Title: What have you got waiting to be built?
Post by: Shipmate60 on August 10, 2009, 04:41:34 pm
I was looking through my loft and just wondered if anyone else had waiting to be built.
I will start with:

1/96 Victorious to be rebuilt
Model Slipway Fleet Tender and Range Safety Boat
Deans 1/24 Dog Boat
Fleetscale 1/24 Denny Steam Gunboat
1/48 Denny Steam Gunboat.
George Turner 1/24 PT Boat.
Sirmar 100 foot Fleet Tender (Bee)
Italiari 1/35 PT Boat
1/72 Revel Gato sub.
Deans Marine Amazon and Amethist.
plus a few more to refurbish.

3.5cc multi, needs engine and tank,
15cc multi, needs shaft and pipe,
Arrowshark Tsunami gas catamaran, needs just about everything,
Crusader, needs engine and radio,
HMS Sylvia, Sirmar's hull,
Unidentified Cabin Cruiser, needs paint sorting out.

That's about it I think :-))

- Caldercraft "Joffre"
- "Englishman"
-Billings "St.Roche"
-Artesania "Sansom"
-Billings "St Canute"
-scratch built 1925 tanker - I've got that on underway.


That'll do, I'm already out of shelf space.

Like DickyD, I've got too many boats and not enough shelves....but I'll probably build the tug boat "Craig" after I've finished my Armidale class patrol boat. So it will be a while before "Craig" gets started.

No Kits just MM plans and a thing from a book

First finish Louis Heloise

In possible order of build
Chinese Junk - from an article, no real plans
Valerie Anne - spritsail barge
Reaper - Scottish Fife
Britannia - royal sailing yacht
Altair schooner


And if I work out how to do it, convert the Shui Ar Arab Dhow to sail control allowing for changing tack on a lateen rig. I have a 6 channel radio on order, so may be able to do it. ;D %% {-)
That lot will probably keep me going for 10 years  %)

There is a couple, but most are 'I've got one for sale' which was a long time ago. They're probably gone by now {:-{

Thanks anyway :-))

If anyone out there has one for sale, I'll be willing to pay very good money for one at the end of the year O0

Just a note, I have one possible source but I'd be very greatful for any more info

Caldercraft HMS Sir Kay - this will be my next project (and first with "proper" R/C!) after the USCG cutter is complete.
Billings "Calypso" - part-built kit, a chance bargain purchase on eBay (cost about £65 including postage), possibly my next project after Sir Kay.
Billings "Bohuslan" - old kit of a Swedish lake steamer, this is definitely a project for some time in future when my skills have improved, as the motor, rudder + hardware installation looks diabolically difficult.
1/64 V&W-class destroyer - scratchbuilt hull + deck with motor installed, a lucky car-boot find. This is a huge model and another "future project" as I really want to do it justice.
RTR "Atlantic Yacht" motorboat stripped down and rebuilt into an approx. 1/16 Fairey Swordsman - hull and deck work is complete, just the superstructure and details to do.

Also an assortment of "bargain" hulls picked up over the years, including a Deans HMS Grenville and a 1/144 Daring-class of unknown origin, the latter will probably end up as a static model as it's a bit on the small side for easy R/C installation.

Speedline 1:16 Severn Class Lifeboat -- 80 % Complete

Missouri is on the back burner

Speedline 1:12 Tamar
Victory Models HMS Vanguard

On a personal level, I'd hate to have a queue of "stuff". I find concentrating on one at a time is the only answer. TMBC have a few members who are always building more than one model at a time.....and none of them ever seems to get finished, When (when!) I finish the ferry, then I will have a look at some of the others to see which one needs a refit, and deal with that one only. Multiple choice only serves to confuse!. Cheers. BY.

An Imara kit still in its box which I'll start as soon as the weather gets too bad for sailing.
As some of you may recall it's going to be in the Perseverance version and I'm sending out the same old message again, "Any info on the Perseverance will be gratefully received"

Re Perseverance Tug. I have an Ian Allan RN book which states that the vessel is single screw.
 Now I know why there are so many boats unbuilt, every owner is reading the posts on Mayhem                    Nemesis

I started this boat hobby just 2 months ago, and being a plastic model kit modeller since my younger days, I am starting this hobby with plastic kit too.
I am building the Airfix 1/72 Severn lifeboat now and have ordered the Revell 1/200 ETV Waker. Eagerly waiting for the Waker to arrive from UK to start the conversion to rc.

I had the very last kit. Was told by MSW earlier this year that they can still supply hull, plans and most of the fittings required for it. Would just need to build the superstructure. Not too difficult really? I may end up parting with mine at some point, been sitting in the loft for around 12 months, I just had a quick look then resealed it! Want to start it but keep getting sidetracked! Dave.  :-))
