Are you able to remove the deck? I think that is too big a gap.😛

Are you saying that there is a 3mm gap between the deck and frame work?

I got a set of fittings from Vintage a few years ago, for the 34” model. Look great once cleaned up and painted.

📝 How do you draw bulkheads etc, from a 2 view plan?

Those drawings are in 3rd angle projection. Ist angle used to be used in the UK, and sometimes called English projection.
You need to draw, i.e. copy those views, Front and Plan , on to some drawing paper, then project an end view. Difficult to explain without showing you. Have you a drawing board and instruments ?

I use Aquadhere, which is a waterproof PVA type glue. I also use epoxy resin for some bits.

Very realistic! A pity the shadow of the giant, and his car, was in the video. 👍

My SG 1 works well, and looks good, in my Clyde Puffer. However, only works on 14v--- not the 6 to 7v recommended

I was a sub lieutenant, but have been demoted to leading seaman? Is that because I went AWOL?

Hi Alan,
I, too, am building a Clyde Puffer. Mine is scratch built ,and same scale as yours. I have installed a 6:1 brushed electric motor. I wanted scale speed . The shaft length was 11" from memory.
Interested in how you get on. Clyde puffers were lovely ships.
Cheers Hugh

Thanks to all of you who gave me some advice. I found out that The crystal on the transmitter was missing. it was in the box, so plug in and great joy! Tears of happiness. I bought this set years ago in Dorchester, Dorset on a trip to see my parents. I think it is a bit cheaper to buy here, but I will compare next back in the UK.
Cheers, and thanks again guys, much appreciated.Hughie😎
