    Lord Nelson Victory Tug
    From the same estate sale. Her paint is blistering off the hull. She is Covered in canvas on the hull, so I will strip her, glass her and repaint her. All electronics as well. I will update the photos when she is done.

    Wacht am Rhein
    I got this boat back in 1996 from Deans Marine. Scale is 1/32 Length is 965mm Beam is 180mm The model is of an 1893 Rhein Tug. She has a glass fibre hull with a detailed moulded hull. the deck housings are in Vacformed plastic and 1mm sheet plastic, and the fittings are in white metal, the ships boat on mine is resin cast. Today's models have laser cut decks and deck housings, fittings are in light alloy. All in all she is a good model to make, and like all Deans kit's there is room to make her your own.

    Tid tug
    Today was the first time on the water for the tid tug to check the ballasting, speed and wether I had any leaks. All seemed fine, so for my second build from plans I’m really happy. I still have a fair amount of work to do on her, but at least it’s very usable. It’s got a 540 motor with 6:1 reduction gearbox driving a 50mm prop, and it plods along nicely but has a bit of extra speed if I need to blip the throttle. It is built in 1/24 scale from plans purchased from Sarik, and has a 6v Pb battery.

    Flower class corvette
    Not built to a specific ship, but made to my liking. Way to fast on the water at the moment with a 360 motor and 35mm prop, so going to try a 30mm prop

    RNLI Shannon class lifeboat
    This is my Speedline Models “Shannon” lifeboat at 1:16 scale. Possibly my favourite build so far, it took the best part of 5 months! Running on brushless motors pushing water through Oceanworks jet drives (very much like the Hamilton’s on the full size) very scale like.

    Morston - H A Kits (small version)
    She's finished and sailed well on her first outing on a wet miserable day. The wind was blowing hard and there was a bit of a swell on the pond at Clevedon, but I was very pleased, she seemed a little bow heavy until I remembered that she is a model of a working boat, not a cruiser and then I realised that she looked right! Everything worked she turned and ran well, no photos of this one unfortunately it was raining too hard but when she is sailing next time I will add the photos of her on the water. Really enjoyed building my first model in 52 years a big thank you to everyone who has helped with their advice and encouragement. I will hopefully build another one soon, certainly not as long a gap as the last time!
