Hi this is my Chiba Star i picked up of ebay it had never seen the water but was sitting for a while, i have stripped it since these pics as it deserved a better finish and in the process of adding lights and weathering.

Looks a nice model,Chris

I like the chunky steam plant, it matched the model nicely

Will you post a few more pictures as you progress please?

I have redone the hull and deck, i know it dosn't look much different but it is always hard with photos. Also done the lights with LED strips and working on nav lights with 5mm LEDs, i made a switch from an old servo all i did was take out the motor and put the power lead through the points then turned the black thingy till the power was off and glued it in place ,easy.

Our model boat club, at Etherow, holds a "Venetian Night " every September, just as it's going dark. All the models are decorated with lights and decorations……..They look lovely and is a good crowd pleaser!

Followed a Pizza Supper
