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!!.

I thought that HMS Hood damaged Bismarckโs fuel tanks during the sea battle which led to the sinking of Hood. Didnโt that lead to the final sinking of Bismarck? She had to slow down to dog for repairs, or so I thought. ๐ณ

Must put the drain plug back in. I am sinking fast.
These awkward questions have often had a clue in the question. A red herring today. Bah!!! Another 3 years and seven months before I get to 100%.

I would assume that the reason you lose percentage when absent is so that you do not get an advantage by answering only the questions you know the answers to. This might keep somebody on 100% having only answered one question per 30 days.

Thinking about it a little deeper, it is a good job that the Vikings didnโt transit the Northwest Passage using a Sunstone or we might be in a never ending loop of questions.๐ค

Hi Stephen.
It will be very interesting to see how these changes go. Thanks for taking the time to try something different.
On another note, I know that we here in Hungary are quite a small country in Central Europe but I am reasonably confident that there has not been a revolution or been taken over by another state recently. Please can we be put back on the world leader board for the question of the day.
Thanks.
Peter.

This question must have been asked 3 times now. How can I get it wrong every time! By the way, Hungary is still here as far aes I know but still missing from the list above. This happened last time there was a score process change.๐ค

I think it is a great idea to pay this tribute to Martin. I did not meet him personally either but was fortunate enough to have had numerous Skype sessions with him, the last only days before he left us. I can say that he was much more than a good bloke. He was the best bloke. He would never turn down a request for help. His humour, well, spend a couple of hours with him on Skype and you were made up for the week. A thoroughly great bloke. RIP Martin.
