HMS EXETER
Here are pictures of HMS Exeter - I built her over a period of time plank on frame hull, covered in styrene to simulate plating on the hull. The deck is all planked with individual planks - the guns are fully rotating and elevating but not firing :-).

- JOHNMidshipmanHi there
senile moment for me :-) as there is already a short build of HMS Exeter on here if you do a search - you will come across the build by me and there are some closeup pics on there.

RTTL IN SLOW MO
here's a short clip of my RTTL tearing up the lake :-) she has 2 MTroniks 600s driving 30 ml brass props both rotating in the same direction as in the real boats and she has 2 x 4300 mAmp ni-cad batteries in. Lasts for about 15 mins full chat :-)

Fairacre broads cabin cruiser
Saved from a farm rubbish bin and restored. It was originally scratch built from a 60s/70s RCM ? plan. Photos of rebuild are in the harbour. Not sure if it was originally built in the UK and immigrated to NZ as it's an unusual subject for a NZ build. Plans are apparently still available.
I've just found some info on Bates 'Starcraft' cruisers, UK. Looks like the original R/C plan may have been modeled on a version of one of the 'Starcraft' variants.

- jbkiwiFleet AdmiralThe farm is a fair way from the sea,- someone was not on watch obviously. Not my car, some guys doing building maint. We can park on that cobbled area you've pictured on the opposite side, (room for about 8-10 cars,-usually chokka when the yachts are racing) There is a nice little jetty built by the Gulf Harbour Model Yacht Club next to it which is great for setting up and launching. It's all part of the big Gulf Harbour Marina development and pond is actually a drainage control pond.
Was full of Koi carp to keep the weed down (carp were rented from a company by the council, but there was some dispute and the company came and removed their carp) probably missed a lot and they breed like flies, so it should come right. Pond's pretty weed free all the same. Pics of the jetty (from the HSL) with some old codger sitting on it, and the real HSL in the Bayswater Marina (Waitemata harbour Auckland), which I have been on board (once recently,-Modded- and once 50yrs ago-original form) Its' story is on the Waitemata Woodys website under W1.
The other pond is at the Onepoto reserve near the city on the waterfront. Bit of a drive (20mins down the motorway all the way) Yachts there as well. The pics with the Marine modellers club - Panmure Basin - East Auckland (the only scale model boat club in Auckland and virtually dead (pics are old), - only about 3 or 4 scale clubs in the country!) we tend to go more for the full scale here.

Ultimate Enticement
This is a 1984 re-issue of a Lindberg Chris Craft Sport fishermen purchased used on Ebay. Some of the parts where broken and some partially assembled. The model did come with 2 MACK RC motors and some fabricated wood parts, including a template for the aft deck. The interior was assembled from quarter scale doll house items except for the dinette. There are 4 underwater LED bulbs with a dedicated power supply. The running, interior and radar unit are powered by a separate systems from the hull electrics. The second Li-po battery is for backup and balast. There are number of additional items added since these photos were taken including a stern seat and larger radar array .

- Puddle-pirateChief Petty Officer 1st ClassYes it's a full width rear seat but without a backrest. I'll post the new photos in the next couple of days.
- Puddle-pirateChief Petty Officer 1st ClassHow is your build coming? I'd like to see some photos when you get a chance...Liked by doghouse

Hellenic Navy - La Combattante IIIb class Fast Attack Craft
More great photos in this series taken by my friend at Albert Park Lake in Melbourne. These of my P28 - Ensign Simitzopoulos. Great wave patterns. These photos were all poster size in detail. I have had to shrink them to get them posted here. This boat is in my harbour.
The 1/35 scale boat is scratch-built, mainly from Balsawood and marine ply with a fibreglass covering. The guns can elevate and rotate. The radar units both rotate and there are LED navigation lights that I forgot to turn on. There is also a flashing red LED strobe warning system. It needs a little work to get the 4 LEDs a bright brighter.

Boat upgrade - Ongoing proyect
Here's my current project. This is an upgrade of an old model. I retained the hull from a German-made kit from the firm Krick (model "Lisa M") and re-made the upper deck and cabin using 3mm thick ABS plastic to resemble an American type "Down East" type boat. Here is on its sea trial past weekend and during its first light system test.

Z-39 German WW2 Destroyer
My scratch-built 1/72 scale Type 1936A (mob) destroyer, photographed by a good friend at Albert Park lake in Melbourne.
It has rotating turrets linked to the gun directors and rotating torpedo tubes, the front 6" guns elevate and there is also a ship's horn.

- RookysailorRear AdmiralGood way of revolving the turret Doug, but I've
taken the easy way by using a servomorph from
Action electronics😀https://www.componentshop.co.uk/p96-servomorph.html
using a couple on my 1/96 USS Kidd destroyer, will post when finished.
Peter😎Liked by RNinMunich - RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi Rooky,
Bit late getting back to you on this - bin kinda busy🤔
I hear where you're coming from (as our colonial brothers might say. Sorry Ed 😉)
Back then there wern't no Action Electronics / Component Shop so I just did what seemed logical! Worst (and smelly😝) part was making the circuit board.
No PC, CAD or even photo-reactive circuit board back then.
Yep, I know the Servomorph. I've bought one to experiment with on a Plastic Magic project.
To drive the gun turrets on a 1/350 King George V battleship, where there ain't enough room (never mind weight margin) to mess about with cogs and pulleys.
I'm thinking two micro servos, Y lead, or even independent AB and XY turrets.
My German Turnigy re-brand has two pots that I can assign to these!
Many thanks to Colin-H for sending me the KGV kit in a wonderful package of 'stuff' as recompense for renovating and converting his Taycol Supermarine motor.
Was like Christmas all over again 😊
Cheers, Doug 😎
glasses needed from Specsavers
Trying to alter the side of the lake when I went on Sunday - bumpsa daisy :-) and it did send one of the gun turrets into the lake but fortunately I got it back :-) sorry about the sound track though :-)

Seaplane tender ST480
🤞I noticed there are a great deal of RAF plans for various fire tender etc but is there a kit for a Seaplane Tender like ST480 (based at Lyme Regis where this photo was taken) that picked up a pilot off Chesil Beach on 8th November 1941. I am about to put on a display regarding the aircraft and pilot and their history and I have a model of the aircraft a Curtiss P40 Tomahawk and would love to have a Seaplane Tender model on display.
