DS 30
Took time out from my new build to test float the barge I am building for my push boat to give it a long awaited float test for leaks and to mark the waterline. First decent day this winter!

Pawtucket YTM 359
This is the Dumas US Army tug kit showing the two hull halves being glued together, I hope to modify the model to replicate the tug I was Petty Officer in Charge of while in the Navy!

USS Chesty B Puller
USS Chesty B Puller, I was a marine, 63 inches long, prebuilt by Aquacraft, engines installed, but no radio, batteries or speed control. Looks great in water. preforms like a real one, especially in still water, but we don't have much of that in Kansas.
105 PBR PIBBER.
U.S. Navy PBR 31Mkll. Patrol Boat River.
This is a vessel that I'm building from scratch. To achieve accuracy I will be using a Tamiha 1/35 scale kit and scaling that kit up to 1/9th scale for the vessel I am building. it will measure up to almost 1 metre in length.

Hi just to remind us of summer days during the cold spell we have. Sorry about the audio but this is the fishing trawler I built a while ago - having a sail around the lake in South Shields. We didn't catch many fish that day :-)

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralSo far so good!👍😉So far so good!👍😉 Ya see, it ain't so hard after all 😉 Hard part is jigging all the parts together so they can't move. Or stopping the last joint melting apart when you make the next.😡 To solve that I use crock clips as heat shunts between the last and the next joint. Keep it up r-h, Cheers, Doug 😎

Ski boat
This boat is designed around a boat I owned many years ago. The equipment is simply representative of whats available today. I only owned and used a pair of skis and a tandom ski..
