The Hood is the Graupner RTR Richard and very impressive it is. Belongs to our Chairman who appears to have a navy larger than the RN.

What are you on about Danny ?

Pacific Buccaneer owned by Ray Hellicar; dont know if he wants to sell it.

Not sure on the scale, about the same as the aziz I would think.

Not keeping to bad Jay, nothing happening on Kens build this week as he's having a week off.

Post by: Tug-Kenny RIP on October 04, 2009, 01:20:34 pm: What a week off I had. Weather was outstanding

I called in on the Setley meeting and here a few shots of Dicky D and his boats. What a superb lake. Very calm and flat, with easy launching at the water's edge.

The Solent Model Boat Club club gave me a lovely welcome and I enjoyed my visit tremendously. Dicky even let me drive his boat. No --- I didn't sink it. %)

I bought a few things from their shop and had a chat with them. Great bunch of guys.
Title: Re: Sunday morning at Setley Pond
Post by: DickyD on October 04, 2009, 01:30:42 pm: Glad you enjoyed your week down here Ken. It was great to meet you face to face.

The boat that wouldn't go I put on the bench, connected the battery and xstals switched on, yes it ran fine. >>:-( >>:-(
Title: Re: Sunday morning at Setley Pond
Post by: Tug-Kenny RIP on October 04, 2009, 01:51:26 pm: Perhaps the hot weather got to it. %) Wiring glich maybe.

Thanks for the welcome. I had a lovely time. Now you know where we went afterwards. :}

I've bought the toy Severn and the original 'Severn' drawings from the RNLI ( £18) and not forgetting some little lifeboat men. My next project eh !! can't wait.

Post by: DickyD on October 18, 2009, 08:35:12 pm: Yet again another beautiful Sunday morning. A lot of the photos did not come out to well because of the glare of the sun off the water.

We could also do with a lot of rain as the pond level is very low at the moment.

Post by: DickyD on May 23, 2010, 03:42:57 pm: 25 degrees C and sunny, light breeze what more do you need at the lake apart from boats.

Quit a lot of boats on the lake today plus the usual visitors and the obligatory salvage of the torpedo boat that collided flat out with a bouy and flipped. It was recovered intact which is unusual on our lake as no one has found the bottom of it yet.

Lovely pictures as always, a really nice selection you get at Setley, here at Eastbourne you're lucky if you see anything other than a large selection of Torpedo boats. Although I will post some pics up later of what was a beautiful day today, they will be nothing compared to what you've shown us here! Marine Modelling at its best.

Title: Re: Sunday morning at Setley Pond
Post by: vintagent on May 23, 2010, 09:36:58 pm: I'm inclined to agree. That is a remarkable selection. At our local pond when I've rarely been it's been a boring succession of Billings ocean tugs and cargo ships with the odd battleship of three feet bobbing around like a cork and being driven like a demented duck!

I would happily spend a morning at Setley with a flask and a box of sarnies just enjoying the action and variety.
Thanks for the pictures.
