I'm bored
« on: August 12, 2012, 02:22:02 pm »
I have just had a opp on my RH knee and the doc told me to take it easy and have 2 weeks off work. Well I got bored after a few days. I have a Slipway Tamar on order but in the mean time i was looking at this playmobil ship and yes i have fitted it out with a motor and RC . I will take it down the lake next Thursday for its sea trails. As I said im bored.

Well today's the day it made it out onto the water. The 1st run went ok but the second run the wind blow it over and down it went!!!! <*< <*< <*< <*<
Still with some help from SMBC members we got it back from the bottom of the lake and it is now drying out ready for another day. :-))

Still just goes to show what can be done. Going to more stuff to put in it to make it float next time.

Was that a Corvette kept getting in it's way? Perhaps a Playmobil broadside across it's bows to warn it off! :-)) :-)) :-))
