Indeed beautiful!

A video of its manouvering capabilities would be great! I am very curious how well the simplified Voith controls (which I simply think are brilliant) work out in practical operation.

hi there, of course you can post it on your website, I also built the fire float as well from your website - but sadly I dont have pictures of that model on the water. 


The build of the fire float is on the forum somewhere.


May I make a suggestion  :}  - I think an easy build Vosper perkasa boat would be an excellent easy build - any chances of you doing one of those.


VOSPER RAF FIRE FLOAT BUILT FROM SCRAP BALSA

Thanks Steve  :-))



Thanks Footski and you are quite right  %% {-)   I've never ever fancied rigging a ship I think it's a skill in its own right.  Hence the little stubbies  :-))

I loved the rigging side more than the build. Done well it really can be superb, but takes a long time.]


I agree and I admire builders that rig ships it does definitely put the icing on the cake.  It's a skill that involves so much reading a research and there are so many types of knots.  Standing rigging; running rigging the list is endless.  Maybe it's a future thing for me but I would need a good magnifying glass to even see the knots.  It's one of those things where I wished I was more interested so maybe its something for me in the future - who knows  :-)

hi there

This is my attempt from Dodgy's site of free downloads. 

This is the Terrier M.T.B. er great fun to run round the lake.   Sadly though the video isnt that clear.

John

one from Dodgy's vintage Keil kraft site




I never saw that when it went up on Mayhem, and it really does show off the little boat well. Can I put a picture and a link to the video up on the EeZeBilt site, please?

Well.  The woodwork is of course next level. But love those cleats..!  Setting the bar very high Mark, I think I need to reassess how I go about making the cleats for the Riva.


Stunning work, you sponsored by Proxxon yet..?
David.


Hi David and many thanks  :-))   The cleats are really a labour of love and I just wanted to test myself a bit.  On the original ship they would have been wooden but hey a self imposed challenge is a challenge.  I have been criticised a little by the time it took to make parts that can readily be bought off the shelf or made of wood.  But I reckon mine are just as good if not a little better - how some builders on another forum think eh?


As for sponsorship  - wow could you imagine that - I'm never that lucky and as you know tools cost a fortune.  I've always fancied their thickness planer with the blades.  I don't know any other company that supplies a tool like this.  So Proxxon if your reading this please send me one and I'll give it a test drive  {-)


I've just about finished the catheads and snatch blocks for the anchors and I think they are probably my best carpentry I've done so far.  More updates to follow!


BTW your Riva is literally second to none  :-))
