Here in the UK 150ml spray paints at The Range stores - grab them while you can at £4.50 - cans are only 150ml but that's more than enough for a few coats of a 25inch boat 👍

What’s a local retail shop? I live in Lytham St Annes (next door to Blackpool and it’s famous tower/ I mean boat show 🙂 ) so you think b there’s a retail store within 200 miles of the place but sadly there isn’t unless someone can prove me wrong ?🤔

Nerys sounds like such a wonderful person and her memory will certainly be remembered especially in this forum. I know lots of members will find it difficult to posts to this sad news but I know they will all have fond memories of her contributions to this site and she will never be forgotten.
Condolences from a complete stranger who was touched by a lovely human being.

Warship life on Board - Series one and Two were brilliant - Captain Eleanor Stack (series 1) and captain Tom Trent (series 2) Brilliant leadership skills regardless of how you think the producers wanted to portray our Navy

Next Question :-) If I buy a 2 Channel Radio Control will I get the receiver with it ? On eBay it doesn't specify if a receiver is part of the package or If I buy brand new will one come with it ?

Now that I've ventured into the world of RC as part of my Sea Urchin build I've reached the point of installing the motor for the prop, so the question is why is there a brushed and brushless version of motors and what ESC and battery are needed? I was given the brushless motor with the kit but no other electrics.
