About this boat
Resolve was a class of ocean going tug built for the Admiralty just after WW1. The model is built from the Caldercraft kit and I am really pleased with the way it has turned out. The many white metal parts are of good quality and as you can see, there is much detail, all included in the box.
At the time of writing, the closest she has got to the water is for her hull only sea trials where she performed well.
The cardboard box you see contains the many white metal parts to give some idea of any extra ballast required.
She is currently gathering dust in my garage whilst I impatiently await for some kind of normality to return.

You've done a smashing job of it.
On your Resolve!

All I can say is Brilliant!!!👍

He is just having a 'quiet moment' between watches, away from all the hustle on the bridge.

As for the smokers (Graupner 6v units), I have just wired them up as per instructions.

and boy does she look good👍👍👍, how do you get the smoke units to pulse? it looks very effective.😊
Cheers, Pete
Cheers Marky👍
She looks fantastic!
I love her details!
And she looks quite nice on the water!
Also the smoke generators look great!
Cheers, Ed
I have considered adding more ballast, but the amount of extra weight, I feel, will be considerable, to displace the required amount of water.
Might experiment with a launching trolley.
and well done Chris👍
😎
Maybe a little more ballast is required though.
Excellent job.
Well done.

Many thanks to the photographer, Chris, aka Octman.
would love to get the kit from CC, but at over £600, it will have to wait till the lottery pays😁
Cheers, Pete
What a superb example of the boat building craft.
I dread to think how many hours have gone into her.
Is that sailor leaning on the stern in the white jersey the one I sent you a few months ago?
Congratulations on a job well done.
Bill👍👍
A real joy to see thank you.
Looking forward to see her in action.
Well done.

and I'm a CCR fan too 😊
A tip/word to the wise-
Lightly drape some cling film over her to keep the worst of the dust off😉
Here's hoping for an early Sea Trial🤞
Cheers, Doug 😎
