RNLI Lifeguards inspired jet ski
Having seen models and the real thing I tried to find a model of a RNLI Lifeguard jet skiโs but failed. So I set about repainting a cheap toy to resemble one.
Itโs roughly 1/12th scale.

The third model I started it never completed due to buying and refurbishing other models! I decided I had better get on with it.

Aero Naut Classic
This was the second hull I built after my Mowe II and Iโve finally got away from the lifeboatโs and got round to adding the deck fittings. It has a 1500kv Overlander motor and goes like stink on a 3 cell lipo!
Itโs a wonderfully stable planing hull too.
Iโve now painted the windshield to simulate the frame.

1/12th Scale Arun 52-24 RNLB Mabel Alice
My recently purchased Arun 52-24 Mabel Alice the former Penlee lifeboat. A lovely model that just needs some crew figures and the wipers connecting to a servo so that they move.

1/12th Scale Waveney lifeboat
My Waveney lifeboat recently purchased but since re motored and its been on a serious diet to get rid of almost half a kilo of white metal fittings from the wheelhouse. I have replaced the single esc with a twin 50 amp set up and switched the motors to 850's. The result is now a far more stable model and true scale speed. Next up is to fit a rotating radar and working lights, its a lovely model a credit to the original builder and I'm hoping my extra details will take it to the next level.

1/16th RNLI Severn class lifeboat
My 1/16th RNLI Severn class lifeboat that will likely delay completion of the Tamar further still as she's in for refurbishment and a subject change. Currently none of the lights work and the radar is static, all of that will change and the aerial array is going to be updated to reflect the current fitment to the Yarmouth Lifeboat.

Atlantic 21 1/12th Scale
So my Tamar build has suffered a bit of late as I have obtained an old Lesro Atlantic 21, the old motor and speed controller have been replaced and some additional bits and pieces have been added such as a trailer towing loop to the bow, reflective tape, some RNLI decals and simulated throttle cables. First run out was this morning and I was rather pleased with the results.
