Title: Model Slipway Maggie M
Post by: Taranis on August 06, 2019, 02:17:13 pm

I'll build this eventually but for now, what's in the box!


I visited today and a wonderful lady treated me and the wife to a tour. What a marvellously organised affair she commands  O0


So here without unpacking every fitting is what you get. The fittings are superb quality I must say and I've never been especially impressed with white metal until now.

Quite a hefty manual

The fittings well packaged

A heavy pack of several styrene sheets

Plans and long thin stuff  {-)

Lovely hull

Having seen all the lovely built examples I'm sorely tempted to buy something else too

I've just "won" an eBay auction for an unbuilt Maggie M kit.  Should be here by the middle of next week.


I hope you get around to starting it soon, and document the build on here. I think I'll be needing some help/inspiration with the build.

Could be a long wait for me but there are many useful photos here https://www.modelboats.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=72037

Hi Andy,
have lots of fun building the Maggie M. I just reserved one from "modelslipway's" new October batch.

Yes I had to order too Wilhelm but not in a rush as I don't have time to build her until next year. Very much looking forwards to it and still thinking of ordering Our Lass II too as well also ditto  {-)


P.S. thank you Martin for the HTML tags  :-))

This is the motor from Engel in Germany and the ESC from HobbyKing that I will be using

I've now sold this kit unstarted today so unfortunately the thread won't ever get any further.
A consequence of buying too many models and having too many unfinished. I hope the new owner enjoys her.
