Been asking around the pond on which type of boat/ship these would suit?








Any ideas? {:-{

WOW! What a stunning plant.

To my mind that has got to go into a working vessel, a big tug or maybe a tramp steamer or Liberty ship.

I guess it could go into a launch, with an enclosure of some sort around the boiler and the engine on show, but as has been said, whatever you build it into, it is going to be BIG

Both of these were given to the club by a non member who just likes the build side, :o, but we are at a loss to know what to do with them! :embarrassed:

I would mount it on a base and get it fully operational, then if a suitable model comes along you can fit it.
If not it still looks a superb piece of engineering.

I've always wanted to have a full size steam boat! {-)
How about a 12 or 14 ft clinker, :-)) that way you won't have to worry about any radio controll %%
