![]() 250 forum posts 88 photos | Finally had the Steam Launch delivered that I bought in early April Hannah Louise is the name and it's a scale boat originally electric powered then converted to steam.
The gentleman, now deceased, who built it has paid incredible attention to detailing it and making a scene of it rather than just a steam launch, I feel privileged to look after it for my time here. Regards Roger Edited By Roger Clark on 24/06/2020 14:26:23 |

![]() 802 forum posts 521 photos | I've got two boats in the dining room and two in the lounge at the moment whilst decorating upstairs. One of them has taken up home on the top of a bookcase in the lounge and has pretty much been accepted now so will probably stop there! Chris |

![]() 2176 forum posts 760 photos | Hi All. Strangely wife's are not always impressed by their name being attached to an old steam boat !! How about the "Jolly Roger" and you will need one of those 3 pointed hats ??? 😊 Plenty of grog in those barrels 😲 Regards Ray Edited By Ray Wood 2 on 25/06/2020 07:29:36 |

![]() 250 forum posts 88 photos | As my wife is 70 today I have a very valid argument for using her name Ray, she's always huffing and puffing and letting off steam Jolly Roger would elicit too many comments that I would prefer not to hear, most of them from my wife.

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.
