thanks for the web cam on the Keokuk lock. I am taking rather a long time to build a Dumas kit of American Beauty so fascinated watching the tow boats and their barges.
    I have a pair of barges although rather austere and really just boxes.
    American wood used by Dumas could do with a lot of quality control.

    I found a great video of full size American Beauty with a large load showing all the detail left out by Dumas.

    I shall keep your webcam site to watch for a long while now.🤗🤗🤗
    Cheers
    Roy
