Dusseldorf
I have finally finished the Krick Dusseldorf. I am very happy with the results. I have done a few modifications along the way and added a few colours. There are 16 working functions including three lighting circuits, anchor, radar, monitors and a crane. I have really enjoyed making this one even though it has taken four years.

Police Launch.
This launch has taken me three years to build. It is not a difficult model to make but after about six months of building I moved it to my house in Hungary to complete on my holiday. Unfortunately I was a little too confident on how much time the other half would allow me to work on her. I have now retired here so two years later, I have finally finished her, almost.

Pilot Boat.
I have really enjoyed building this little boat. The painting, as always, I found a challenge. I am really pleased with the performance and the finished result. It has taken me around six months to build only being able to fit time in around a busy work schedule. Looking forward to the next one now.

(Racing Boat) Genesis
I bought this boat to give me some running time whilst I complete a major overhaul of my Patrol Torpedo Boat and build my Police Launch kit. I plan to try it for the first time next week in my local river. I would like to thank Doug (RNinMunich) for all his help to get the boat connected electrically as I have not used brushless before and needed to complete quickly. The boat is on it`s way Doug. Note. it is faster than 24km/h. Ran out of options. The instructions say 55km/h. (Motor: 3674 2074KV) (ESC: Hoddyking 125A Water Cooled) (9/10)

Patrol Torpedo Boat
I built the boat many years ago. I am about to embark on a full refurbishment. I intend to re-paint and add all new guns and deck items. (Motor: MFA Marlin) (ESC: Futaba) (6/10) The refit will include the motor being replaced with a brushless unit with a suitable replacement ESC.

Big Blue 2, (Under licence).
I was talking to Martin yesterday, our third in command, (Steven being First Sea Lord as he has the site switch), about the making of Big Blue 2. Although we had a hard negotiation regarding a production licence, he has kindly allowed me to make a similar item as long as I show the build here.
I purchased a barrel from ebay yesterday which cost me ยฃ15. Fortunately, the seller was only eight miles away which made collection quite easy.
I have several pictures for reference so all should go reasonably well but if any members have improvement ideas, I am all ears and I will have further discussions with Martin to see if these infringe on his almost registered design. (He has to ask the wife).
I will start soon but due to a pending trip, it might take a while.
Peter.

Pilot Boat
Winter approaches again so what better than a new project,.......to go along with the other two yet to be completed. I have excuses. Honest!!
This new one is a bit different again. No wood at all this time. It is the Aero-naut Pilot Boat. I thought it didn`t look too much of a task but I think I will have to re-assess as it is tricky in parts.
I have assembled the hull frame, which although the parts are rather loose fitting until glued went ok. I have, however, stumbled slightly on the next stage, to fit the hull skins.
The instructions suggest to cellotape them in place prior to glueing. Not as easy as it sounds as considerable bending of the parts is required to get them to fit, too much for the tape. Does anybody know of an easier approach please. The ABS is extremely difficult to hold in position when trying to tape it, which incidently, does not hold anyway. Should I warm up the skins or will this distort them and give a rippled finish. Any help here would be appreciated.
I will continue with the refurbishment of the Patrol Torpedo Boat for now as I have been trying to manipulate the sides of the Pilot boat into place for hours, no, days!!.

Hi Colin.
It is so sad to hear of your continuing troubles. It is clear that you are coping very well under such pressure. I know a little of what you are going through and can only say hang in there as things will get a little better.

There is another good film with Kirk Douglas, I think, who is the captain of an aircraft carrier of modern day transported back to 1941 and the attack on Pearl Harbor during a strange storm. I enjoyed this one also. I have it in DVD somewhere.
I have 12.01 on region one DVD also.

Ah. I see what you mean. The video does rotate because it appears that the boss didnโt quite get the instruction to keep the phone upright whilst filming.
I have attached my detail sheet JB. There are pauses in action as I try to find the correct switch etc for the different functions.
One other problem I did have was operating the crane. The left to right is on the same lever as the throttle and I kept adjusting the e speed by accident. Not sure how to solve that one. Not sure how to rotate the photo.

Hi Lew.
I have seen your length addition which you pictured on this blog earlier. Quite a task.
I have put a full wiring diagram in the blog in pdf format if that helps. You can find it about half way through.
I found them and have added here.
Peter.

It looks like the video attacked to the post ok.
I forgot to add another small problem. I have to alter the drive to the anchor as it slips too easily at present.๐

Hi Colin.
It amazes me that you still have room for new models.
I am so sorry to hear of all of your recent woes. I hope your wife recovers very soon and that all of the other terrible things that have happened around you are now as settled as they can be and that you can resume the best possible future life as soon as possible.
Peter.

Hi Bill.
So sorry to hear your news. I can only hope, along with you, that they have it wrong.
Your humour will be greatly missed on the site and when you feel better, slip in a joke or two. Make sure you put them in the wrong thread though because I really enjoy the whinging afterwards.
Best wishes Bill.
Pete.

Thanks Doug but I must confess, it has been down to sheer luck with finger stabs. I think that every question should have Titanic, Lusitania and Bismark as three of the options.๐ฌ
