Hi,

Sorry but I had (have) some serious problem and could not work with my Armidale.
I finished the trimm... sone pictures here about them.

Laszlo, great work. Pictures look good. Those tabs are great. Makes me think it may be possible to have working rams??

derekwarner_decoy · « **Reply #37 on:** December 28, 2011, 09:29:23 PM »

spenyo ....in image 1723 it appears that the cylinder barrel couplings are left & right hand threaded like a turn buckle

......is this the case or do my eyes deceive me

So from this will you adjust the trim tabs after the vessel is complete & fully ballasted?.......Derek

Hi Spenyo
Glad to see you back.

I have sent you an email.
Have you decided what to call your Armidale? There is a list names of 1:50 boats, built or building in the:- "Armidale Class Patrol Boat - Names Register" topic, that you might like to add to.

spenyo · « **Reply #39 on:** December 29, 2011, 02:22:33 PM »

Hi Guys,

We are working on two boats in same time. "Launcheston" will be mine and the "Armidale" will be my friend's boat.
Derek, you could see well that the trimm cylinder barrel couplings are left & right hand threaded and the plan is when finished the boat we try to trimm it for best speed. After this connect to them two-two black "tube" which look like the hidraulic tubes.

Laszlo

Thanks Laszlo
The names register has been updated.
Can you add the name of your friend?

spenyo · « **Reply #41 on:** December 30, 2011, 11:42:00 AM »

He is an old retired modeller : Lajos Fekete. He live in Budapest too.

Hi All,

I have finished the first crane. It needs some refinement, but mainly done.
Have anybody got picture(s) the whole crane unit ? I had to use the model's plan, a half picture - thanks Peter - and my fantasy to finish it.

Here are a smal bunch pictures of my club made program at the begining of october.

Hi for All,

I had a little time and can work with Launcheston. I have built in the bowtrushter and the stairs on the back side.
Here are some pictures about it.
Need some tubes for hidraulic imitation, but it looks like the real.

Laszlo

She is coming along nicely.

What material have you used for the trim tabs and rudders?
It is interesting to see models of the older Hungarian warships from your club.

Hi Lazlo

I know you requested pics of the crane a while a go but i hope this helps.

Glen

Hi Glen
That will help me as well.
Any chance of a pic from the ends?

I recall about thirty years ago, whe I was starting out modeling, I learnt to put steel wool in water for a few days, and then use the rusty water for detailing the decks etc to look 'used'.

There appears to be a fair amount of coffee stain on the decks of that boat. ;-)

Thats because the crews drink mugs and mugs of coffee

which invariably gets spilt on the decks in rough seas.

Glenedge · « **Reply #50 on:** February 14, 2012, 07:46:14 AM »

Mmm Wish it was coffee and not rust stains from the crane they never use until it needs to be fixed for survey.

Here are a couple more pics that may help you all.

Glen

I must remember not to make the deck tooooo smooth.

And have plenty of brooms near by.
Thought that was something that the Submariners did, that is fly a broom at masthead.

Seriously what is the crane used for.

Judging by the coffee stains it wouldn't want to used to it's limit unless it has a high safety factor.

nick_75au · « **Reply #53 on:** February 14, 2012, 10:43:52 AM »

We had a stainless steel crane on the Minehunter

no rust and ours got used all the time

Flying a broom is used to boast of a "Clean Sweep" ie all torpedoes fired scoring a hit. Not sure but I think it may have started as a Yank tradition.

derekwarner_decoy · « **Reply #54 on:** February 14, 2012, 10:44:32 AM »

mmmm

be rest assured RaaArtyGunner

1. The deck is high tensile aluminium plate to AS Wopply Wop & the anti-skid ablative coating is only stained...by the metallic rust from above
2. I understand that the lower steel plate structure of the electro/hydraulic hoist [which is depicted with surface corrosion] is from AS ....Grade 350 plate & with a 4:1 FOS on yield in the Naval design Standards = 1400 Mpa stress within the structure prior to failure

The structure if maintained........

will never fracture or fail..............Derek

Derek,

Now there be the question for a land lubber, if maintained, and I specifically noticed all the coffee on the cables and pulley/wheels on the crane?

But what does it lift?

derekwarner_decoy · « **Reply #56 on:** February 14, 2012, 11:34:30 AM »

...

1. the coffee stains on the cables [wires] are I suspect are a combination of Copper Kote & Denso + fish oil

2. the SWL lifting capacity is clearly shown as 850kg @ 6.5M reach ...if they would only bring the TV series back ....we could see.

........did the crane lift the Zodiacs back on board?

3. one must remember an RAN vessel on deployment

may not have sufficient time in port when refueling to attend to minor blemishes & cosmetic surface corrosion
4. naturally these issues are rectified during periods of refit ..........Derek

another double post..........

....sorry......could a moderator please delete.......

RaaArtyGunner · « **Reply #58 on:** February 14, 2012, 11:54:27 AM »

Derek,

Thanks, just thought it was a bit of overkill, if only to lift the Zodiacs, unless, even with 6.5 metre reach, the Zodiacs all up weight is sizeable.

Can't have been doing much "launching/retrieval" as in the TV series else the cables would be "polished bright" with use.

Probably because it moves they salute it

Now Ya know i ain't a sailor boy.

Hi Brian,

The trimm and the rudder made of circuit PCB (3mm thik) fiberglass - the copper film was removed.
The stairs is made also fiberglass but it is only 1mm thik.

Hi for All,

I could work my boat again - just four tube but they look good.
And here is something other ...
I designed a circuit for my scale boats - and use one of them a few month in another boat.
It is a PIC controlled circuit. There are 10 LED output - one of the PWM for flash imitation - 5 high current output - one of the PWM for motors, or any other thing - a foghorn and an alarm siren.
A power supply with BEC.
These outputs are controlled maximum 3 Rx chanel.

Laszlo

brianB6 · « **Reply #62 on:** February 17, 2012, 09:56:46 PM »

I am not surprised that there have been no replies to your last post Laszlo.
I, for one, am speechless at your abilities and the beautyful layout.

spenyo · « **Reply #63 on:** February 22, 2012, 09:38:15 PM »

Hi,

I put these pictures for those who want to build the circuit. I share the plan and the program with pleasure.
It is possible to use it for any kind of boat - cargo-, war- or any other type.
There is a jumper on the PCB which allow to programming the board for two boat type - eg. there is no alarm siren on a cargo ship, or no need all channel to a simple speed boat - and to switch between the two program is just simple put the jumper to the other side.

Hi for All,

Peter, thanks but I could make my account.
I have some new pictures. We start to make the parts of the deck and the bridge.
And another news - and pictures - that a young member of our club start to build a new "Fremantle".

Laszlo

That Bofors is a work of art. I know having built 2 of them for my 'Dorina' corvette.
