1/12 Tamar build
« on: February 20, 2010, 05:45:31 pm »
After nearing  completion of my Tyne lifeboat i got stuck into the Tamar today, bow thruster fitted (Raboesch prop type), skegs, props and rudders fitted, stern door and Y-boat housing fitted and managed to spray the hull and deck today with the aid of the hair dryer  :-))

Next job is to spray the superstructure and start fitting the brushless motors/speed controllers...

Looks smashing, Russ. You're gunning along there.

Did you have a snapshot of her when the you had Volkswagen orange on ? I've got this colour but haven't sprayed it yet.

Do you not think the orange on the Tamar is a little dark. Paint darkens slightly as it cures.

Nice job though. :-))

It does look slightly dark as i took that picture inside, looking at it outside it seems ok. I have looked at pictures of Padstow and Tenby,s and they look two different shades..

I suppose its how you take the picture and what the light levels are?

Apart from fillling in the ends the fendering is finished and exhausts fitted.

That picture of Tenbys' Tamar in boathouse is exactly as she looks. I should know, I took it.  Was nice bright sunny day, loads of natural light in those new boathouses. Tamars definately look a brighter orange than the Tynes, seen enough of them. She's looking good Russ ok2

Thanks for all the information. There are certainly subtleties in the shades.  As I've already bought my shade, I'll have to try it and see what comes out, but I shall be referring to this if I have any doubts.

Thanks

Ken

I know Whitby's' Trent Class used paint from a company called 'desoto' (think spelt right?) shade was 'international orange'. That came straight from RNLI engineering in Poole. Though using the exact same colour may not always look right of course. Dave.  {-)
