Mountfleet Osprey, with the help of the interweb, due to become a 1917 Flotilla Leader in black and grey and two guns. Purchased one of the Australian smokers ( very impressed) to put in during the build.
Then I must get on with the BK 1124 Tank Boat.

Not exactly 'building', just 'reconstructing'.
I recently acquired an elderly Pilot Boat (built 1982) in a bit of a sad state having been painted with several slabs of what looks like Dulux emulsion! Some parts are missing, the mast, windows, ventilators and mostly small deck bits. It has a GRP hull and ply deckhouse. It measures 72cm long x 28 wide. All it has inside is a motor. prop and shaft. It looks like a speedy hull.
I have started by stripping several layers of Dulux from the deckhouse and fitted a steering servo. Basically, I think with a decent paint and new small parts it will make a nice runabout.
One thing - can anyone help identify the kit? Here 'she' is ............
Bob.

Now complete. Goes like the dogs!

That's a good effort you've made Sig, and those lattice masts can try the patience of a saint.

I am currently building the USS JOHN FINN DDG113 using a 1/72 Fleetscale hull.

The test tank alone is better than most of my models!

Hiya,

Just new here and was wondering if anyone can help me out with Plans for the Caldercraft ss Coaster.

I recently bought it second hand and needs restoring..

many Thanks

ballastanksian · « **Reply #490 on:** November 29, 2015, 05:19:44 pm »

Your hull of Macedonian is sheer sculpture Jerry. I would be happy just to sit and look at the quality of the carpentry.

ballastanksian · « **Reply #491 on:** November 29, 2015, 05:22:20 pm »

I am going to convert the hull plug of HMS Rupert into a model as I think she is not quite to scale and so useless as a plug (IMHO) So Achilles wil get put back a year.

Shorty, you might get a fuller response of you post on the Working Vessels page, where people who have built this kit might lurk. Start a new topic called something like Caldercraft Coaster plans wanted. Good luck.

I have been building a freelance tug,based on the looks of the New Castle RTR model ,but this is bigger I have used a fibre glass hull from thr Holmsider ,and raise the bulwarks forward, fitted a 4" kort and 5 bladed prop, the superstructure and decks are from 1/16th and 1/8th ply, she is nearly finished and almost ready to get wet, I will post more pics later. geo

I love that funnel-mast combo. Very sculptural. I bet it was a cowbag to make?

tugmad · « **Reply #499 on:** December 01, 2015, 11:17:35 pm »

Yes it was a bit of an awkward thing to make ,but it came out well Thanks geo
