Halcon 1:100 Scale.

This was the cheapest model boat kit I could find, It was from China. The instructions were next to useless but I tried to make something reasonable. Martin.

'MOJO'

'MOJO' was a boat that i was asked to make for someone. I think i have achieved the original request. (The plan is just to make something that is functional and pleasing to the eye, something that will not be complicated and not have lots of bits that could brake off ) As you guys know i have not made a boat using wood for many many years, so i am quite pleased with the final outcome.

Tug Boat "Flora"

This was my attempt at graham93’s Lockdown challenge. All was going well until the main control PCB decided not to work. So will now sit on the shelf until i figure out another way to operate it. Martin555.

One hour challenge.

I just thought I would post this. It was a one hour challenge. The challenge was to make a boat and to put it in a car brake light bulb in an hour. I done this some years ago to raise some money for a charity. I did the challenge and raise £175.00 pounds. It is not that good but for one hour of my time it was worth it. Martin555.

Fast Attack Craft.

Well guys this is the final boat. And as you know my first attempt at designing a boat for the EeZeBuilt web site. The weapons are designed so that they can be made quite easily. I am not happy with it, there will have to be a lot of changes made. It will need to be bigger for RC. The Bow will need to be designed differently for the younger ones to be able to make this easier. Unfortunately I have made this a static model as I do not have enough RC Equipment. Length 20" Beam 4 1/4" Height 6" Martin555.

Evolution

Sorry Guys a total failure. I should of spent more time making it stronger. Length 27" Height 9" Width 4 1/2" Still it was something different. Martin555.
