Just a little run today & there was no Lobsters in the bay today The Model is a Midwest kit with a bass wood hull the kit had balsa wood & fiberglass but I like basswood instead for the hull . The name of the boat is from a Stompin Tom Conners song .

    Hi Brian,

    Not happened yet 😁. There are a lot of real ducks on the Pavillion Gardens lake in Buxton and they get fed by lots of the visitors. Most visitors don’t notice Donald as he blends in with the rest of the crowd. It great to see their faces if/when they finally notice that Donald is a bit different to the others ( the blue flashing eyes tend to give it away!) 😂🤣

    Hi, I started building the Anfora tug "Duna" (actually the "Frederic Mistral") several years ago but stopped when I could not get the drag chain for the steering strong enough. Seems the all the pulleys along the deck caused too much drag. How does yours work? Any photos?

North Rock Tug
Just a little Hamilton Bay run of my scratch built R/C North Rock tug replica .The real tug was built in 1956 for the Alexandra Towing Co. Liverpool I took a little liberty in the color found out that the cabin was white & my ability to record with my I Phone & steer model ain't to good but it's a sturdy hull .

Scratch built 1:12 Shannon Ilfracombe 13 09

This amazing model is SCRATCH built (including the plug for the hull!!!) by John Sluman

Most fittings are machined metal, some incredcible skill in construction.

Boat in this video is running on brushed motors - it is now converted to brushless.

Snowy joins the crew
I found a plastic model of Captain Haddock and used him as Skipper, then decided to make a clay model of Tintin to join him as crew on my pusher Tug..
- then a friend suggested making a model of Snowy to join the crew. Here’s how I made him!

RC Sailing :- "Alexandra"
Looking like a Windermere Pleasure boat, "Alexandra" is actually a German River Cruiser owned by Buxton Model Boat Club member Keith Holmes.
