About this boat
My first effort in something at this scale, 1:24, but for all my mistakes I love her, and am very pleased with her.
She's a static kit, and although she's designed to be motorised, I never had any intention of taking her down to the Gardens lake (as in Pavilion Gardens, Buxton, Derbyshire, UK) although I'm aware there is a flourishing boat club that meets there.
For the few that don't recognise her, she's built from the Mountfleet Clyde Puffer kit. A superb kit even if the instructions leave a lot to be desired. On that note, having so much enjoyed the puffer build, I'm currently building the Danny Boy Drifter from the same stable, but the instructions here are all but non existent. I'm coping, though this model isn't as good or interesting as the Puffer.

motorize and RC her. She would look marvelous chugging in the pond.

Photos of the Danny Boy, my current build coming as soon as I sort them out.
The details are taken care of to the maximum and it is truly a model worthy of admiration.
The color is given with skill and makes many details seem real.
Cheers Colin.
