Galley News

This boat represents a small inter-island coastal freighter that would carry almost anything from the mainland to the islands of any coast. I don't know what the actual speed is, but it is just slightly faster than scale. It has a 6V battery that I have never run down on an outing. Galley is hard chined, very responsive, and (I think) presents well on the water.

SMS Komet

Built from the Dean's Marine kit S Y Komet from 2009 to 2011 with added features such as brass props, lighting to hull, lower & upper decks, wheelhouse, navigation and mast searchlight, Steam Master smoke module, sound module from Model Sounds Inc. (klaxon, fog horn, twin triple expansion steam engines, 8mm machine gun and 37mm canon. Two machine gunners which rotate. If link below doesn't work just type in SMS Komet on YouTube. Should have posted this when I built it but it was my first build after retiring and new to everything. Lockdown has made me stop to record more. Some of you may have seen it at MB shows (who remembers them?) so we need more videos etc!

Mantua Mincio

My first model boat build for about 30 years. Mincio is all wood construction with balsa planked on frames and clad with mahogany planking. a simple boat to build and sail. Very small motor 280, which drives small two bladed prop. Kit comes with motor, shaft and prop and rudder and all deck fittings. I use a small pond so the size is ideal and looks good on the water, not swift but goes well. small rubber band drive between motor and prop shaft. I change the band on each sailing as I have experienced transmission failure mid pond on one occasion!

My-Jen

My-Jen is another RTR model. I purchased just because I really like her lines! My-Jen is a classic yacht model! Her hull is fiberglass! Her superstructure is 2 mm plastic! My-Jen is named after my Wife Jennifer! Maiden Voyage Soon! PS. No one can tell it's an RTR! That's how well she was built!

Valhalla

A model of a fictional modern trawler based on a hull from Bill Wood in Aberdeen the access is great as the whole shelter deck removes. Although its only 23 inches long there is lots of room as its so beamy and the whole hull opens up. There are some fittings available from Scoonie Hobbies but I was forced to make some myself.

Lesro RNLI Atlantic 21 RIB

This is my “Lesro” Atlantic 21 RNLI RIB. This was 95% scratch built after buying the sponsons and hull of eBay and then completely remaking all the details. I have made a detailed blog of the complete build on the forum. Point to not at this point is the figure is not quite complete as more detailing painting still to be done. I’ll add an update once finished....

Vosper MTB 77 - Italeri kit

😋I have just finished refurbishing this boat. It was given to me by a Club members wife whose husband had passed away. The boat was made some years ago and was in a fragile state as the adhesive used had dried out. The parts almost fell off and I managed to strip the model completely down and repaint and build it again. I have installed new prop shaft, prop, motor, rudder assembly and RC throughout. 'Sea' trials will be held soon as long as I can properly seal between the hull and the deck.

U.S.S. Melvin

Plastic Revel model that was made into a R/C model and again I haven't run her in a while .USS Melvin was also known as the Blue Devil I think . Original kit had a system to run in circles & figure Eights so a rudder & speed control was needed
