The piping work is done in the pics below.
And 25 days are left before (successful?) sailing on the lake I set as my "summer project".
But I am not in a hurry so much to complete the model with minimum details, but just a subtle part of my emotion is only expecting confidentially the trial run on the water of this RC boat...!! 
The lake may be waiting for the sailing test to be done as in the pic by the navy of Derek's country.!!!

What an amazing build! Beautiful work matey :) You worked loads if detail into her and I do like the mast.

Its always a challenge to isolate details of a specific period in a ship's life. The argument that an earlier period should be simpler to model is offset by the need to model the 'gaps' correctly and well. This is an outstanding model Geoff. The rigging and boats alone look like they took the best part of half your time and effort!

WHO would like two lovely model lifeboats for the cut down price that both are worth!and the main of two reasons is, that I just cannot lift or move the large of the two any more as it is too heavy for me.


 I feel that due to its very rare and unique qualities this boat is worth £5k but am due to the fact that I want to raise money to buy a sentimental and old classic car in my old age am willing to drop the price considerably to 3k.


And as an intensive would add to that package the Waveney class lifeboat for £400, which was built by the coxswain of the boat which he served on.


Both models have radio gear and motors inside them.


Both boats were on display at the Blackpool show last month.


The sale of these would help enormously in helping me buy one of these, my first and best car I ever had and the most fun i had especially during my university years of the early 1970s


Should anyone be interested in them but i will NOT sell the Waveney  separately, please pm me,


thank you

Might be able to make up one good motor from the two. We'll see.

No reason why you should not have two good motors. Just need to get some paxolin and spring copper...

Out of the box, the FrSky Tandem XE is, in my opinion, the best radio of it's type. It is a tray radio that runs on Ethos., the follow-on program based upon Open TX. As a computer radio, it is one of the most powerful out there currently. The current manual runs around 475 pages. It is a dual band radio supporting 2.4 ghz and 900 mhz. Besides the gimbals, it has eight additional proportional outputs with two further non proportional outputs. There are six switches available and they are easily changed in configuration, ie, two position, three position, latched, momentary ect. It is a 24 channel radio with unlimited mixing and assignment capabilities, 250 model memory. It does not have the Robbe or Ace style gimbals for throttles, but with it's mixing capabilities, mixing the two sticks is easy, as is assigning a switch to enable or disable the mix for independent throttle control.It is a more expensive radio, however, I have ACE Nautical Commanders, and Robbe F-14's loaded with expansion modules( BTY, they cost more in the end than the FrSKY) and neither brand comes close to thee FrSky's capabilities. My radio is setup to operate 30 functions on my Juneau and I have plenty capacity to add more. If the radio has a drawback, it is that it is intimidating and the learning curve is steep. That said, there are many, many videos that help one through the maze programing options. There are multiple threads on another board that explain many of the tricks and solutions for the radio and it's sisters that run ETHOS. Once one gets the hang of the programming, it becomes quite easy. Lastly, ETHOS Suite, after downloaded onto your desktop, is wonderful for updates, programing ect.

And so now, back to business.

I am going to start on the smaller part of the Clyde!, AS it will be easier to store that part once it has been finished.

But can anyone tell me what the none deliberate mistake is looking at the temporary "fitting" of the main parts of the cabin are., and then sujest to me the best way to continue.

Thank you!

FINALLY got my computer back from the repairers, working again after numerous mistakes made by myself in the past 9 days. But must say I was nearly crawling up the walls without it to waste my time on with this crap weather outside.


However it did give me time to clean up and make space  for the building of the final Clyde that I am ever going to build.


Cleared space for 3 of my own lifeboats built ans or bought and ready for sailing or sale, lol, and also for the Clyde.


Tidiest it has been in a long while
