Progressing very nicely.Great looking boat.
|
|
|||
|
I really like the job you did on the woodwork.Looks great.Nice job on the rudder too.
|
|||
|
|||
Nice steam generator.Looks like it will work to your satisfaction.It will look great on the water.
|

Nice job Garth.Good to work on something while displaying at a show.Passes the time.
|

Great job on the paint.Must be nice to be able to paint outside.We're still waiting for the snow to disappear.We are only at 5 degrees.Lovely job.Can't wait to see it finished.
|
|||
|
|||
Nice installation of the electrics.Easy access.It might be better to plan the water cooling right now just in case something gets in the way.
|
|||
|
|||
|
You're doing a good job.Huge learning curve.Lots of patience.I enjoy watching the build.
|
|||
|
|||
The hobby also helps us to get back on track.Lovely model.
|
|||
|

Nice video.I like your sailing location.Especially liked seeing the Perkasa following the lead boat.Both are running good.
|
|||
|
|||
As was said,nice finish.We do make mistakes.As they say we learn by our mistakes.Back to the drawing board.

Doug,my thoughts are that a renovation is as close to a build you can get.It's done with love.We can still buy E-Z connectors here in Toronto.Let me know when you need some.
|
|||
|
|||
Nice area to sail your boats.Is it recent that you were able to sail? Right now we have ice pellets and freezing rain coming down.
|
|||
|
|||
|
E-Z connectors are the way to go.I use them all the time.Adjustments are easy to do.You don't have to pull everything apart.I really like the way your build is going.Finish is excellent.
|

Nice to see modified scooter running.Excellent running.Realistic speed.
|
|
|||
Great work.It shows you take your time with the detail.Inspiration to others to do the same.Love the beard.
|
|||
|
|||
|
Good example.Should help a lot.Just take it slow.
|
|||
|
|||
Nice runner.Good job on the build.Nice speed on it too.
|
|||
|

Judging from what you have done so far the ship's boat will be of the same quality.Excellent work.
|
|||
|

Very nice model

Very nice model.Even though the water area is small it is nice to have somewhere to run.Good job.

My Gina was a little tender in the water.When you get yours ready do a sail in calm weather.We had to take down the mainsail but in the wind she was still leaning and taking water on the deck.One member commented that it looked so real with the water coming out of the scuppers.No water was noticed when I brought her in to check the innards.
|
|||
|
|||
|
I may get it ready for the water again but I'm refurbishing a ship for a friend of mine and powering up a model for my daughter and her husband.My Gina 2 I can take the full deck off to gain access to the innards.This is a great help.
|
|||
|
|||
It's nice to see that one colour suits more than one boat.Great to hear you have a chance to run the boat.Hope all goes well.We still had snow coming down today.

[Score: 8/10] Twin Propellors (4 Blade) Direct Drive to a 2-550 motors (4 Blade) Powered by Lead Acid (6v) 10Amp/h Batteries Controlled Through 50amp ESC - Comments: This is a Graupner Premium Line.I wasn't happy with the universals and plastic 3 bladed props.Replaced the universals and changed props to 4 bladed brass.Also changed the prop shaft to a threaded 4mm shaft which I happened to have in my spares.She runs a lot better now with these changes.Still to come is lighting and sound.
