Hello Chugalone,
Goodness gracious! . . . you're really quick! Do you have that much snow, or does your wife help you?
You really have golden hands . .
But it's amazing how well this kit is prepared in its individual parts.
I'm looking forward to seeing the end product
Perfect youngster!!!

Hey Chugalone!
I took your advice about relaxation therapy to heart.
And I did so before going to bed. I slept deeply and long, and kept my wife awake at night with my sawmill!!!

Hi Eric,
Here is the link to the operating instructions.
I had similar problems and reset everything to factory settings. Then I used the boat that I need most often as my first boat.
Our club is aware of the problem, which is why everyone has a remote control for each boat. This means that someone else can ride along if you allow them to. In my case, it's my grandchildren who enjoy cruising around with Grandpa.
Hopefully, a few others will come forward with better answers.

Hello All,
Better once too many than once too few, that was what my doctor said.
I had this operation 14 years ago and I am still doing very well today. At a certain age, you just become more cautious.
I wish you all good health and a long life so that we can enjoy your new model boats.
Think positively and keep the sun in your heart!
Yours freshwater sailor and landlubber

Good morning, everyone!
It's amazing what machines you all have! But I have to say that a laser device is simply the best thing for me, and I can really put it to good use.
There is one prerequisite for this:
You have to be able to work with CAD. I myself work with 2D to test my presentation skills. 3D is much easier, but the free software is really cumbersome and tends to crash.
But craftsmanship is still the beauty of it all and the success that comes with it.
It's just a cool hobby.
So I wish you all lots of fun and hope to see many beautiful models in the future.
Your Michel-C.
Attached are a few pictures of me cleaning the laser cutter. Normal dirt that needs to be removed. If you take care of your equipment, it will always be ready to go.

Hello Alessandro, Hello all!!
Thank you for your praise, good thing you can't see my red cheeks . .
. . . Depending on the situation, I won't show the photos . . . if I'm lying in the water, because the floor is slippery . .
Oh, come on! You should have some fun too if I happen to have a mishap. Laughter gives you beautiful skin and makes you look good.
And when I look in the mirror in the morning, I see a smart aleck with a smile on his face anyway! Cool, huh?

Hello friends,
Now we are waiting for our pond to thaw so that the water test can be carried out.
Here are a few pictures of the completed work. The light can now be operated by remote control.
In summer, weather permitting, we will set up the harbour in the evening once a month. To complement this, a club member will organise the barbecue, sausages, bread and drinks. This will allow us to fully enjoy the night-time atmosphere with lights.
There are still a few details that need to be worked out, but that will be done after the upcoming water test. My mate will take some amusing pictures there.
My helpful club mate has another ace up his sleeve, but he's keeping quiet about what he's working on...
But honestly, it was a worthwhile experience and I always look forward to his new ideas, which I end up adopting! What the heck, I'm retired!
Your Michel-C.

Helloouu and Good Morning Friends,
Translating from English into German can sometimes be challenging. That's just how it is when you learn English as your fourth language.
As a landlubber, I have to read twice to understand what is meant!
As I said, you never stop learning, even as a grandfather!
🤣🤣🤣 😉😉😉

Hi Jan,
>>> "Mike Stoney" does not sound like you took part in 1291 . . .
Yes. However, it was my nickname in the band Pearls from 1970 to 1995.
Back then, in addition to making music and model boats, I also collected
stones and crystals from our mountains.
Now that I am retired, model building is our main activity during the winter.
Is everything clear about the short version of yours truly?
Salut Jan,
Michel-C. from Rothenburg/Lucerne

Hello everyone!
As I mentioned before, I have a model waiting for me... well, there will be some work to do on the construction!
A complete solid wood module at the front, the same at the rear near the rudder and drive, as well as a closed frame unit every 8 cm. . .
A stand model, basically. 🙈🙈🙈
Somehow I'll manage it.
But first I have to finish the harbor, then fit the sailboat with new sail ropes inside and... and... and...
But who am I telling this to, when I see your successes! Great work, friends!

