HI Bob

Hope you had a Merry Christmas,Thank you for the post i am still trying to work out how to post photos.

Sorry about the back ground its an early shot of GE before the life boats were all put on I do have others with a better background but they are on my smart phone it will not talk to my PC no matter what I do its too smart for me!!!

I have just put in a bigger motor for the prop as the paddle wheels do not drive her along very well but look good spinning around. If and when I get the photos off the phone I will have shots of my China Tea Clipper she is almost ready for her first sail should be on the 8th of Jan all going well.

Have a great New Year

Regards Hutch

Thank you Hutch

Hope you had a nice festive season too

The weather is very mild here this Christmas……..Global Warming, no doubt

I am amazed now, how my 84" model galloped around the lake, powered by only two 540 motors?

They were geared down of course

Keep smiling

Bob

As for the my models, Battle Class destroyer was scratch built using only photos 5.5ft long R/C sold last year.

The Paddle Tug is from Model Boats plan of Eccleshall built from ABS sheeting left over from lining the laundry wall! so is the Springer pusher tug and barge,both scratch built using no plans apart from a line drawing off the net, the fishing boat is a ready to run with a new cabin built from again ABS sheet.sold. The Sub is a 1/72 scale kit being built for R/C.I have two Jenny sailing boats built from MB plans, and one Black Hawk 32 RTR model this was found on the side of road without a rudder or keel, but fully rigged!

Cheers Hutch.

Just saw this pic and reminded me that my dad told me years ago that the top of one of the masts was used as a flagpole at Anfield

***Flagpole – Anfield***
