Hello Len

You have missed the chance of a lifetime!

Had you come down to see us at the Haydock show like you should have done and asked that same question to Paul, his reply would have made your toes curl up with awe and unbelievable pleasure!

Paul is an expert on the subject and possesses information on the subject, some of which is officially top secret!

I recommend you search back about two years for the full story

You could PM him, but he may be a little evasive on the subject?

My lips are also sealed

Bob,

I was at the show, with mi boat. Talked with Dave Forrest for an hour or so. If I'd known you were there, you would have been my first port of call! How do I contact Paul?

Len

[Bob Abell 2Participant @bobabell2]

Hello Len

I think it may be prudent, if you wait for Paul's reaction first?

He'll be on tomorrow, about lunchtime, as he needs plenty of rest some days

Bob

[Len Morris 2Participant @lenmorris2]

Bob,

Noted.

Hello Len

I have found the long lost thread……

This should keep you quiet for a few hours?

It is continues later on…..or it did

Hi Mike and BobA,

A really big thanks for your efforts and help. Tried your link Mike and the sample of the plan looked excellent. Just couldn't get to a home page or a check out where I could buy a copy. Even went in cold direct from Google to the web site but couldn't get any sense out of it. Not to worry, see later!

Your link Bob was excellent and yes it did. It will keep me occupied for many more hours yet to come! Did an M1 ever come out of it?

Anyway, I just typed M1 into Google images and this came up!

Job sorted! Got all mi datums' and hull lines. What I do is copy the drawing onto a piece of A4 acetate. Stick it on mi over head projector and you can then trace it at any size you want, A0 whatever. The only trick is to keep everything dead square so there is no distortion. It's mi £20 version of Solid Works!

Planning for the future now need to acquire all the pictures I can of M1 and all the specific M1 books. Also a lot of gallon oil cans and a shed load of solder!

Just as an aside, paint ball guns are not cheap! Need to make an inexpensive naval version. I'm sure the trick will be the release valve for the CO2. Yesterday played with some olive oil capsules a bit of copper pipe and the air line. The capsules have a nice 8mm calibre. Changed the oil for food colouring with a hypodermic and shot them down the tube. Outstanding, non damaging results!

As you can see mi mind is racing on this job but it's 12 months down the line and I must not lose sight of Resurgam.

Thanks for your help.

Len

HI Mike,

Just to tell everybody, had another go at your link but it's only to the sample drawing. Could not get anywhere else. Then in roaming this site just clicked on 'Supplies' at the top of the home page and low and behold up come John Lambert's site with all the connectivity you need! Have ordered a copy. It will all be grist to the mill! Thanks for your effort Mike.

Hi Everybody,

Just to let you know I've just received John Lambert's plans for M1. They are excellent and all that's required for a scratch build.
