Canada is in the throes of a national postal strike. No end in sight. You are not going to receive Parcels from the UK in a timely manner. The US postal service is not even accepting mail from American citizens to be shoved over to Canada🤔😔

Jumpugly, i too really like 1/2-hull models. Look fwd to seeing your interior. I was at a model train show recently, picked up a waterline model of a lobster boat. Very nicely weathered. Looks to be 1:20 or 1:22, so Garden-scale. Just needs a figure or two. Has lobster traps with floats.

Corning is a must-see even for non-technical persons. I watched glassworkers from the gallery. They insert a pontil rod into the open furnace & extract a glowing blob of molten glass, then form it into things such as $$$$$ paperweights. Don't be thinking you can purchase something inexpensive in the "giftshop", take a hi-limit creditcard with you. But it is worth the trip to see 13th century technology in operation.

Doorskins are an inexpensive source of 1/8" mahogany plywood. They typically measure 24-30" wide, 7ft long. I got mine at a HOME HARDWARE Building Centre. They are not marine grade which would guarantee that they have no voids within the Plies, but I have used these for years for many different types of woodworking projects and I have never encountered a Troublesome void yet

I got a small bottle of acetone at Dollarama, that is our Dollar Store chain here in Southern Ontario. It is the traditional nail polish remover, it is also very good for getting varnish type Coatings off of copper wire so that it can be soldered👍

With GPS being fully commissioned "now" i think the Loran-C antenna is superfluous. SOLAS (safety of life at sea) regulations require a 2nd, backup, HF antenna...for comms out past 70 miles. You will see crossed-loops antenna on some older vessels, that is the dirrction-finder antenna that zeroes in on AM broadcast stations to get a "fix" thru triangulation.

In 2020 and 2021 I had several falls that resulted in ambulance trips. My gerontologist outfitted me with an ODYSSEY, it goes on my wrist like a wrist watch and it has a accelerometer in it which detects a fall in any of three dimensions. The device also includes a cell phone and if I jar it then an operator comes on to check on me and if I don't respond then he has two other people to phone, to get them to check up on me. I believe the device is from Australia and I don't pay anything for it whereas the fall detectors in the old age homes the patient has to pay about $30 a month. I could have had one that hangs on a pendant around my neck but they felt that might interfere with the pacemaker telemetry so that is why I have the wrist watch type

Radio Regulations vary slightly between USA/CANADA, & then there are huge differences between NorthAmerica & Europe. Our 2.4 gear is in the ISM Bands (industrial, scientific, and medical) and there is a lot of other stuff in that band as well. I have seen video gear at 900 MHz which barely worked from a sub Marine back to its driver. In contrast 27 megahertz and the 70-band penetrate water to a certain extent. There is lots of inexpensive POV stuff on the market but Lou like you say it requires a lot of cobbling together of battery, camera, transmitter, antenna, and then the receiving end. And that cobbling together is difficult even when you know quite a bit about the electronics and their interconnections.

900MHz & 2.4 GHz don't work well if the antenna is immersed, for example, video feed from submarine camera, or 2.4 used for control.
And 2.4 in a carbonfibre glider fuselage is unreliable as the carbon fibre attentuates the rf signal intended for the receiver

Thankyou LewZ. You just triggeted some recollections of things i had read eatlier. You description is quite appt. Yes, years ago i had an HO switcher tjat used smoke fluid. My wife-at-the-time objected to me stinking up our 900-sq-ft bungalow, i eventually learned to run it less often & for a shorter time. Tje oil came in a tony squib, but it took years to burn it all when you seldom use. Next weekend we are driving over to the Hamilton Steam & Technology Museum. They will hav a shallow pond filled by hydrant, with scheduled events to give everyone a turn on the water. There is also a steam train on the property. Last year one gent had a really good water-mister in a tug, & it produced steam for a long time...not merely the 5 to 10min that we often see.

I bought a HENG LONG smoke generator intended for a tank which is diesel. It has been sitting in my incoming tray through months and months of other projects. My understanding is that I can use vegetable glycerin mixed with distilled water as smoke fluid altho some suggest using vape fluid. I wud really like to hav black smoke, you know, " rollin' coal ", billowing black. No instructions with the smoke unit. Any advice ???

Very nicely done. I hav 31 hulls in a large 1-bedroom apartment. Seriously considering wall brackets to keep them safe on my walls. Only one has sails, a trawler.
Peterd, when I restricted my building activities to the dining room table. Now I have the top of a huge deep freeze as one workbench and the dining room table as the second one and I am not getting as much done as I was able to when I was in my teens and building on Mom's dining room table
