Just got hull delivered DE1040 Garcia
The hull made by scale shipyard in California arrived n it is perfect. This is the ship I served on 65-67 right after it was built n moved to east coast. I worked ECM on the ship. I will build it as it was after changes made at Boston shipyard. It will be RC powered. I have a lot of pictures of details from a cruise. Suggest anyone looking fir scale ship parts n hulls go to scale shipyard in California.

Creole Queen by Dumas build
Slowly sanding n glueing. Figure several more months work. Iโm in California for the Grammys February so Iโll loose one or two months on west coast. I will glue main deck to hull next. Then set up paddles. Once that is done Iโll paint the cabins and attach them. Next will be railing n stairs ( assembled stairs already). I might get to pick material fir window curtains today. Hull came out nice. Iโll put rudder tubes in tonight. It is a lot of work. I need to clean shop floor of wood n dust accumulation tonight. Best model to build fir winter months. I still work as I own company but find relaxing on ship at night relaxing. I did ladders last nite while watching tv.

Sorry to hear this. Iโm MA all but one hobby shop has gone. Iโm buying old kits n building them. On line mostly. The last hobby shop here was in Marlboro. The owner couldnโt get a buyer. I even tried but no bank would help. When he closed he gave me a few nice large kits n I bought others at his cost. We have one Rc store in FoxBoro and a plastic kit shop near there. When my kids were on tour with band in Europe n Australia I had them look for kits. I got a 3D printer from grandson as he had no interest anymore. Built parts with it for some ships. I tried an airplane but it took forever for a part to print. It is expensive n as you say China you cant compete with. It is sad the company is going away.

Looks like a Calder tug boat I owned once. It was for sale at a shop in Salem MA. They closed and boat never seen again. Fiberglass hull and very good parts. Nice job

Got to see the Bounty replica used in movie. When I lived in Puerto Rico it was in port a lot. The lady that ran the crew thru a friend introduced me to her. I got a tour. She was on it up until it sank. Then she moved to Boston n lived on a big sailboat. Last heard she had 2 boats n sold them after getting married n lives on dry land in Masssachusetts. The ship was amazing but had all the modern nav gear n bathrooms. Auxiliary power too. I still canโt figure how they move the sails to get it all working. They did have power wenches disguised

Iโm using flashcloud and thier printer. They gave meds slicer software so I could cut parts I donโt need out. The support structures are a pain. I couldnโt make decent railings as I couldnโt get the garbage away. I use plastic as well as light weight filaments. Both have thier problems. In the end it works for ship parts. I did an entire sub it took days to get parts run.

I know the hms Agincourt I was on it in uk a couple of times in 1966 when we did a NATO cruise hit Plymouth, liverpool and then did rest of Europe n sea exercises with Agincourt Iโm not sure what that type was I think I have a pic or two. F25? Iโm guessing it had open gun mount n bridge was not like ours. They had rum we had Coca Cola a little swapping worked well.

You have a nice powerful engine n esc. If hooked up n it runs backwards just swap one of the 3 wired to motor. It will make a cool outboard running on a 1200 ma or 2000 ma battery all u need is a servo to move engine left ir right otherwise rudder is needed.

RNinMunich your right except we are being invaded in the name of that religion. It isnโt Isreal it is the western world! In USA we have millions that crossed the border n not vetted if health checked. Almost all makes of military age. We feed, cloth, give then cash cards, free laundry in the hotels n all benefits each state offered. Meanwhile our vets n homeless are on streets. They go in groups n kick or hit with sticks the citizens. All they knew was chaos n now cause it here. It is worse in Europe, Japan and Australia. It isnโt against one religion itโs against all who are not them. They have come to west illegally for benefits and a larger number for religion. If your not of them your an infidels and will be taken out. I agree we wonโt be here to see but our family will. Iโm buying more kits befire they get outlawed n our ponds taken over. Our parks have been here in Massachusetts already. Stay safe all you model ship sailors n vigilant. Hobby shops closing, paint supplies dwindle as well as materials like Balsa. Sorry to put this out there but it does effect our hobby!

I had sane problem after a dozen years in Puerto Rico I became accustomed to weather. Moved back to Massachusetts n I freeze in summer.
Iโm just about done with my DE1040 Garcia 5 foot ship. I have printed the side stabilizer paddles n will put on next. A few paint touch ups n itโs finally done. I need to build the DASH drone as final part.

It looks beautiful. I sold last year a boiler made here in Massachusetts. It worked on AC power. I thought I could convert it to using stereo to heat it. I decided to just sell it off. It was made in early 1900. It worked n had a piston motor n flywheel.

Iโm not sure what you have but check on Exosomes. They are a stem cell derivative for regenerative medical. It can rejuvenate a lot of things like organs, skin, muscle, bone. In USA a process called PrP can make it from your blood. Overseas you can get it from a few places as rules easier. There is one company that has fda approved drug master file approval. It has no dna or live cells n is the only one you can use in USA. It has been shipped overseas to a few countries and they export licenses. I have friends who used it with good results. One fixed his knee so he didnโt need knee replacement. It worked very fast. Read up on it Google exosones therapy for ( fill in whatever you have as problem) your born with exosomes t birth but they slow down after about 50 yrs. I would look at the injectable form for best results. It is real n the newest medical field rejuvenation of inflammation of cells. It has as a side effect nothing except it wonโt fix disease your born with in some cases. Do some research on Google sorry to hear of your situation.
