Great video, but I wanted to see if the crane worked. ;)

Seaforth Clansman (now owned by our very own Riggers)
All from a 6 channel, when originally built
Aft deck crane
Crane slewed about 280 degrees
jib up and down
hook up and down
diving bell - raises and lowers - but the diving bell is now sitting somewhere on bottom of South Shields Marine Park Lake
fire monitors
Bow thruster works independently
stern thruster works in conjunction with rudders
Working lights
over to Riggers for the picture, but I remember, it used to be a bit of a handful on the lake with the crane so I believe Riggers disconnected the crane
May build another one O0
(if I get the time that is ::) )

Mine, it will float ::)I hope, but let me tell something about the ship modelling in Mexico, it is hard, here in Veracruz w do not have any hobby shop with any item for ships, there are not any ships, maybe one RTR, imagine building from schrath, changing the props from one model to the last, being not able to buy motor, u joint's, any kind of electronic accessory, just build and hopping if somebody going to USA some very fine day and ask to bring some. yes I know about the internet possibilities, but send your money and wait and wait and your loving pair of pro's is lost at the customs, it is not easy, it is hard, but remember that one bad day at the pond is better that a day work,
I have Finnish the Italeri PT boat, I won the first prize on ships, here in the last modeling show from IPMS, it have the motor's of and cheap r/c airplane, the props that I made my self and I fill good about that. O0
Best wishes
