RC Sailing - BMBC at Buxworth Basin
On Bank Holiday monday 31st August 2020 , Buxton MBC put on a display at Buxworth Basin in the High Peak of Derbyshire.
Ref Wikipedia - Bugsworth Basin is a canal basin at the terminus of the Peak Forest Canal. It is located at Buxworth in the valley of the Black Brook, close to Whaley Bridge. It was once a busy interchange with the Peak Forest Tramway, for the transport of limestone and burnt lime.

- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralProbably not Martin, but I'll figure something out, - perhaps some bituminised cloth made into a tube? Won't need much as the slots will be much smaller when it's all done. Just a bit large due to all the experiments, - plus they are quite high up, and I may be fitting a bilge pump. Was going to buy some boots from Ali Express, but the prices are stupid.Probably not Martin, but I'll figure something out, - perhaps some bituminised cloth made into a tube?

Was going to buy some boots from Ali Express, but the prices are stupid. Ali Express is starting to get like HK, now that HK has been going down for a while,- every time you go back to buy the same item from the same seller, the price has gone up 1 or 2$. Everything's double the price it was 2 yrs ago and free shipping has been slowly disappearing! Going to be cheaper to build a real boat soon! Chinese are starting to take advantage I think, now that the govt has background control of A Exp and are probably trying to suck more money out of the sellers and A Exp as a whole, like they do with all large businesses there.

A US Navy ARS ( Auxiliary Rescue Salvage ship), built to 1/48th scale. Twin screw with working radar, lights, anchor, and fire monitor. Built from a bare hull, with a lot of Thanks to Shapeways 3D printed parts. She is shown, at anchor, with a friend USN ATF ( Auxiliary tug Fleet) in the back ground.

Just my cup of tea.
Regards Bill.Liked by Martin555 - ToraDogCommodoreThank you. She was a challenge to build becuse the class changed aft the first three ships were built. All other after the third were completed with one aft mast and several different boom configurations. Interestingly, two of the original design hull went to the RN via Lend Lease and served the Australians. After the war they were sold to a British Columbian Tugboat firm and made historical reputations for themselves.Thank you.
