HMS Nelson
A challenge that I couldn't get into so finally started.
My stepson bought this and then decided that it was not his forte so now down to me. My wife's father served on Nelson during the war- so no pressure !!. Just installed the prop shafts and now working on the rudder fitting. This will be interesting as the actual location holes aren't lined up. As this is going to be rc,slowly slowly as the saying goes. Kit is Trumpeter, scale 1:200

Charity shop find
Our neighbour saw this in a charity shop and thought I might be able to create something. Eventually came up with this -a sort of coal barge with a working crane, basically constructed from whatever scraps I had around the garage. Sails Very nicely and happy with the results

Veron trawler
Hi everyone, some photos of my Veron trawler circa late 1960's which I was given to complete by a friend who was no longer able to finish it due to health issues. Had been sat in his left for at least 20 years. The mice had enjoyed the build plans plus some of the ship. Diesel engine was seized and wiring shot, age and mice related.

Gravy boat
A fun project to hopefully bring a smile .
Picked this up for the grand sum of ยฃ2.99.
A "bit " unsteady afloat, however some ballast will sort this out. Initial problem is trying to make a suitable hole for the prop shaft in the ceramic. Think I need to invest in some new drill bits as taking longer than I thought it would. More to follow

A lovely looking vessel Mike, hopefully someone won't miss out on this. Unfortunately not for me, distance from Somerset is to far plus my relationship with yachts isn't great - need more practice ๐

๐ Gravy update
25 days ago by
๐ฌ๐ง Doogle (
Captain)

Finally managed some "me " time tonight. Prop tube is in place and prop shaft plus prop assembled/ currently drying. Motor lined up from the spares box ๐ฆ and "dry fit " carried out. Next question ๐ค, where to mount the rudder? After a bit of pondering I've decided to mount this underneath. The thought process is that the rudder tube will be long enough for me to mount a simple mast topside which will then move as the rudder turns so as to give the impression that the wind is playing a part. Hopefully I won't break the boat with my next drilling exercise ๐, pictures not available as having issues with phone ๐
