I am about to start building this model of an existing Orkney island ferry - due to be in service until 2025.
Construction started, all port holes and windows cut out, deck access doors and rear ramp cut out. Running gear loosely fitted prior to alignment and epoxying in place.
Photo is of the real vessel in its short form, it has now been lengthened by 4.5m. (Motor: Mtroniks 600) (5/10)

Model Slipway kit of a full size buoy maintenance/survey vessel still working out of Leith harbour, Edinburgh.
Maiden voyage took place a week ago, it still needs work to finish it. it performed really well with a very tight turning circle.
Further testing shows a more realistic speed using a 6volt power source instead of the original 7.2volts. (Motor: Electronize 545-12) (ESC: Mtroniks Viper 15) (8/10)
