    Hi philuk,
    Certainly was an interesting afternoon, reasonably priced cafe as well. Somebody evidently travelled over 100 miles. Lots of interesting stuff but keep your eyes open as it's not in order apart from the big machinery. You could easily spend around 3 to 4 hours in there. ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Having daughter and her partner staying with us for the week, took them out this afternoon to a place called " Oakham Treasures" just off jct 19 on the M5. Lots of memorabilia and quite a few bits and pieces of nautical history hence the post. Hope this brings back a bit of nostalgia to some of us ๐Ÿ˜Š. Wasn't all maritime ๐Ÿ˜€

    Hi, with regards to Glynn Guest models, one of my first attempts was the atc(h) followed on by the push tug. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of this, but I did find one of my push tug. Funnily enough I've just got hold of the plans for the "wrigley " stern wheeler.

    Good morning Roy, as far as I'm aware she was never run in the pre finished stage. The motor and rudder had been installed, followed by a "dry " assembly of the wheelhouse; then put away to collect dust in the loft for the next 40/50 yrs.๐Ÿ˜Š

    Enjoy, I was given one of these to complete by a friend of mine who was given this when he was younger and then sat in the loft due to health issues. Well the mice had been having a field day eating the instructions and and anything else they could sink their teeth into. However, I persevered and happy with the end finish. Enjoy your build. This is still one of my favourites to sail

    Boat related in the loosest sense.
    Created from an old Wellington boot, a takeaway cover, some plaster, a plant saucer and a coat hanger.
    Don't think I'll be sailing this one but it'll give the neighbours something to talk about ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Well, she's finished. Maybe not the best I've made, still it was a different challenge with the build instructions not so clear at times. Basically running on a 2 channel set up and for an experiment I added some basic led lights for night time. Had an initial sail this morning in the test tank, a little bit tender so some ballast readjusting to be sorted before next weekend ๐Ÿ˜€. A big problem is that the kit is flat bottomed, maybe a little keel added would help but we'll see how she sails. Initial run was good until one of the motors decided to seize up- back to the spares box ๐Ÿ“ฆ ,replace and try again later. If all goes well next weekend I'll try and post a video. Until then, a couple of photos from earlier. ๐Ÿ˜€

    Hi Roycv,
    With regards to the existing motor, I'll be switching for a new motor etc. My electronic skills are limited so I tend to work within my comfort zone ๐Ÿ˜Š. With regards to make and model there's nothing visible in shape or form hence any suggestions gratefully accepted. At least this gives me some pointers to research before I start.
