Great fun Peter. Is that a still lake or moving water you are sailing on?

Welcome Timbo,
I think you will find on here and other specialist Model Boat sites that weathering of models in now done to a very high standard. It is not so easy on period ships, which tend to be static models, as any weathering can just look like a badly finished model. there are exceptions of course..

| Thread: The "Real" death of English Cricket |
| 06/06/2009 08:10:27 |
Now I know that Peter Fitness and others down there in Aus have not stopped laughing yet, but after a day in which the British Governments cabinet became made up of more non elected people than elected, making a mockery of the word, democracy, English Cricket really did die.
Beaten by a team that only has 6 grass pitches in it's country and sports 6000 mainly amateur players, the might of England were humled by the Dutch (or is it Netherlands....I never know the difference!!). The Dutch were magnificent, played like their lives depended on it, a credit to their country and their flag. England on the otherhad were woeful. There should be a shirt burning ceremony this morning at Lords, followed by a Memorial Service for a game that has truely and finally died............................... |

| Thread: Where is George Turner Models |
| 04/06/2009 08:24:59 |
| Got a very quick reply from Adrian and a very nice fellow he seems too. His shop looks superb. Unfortunately the figures he has are too modern for what I need, but at least HE tried....Still no answer from Turner, so I have deleted his site from my favourites..A real Shame.. |

Peter,
Only once did I make a complete model using plastic card and I totally lost interest in it, long before it was finished.......Never again...As for a glowing cooker range.....well now there is a thought!!

Peter,
1mm ply, carefully cut out. A coat of sanding sealer and gloss black. This will be followed by matt varnish to dull it down. The rest of the worktop is done with a product I hardly ever use.....plastic card.. |

Onto some detail for a change. I have started to build the main superstructure, planked the bulkheads in the galley, made up a workbench and started the stove, which will be finished when I know what type it would be. Also made up a kitchen wall unit, which has to be painted white.

| Well at least we know he is still alive and kicking!! A shame though as his system is costing him customers......I have had no reply to emails to both addresses, which, if I had not used him before, would put me off.. |

| Oh my......Confusion reigns.........Not having much knowledge of electronics all that means absolutely nothing to me, although I do understand the principle that the prop will slow the motor down so a gearing will increase it's speed... |

| Love it. Great start |
| Thread: Tugboat Craig |

| Thanks Peter, sound sa great idea, but I only have asmall lathe attachment for wood, so looks like I will have to get a gearbox. I think I will try ACTion Electronics......Mind you if I do that Dave will persuade me to part with big money....that said, his gear is great.. |

| Would good old PTFE tape, (plumbers tape), not do the job?? |

Yabbie 1,
Great to know you are still checking in. I really am enjoying this build, it rreally tests the brain and skill levels. I will do as you suggest and get a gear reduction for the motor.
In the mean time, I will try to make some progress on the superstructure..... |

Thanks sammyk,
Unfortunately as i have limited access to water, my builds tend to sail a couple of times and then end up in a case, so i think I will go with it. If I am fortunate enough to find a good sailing water, I can always change it.. |

Make your own contribution to the Website
We welcome well written contributions from Website members on almost any aspect of Model Boating with a particular emphasis on practical hints, tips, experience and builds.
In order to maintain a consistent standard and format, all suggestions should first be sent to me by Personal Message for approval in principle. Only a very limited amount of time is available for editing contributions into a suitable format for placing on the website so it is important that the material is well presented, lucid and free from obvious spelling errors. I think it goes without saying that contributions should be illustrated by appropriate photos. I shall be happy to give advice on this.
The Member Contribution area offers space for short informative mini articles which would not normally find a place in Model Boats magazine. It is an opportunity for Website Members to freely share their expertise and experience but I am afraid that virtue is its own reward as there is no budget to offer more material recompense!
I look forward to receiving your suggestions.
