As the proud owner of P94 number 1, I can tell you it is an amazing piece of kit. Don't hesitate, just buy one........

| Thread: Bob's boards? |
| 29/03/2009 09:36:04 |
This thread brings back memories.....I put a bobs board in my old Talacre, built 23 years ago. After years of neglect and no use, and I do mean years, maybe 15......I got the boat out, brushed the dust, wiped the connections and into life she sparang. The board still works as good as the day it was put in. A great piece of kit....I would love another one..

Good morning Yabbie 1. Your design and article were excellent and inspired me to have ago at scratch building a hull for an RC model. It is good to know we have "The man" available to answer questions. By the way, I am sorry but I used the medieveil way of marking out the frames, using a compass point, I just found it easier....sorry.
Peter,

Hi Chaps,
I have just started building the Craig. I have the frames cut out and the base board marked up ready to take the frames. This is the first fibreglassing I will have ever done.
Stephen,
I have built several working models, so just ask away.
Chris,
I am not quite sure, Inuderstand your question. Getting the lines right for a good fit is a matter of trial and error. try using a card template, cutting it down till you are happy with the profile and transfer this to the wood. |

| I think Scratch building is something we really have to aspire too and involves a lot of confidence. I am currently building the Craig ffrom a Model Boats plan and in doing so will move into an area I have never done before; fibreglassing a hull. |

Hi Jason.
Where are you based. I could be interested in the Berlin, but I live in Spain, so you would have to be close to one of my relatives if in UK.

Bob, You keep going. I have a smoking stack in my Talacre made with a an old and empty tin of airfix paint with wires passing through it into which is placed a thin oil which smokes when a current passes through it. It doesnt give out much smoke though so am working on a different method on my next one, the Lady T steam tug. Bye for now. |

| I have just ordered a hull and plans set from Mobile Marine Models and found Bryan Ward to be so enthusiastic and helpful. For any one out there thinking of starting in model boating, give him a ring. He is a genuine chap who will go out of his way to help you. |

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.
