my effort at scramble nets. they look ok rolled up.

FINALLY !

the Lifeboat is looking more and more complete now, deck railings added, pushpit rails on, lifebelts on, deck painted etc. Still loads more to complete yet.
the ACTION sound system is still pulling the crowds every time I switch it on, People passing the pool have to stop and watch it. Ive tried running the Mersey with the sound system off, but naa ! it has to be On , every time [ha ha].

Er, having a real problem with the server, its loaded the same video clip twice.

MY SINCERE APPOLOGIES !

ADDED WRONG VIDEO CLIP !

this is actually a good old "shovel nose" boat still under construction by a fellow club member and was its first sea trial.

Finaly after many months of searching, found a replacement drive motor for my Sea jet. Appologies for the short video clip, but its gives you enought to see. Absolute total fun to drive !

Just three photos taken, while waiting for ferry to Sandbanks, of returning lifeboat named Margaret Joan and Fred Nye. I think based Poole.
Hope they are helpfull, Colin.

A few more pics of my almost complete 94. 9 months to build- countless hours!

Since my last posting I have spent weeks stripping the paint, refilling where required and have had to make new roof and floor sections, worst part has been been the front windows as these were totally rotten once the old paint was removed, and making new ones was hard because the old frames they attach to is warped. I still have not fitted them yet as I'm looking to paint and glaze first.

Still under construction but now sailed. 1:100 scale scratch built in conjunction with Dave Melville who has built RMS Olympic

Bill finally launched his boat. 😀 The weather was kind for some of the time so I was able to take some pictures and a short (not very good) video on the water.