Hello friends,
There's something else I'd like to explain:
You may be wondering why our club harbor is called
“Harbor of 1.6 Hectares of Freedom.”
A young filmmaker made a film about our club as part of his final project and titled it: 1.6 Hectares of Freedom.
How did he come up with that?
Quite simply because our club pond is 1.6 hectares in size!
And there we find peace and freedom in nature. . . .
That's right!

Hello all . . .
Since New Year's Day, the construction site has moved from the somewhat chilly basement into the flat.
I have a deal with my wife: Friday afternoon must be tidy and clean so that Saturday and Sunday can be peaceful!
No work is allowed in the harbour shipyard.
In return, she actively helps me.
But today, Sunday, she broke her deal.
We found some beard lichen while out walking. At home, she insisted on planting a couple of trees. I never argue with that. Now we'll finish up next week and do the electrical work.
Then we'll do the water test again, but we'll wait until the end of February for that.
My ships have filed charges because I pushed them aside.
Well, if you want one thing, there will always be others who have to wait their turn!
Ciao tutti!
Your Michel C.

Hello Andy-W.,
Perfect winter work!
I would love to bring something like this to life too. But here at our club, the harbor construction is coming to an end.
Then I'll have time again for my “cellar skeletons.”
I'm excited to see your work! Good luck!
See you soon, your Michel-C.
PS: With a little imagination, you can achieve anything, as I did with my Dolores, a sternwheel steamboat.

Hey M.-67!
Soft soldering works well with soldering grease and a medium soldering tip approx. 2-3 mm wide.
Brazing is not possible because white metal has a low melting point before the brazing alloy flows.
If possible, only use brass with brass. This is my experience, and I solder all railings with soft solder. It's easier to “rework”!
Where pressure builds up (steam engines), you should use hard soldering.
Okay?? Good luck!!

“Grüezi Mitenander” >> Hello everyone!
The biggest problem is addressed here, but we must not forget that a lot has changed technically and that various apps such as TikTok and similar ones unfortunately captivate our boys and girls.
The other day, my daughter told me that her youngest grandson said to her:
“First read the instructions carefully and do it step by step, just like Grandpa does when he builds model ships.” Cool, right?
In any case, he asked me to help him build his second remote-controlled Kon-Tiki.
Maybe he'll encourage others at school to do the same.
We grandparents are skilled at passing on skills: craftsmanship, the joy of repairing things, under the motto “recycling.”
For example, there is the “Repair Café,” where you can bring an appliance on Saturdays and get help to make it work again.
Sometimes you just have to want it! But who am I telling this to...

Hi all!!
Yes, but I did it differently.
Each of my children has a boat with their name on it, even my grandchildren are not spared. That's how I solved my problem.
Selling is one thing, but if it's a real enthusiast, I think that's okay.
Rogal, it hurts a little, doesn't it? Be honest...

Since everyone else is sending their congratulations, I would like to send you all my best wishes from Central Switzerland, near Lucerne, more specifically in Rothenburg.

Hello dear friends,
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Today I received a crazy phone call from my harbour builder friend.
Despite the problem with the batteries, which need to be replaced, he is secretly building a third harbour section... I'm slowly having to come up with something for the space. Well, a stacking solution as suggested can no longer be dismissed.
And what is Michel-C. doing?
Laser cutting a new house, despite the many construction sites. I'll hand this over to him in the shell. Master painters wanted!
Now I wish all of you on this page a wonderful Wednesday morning and a happy New Year in 2026, along with a sack of luck, health and everything else we need. Oh yes! A large tube of glue and lots of craft wood! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
See you again in 2026! 😎😎😎
BB Your Michel-C.
PS: Barrels created with a 3D printer. It's amazing what you can do with these things. The paint and lights are still missing...
