Strikes me that the Buxton club has some extremely good model builders.'Baltic Trader' really good looking ship, I do like these small traditional cargo ships.

This is my first scratch build. I used hand tools and a jig saw to cut out the frame. and bulk heads. Keel and frame was cut out of plywood and the rest. of the boat is balsa. I out fitted with parts from various pieces I had pick up at hobby shops and suppliers online. The pilot house, stack and skylight is all hand made with wood and polystyrene fittings.
I downloaded the plans, altered the scale size and printed the hull and boat to scale. Again this was the first and I now am looking forward to another project.

- redpmgCommodoreThat's a great looking model for your first scratch build - especially as you changed the size . Good planking job on the hull as well as the superstructure & detailing. You should post a build blog for your next project - would follow thatThat's a great looking model for your first scratch build - especially as you changed the size .

- Graham93Vice AdmiralHi Martin,Hi Martin, Thanks for the reminder. I’ll do that later today. As for ‘what’s next?’ That’s a good question. I’m taking a break from model building for the next few months. I need a break from it and there’s lots to do around the house and garden. I’ll be sailing when I can, but not building. Doesn’t stop me thinking about what’s next though. I have a few ideas 🤔 Graham93

Edward M. Cotter
Today's weather was great for R/C model boat running & sailing in our favorite water hole the Hamilton Bay .The real Edward Cotter is a fireboat based in Buffalo New York & is also one of the oldest fireboats in the world . Near the end I almost had a disaster where I just touched the Ferry boat because I use a I-Phone to record videos & also run the models transmitter & some times I get distracted .

- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralNice job with the video Phil, especially liked the 'over the rail' shots of the deck and gear. Graham's done a brilliant job on her, and she looks to be sailing very nicely.Nice job with the video Phil, especially liked the 'over the rail' shots of the deck and gear.

- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralGood to see the boat with Graham there, gives an idea of scale. Quite a bit larger than I imagined but should handle the bigger stuff. Looks so realistic in the bow close-ups.Good to see the boat with Graham there, gives an idea of scale. Quite a bit larger than I imagined but should handle the bigger stuff.

Pilot 40
Finally had a chance to do a test on Pilot 40 project that was my lockdown stay home project . Change the props to 50 mill.4mill.threaded & now I have right prop & left prop Replaced the Sabertooth speed control as it was to hard to control with my Airtronics transmitter used a standard Hobby King speed control changed the wiring terminal block to a larger size as the one I first used was to hard to put wires in it . I always have trouble with mounting so glued the motors in with some goop & there just fine now
