The aft additions to the superstructure have now been added with plasticard 2,0mm thick.

It is now being left to set and cure overnight before any further work is done, by filling all the little miss and hit joints are sanded and filled

Just to let you all know ...... a member of staff at Component Shop who does the production of circuit boards was recently involved in an accident and this has created a delay in production. If you are requiring a particular Action Electronics product, then please phone them (01248 719353) and this will enable them to prioritise the manufacturing of the most in demand products.
Some of you may also be aware that the P110 'Noisy Thing' has not been available for a while. This is due to a major component being discontinued. A suitable replacement has been sourced but its use requires a re-layout of the printed circuit board. Whilst this is being done some updates will also be carried out ...... watch this space.

they turn in to a lovely little boat,. built two of them, one for the original producer, and one that has gone to the owner of the Clyde that I am building at the moment

I have several photos of the actual boat 72-002 RNLB GRACE PATERSON RITCHIE to look at as well as builders drawings of the boat at 1/2" to the foot, so anything I get stuck on is pretty straight forward, and today I have cut out the parts for the rear extension wingss to the main cabin, which have been cut out and cut to shape from 2mm plasticard sheet.


I have first glued on to the aft cabin the supporting 2 x 2mm strips if card to add support and strength to the cabin side extensions using builders strength cyano and will leave a couple or so hours to harden and totally cure, before adding the extensions using plastic glue


At the moment all joints and parts are left in their ruff states. once all done, I will fill all with filler before sanding off ready for painting all.

Most impressive, she planes really well. 

The Bambu is a filament printer - the STLs I produce were designed for a resin printer, which typically has a smaller build base but is capable of more detail. I would be interested in feedback from anyone who prints them using a filament machine...

Joke of the month ... so far:

I was watching a local football team last weekend.
They were paying a team from a Lemonade factory...
 They were 7-up by half time!

 
 
 

thanks!


will take a look :)

You will find a few model-boat oriented printable .STLs on the EeZebilt site included in the 'full kits' pages. For example,  http://eezebilt.tk/Seakit.html or http://eezebilt.tk/OSAkit.html . They are all free, and obviously can be sized to any required scale. I'd be happy to put contributions up if anyone wants to produce any.


I have done a Mk13 torpedo with the Mk1 roll-off launcher if anyone's interested...
