You can't help but smile when you look at your models Bernard.  They really are superb and a testament to excellent modelling and attention to detail.

What may be usefull to a lot of members here would be telling us where you get the individual detail fittings from so they can also look at adding a bit of life to thier models.  I have a Borkum, built as a pristine model with dolls house figures, which I would dearly love to make a lot more like your models.

[red_noir]

WOW !

thanks to Bernard Im looking at doll house miniature's now on eBay ! who would have guessed !

[Bernhard]

Many Thanks..Yes from Ebay...uk..and USA,,,  1/12....and 1/6,,,,,,,,,,  and Figure  are  nautical  shelf sitter   or nautical figurine...bot can be difficult to find the right size,,,,and some part i look under  .. miniatures.....OH yes a borkum cut be real fine to do something to,,,.. This is the machine i will get to it,,,,,,,
Regards Bernhard..

Bernhard, I just love discovering new details in your boat, chicken, cabbage etc.  
And the engine looks much nicer now with the new brass covers.
Great!

Did you also change the square valve chest covers...?

[Bernhard]

Thanks...yes i did them to...yes the engine look alot better with this on ,,and the Graham Engine run real good,,strong even with very low psi,,,,steam and water tight,,,,bot i will like to only use 2 servo in this one,,,

Regards Bernhard

[kno3]

Then I guess you need either a piston-valve engine with reversing valve like the Sparrow or another oscillator 

[Bernhard]

yes,,,and Nick from Monahan...is working on a Sparow right now,,

[muduck]

Bernhard, what is the hull, is it a scratch build off plans?..If so, what is it called.

Love your attention to detail..am green with envy...

[Bernhard]

Thanks i did by the boat some years ago...maybe not that easy to get hands on anymore..mostly aut of stock

 i did see one on Ebay Germany

Bernhard probably has all of these he wants- but I found them at this place --has a very similar name to the other site..but the lifeboats are $150 -- and in stock--So save $30!!!! I know Bernhard may have all that he wants in his fleet- But I may also have  to buy one and play with it..Shipping to me in the US ( from the store in the US) was $17..not bad

http://sea-gifts.com/whitstarlinl.html

The only difference in the website name is the hyphen between sea- and -gifts--sure looks like the same website


Also I think I recognize this whale boat as one of Bernhard's hulls also.Best price I could find was $200..it is 36"
 long. Bernhard- I hope this was OK to post ? I don't think anyone will ever match your creative eye and technique...But you sure make me want to be a better modeler.

[Bernhard]

Hi.....A nice engine it is,,,,, with around 40 psi,,,and 34cl,,,water,,,,,,,in run 20 minutes now,,,,,,with a OK sped,,,

Bernhard

[kno3]

Very nice engine, it's the first time I see the Monaham Sparrow in use.
How does it compare in size, power and weight to a Graham TVR1A? The Monahan website seems to be down at the moment...

[Bernhard]

Hi..around the same size and wight,,,run real fine it do,,,Bot again ,,,you get a  real good looking and working engine from graham,,fore a fair price,,,you know i have 2 of them....both runs and sounds TipTop,,,i did have 3 both sold one to a friend,,,,,,,,,,did you make  a new front covers to yours

[andywright]

Bernard,
Saw your question on ebay, ask him to take the mast out, it looks like the mast would fit inside the boat to me, the boat is nice to steam, deep kelson aft for you to fit a propellor.
Andy

[Bernhard]

Hi...Yes ,,Thanks,,,he can just cut the mast..no neat fore it, thats true... bot i reale dont neat another launch right now,?..bot a nice boat fore a ok price i think.......

Regards Bernhard

[HS93 (RIP)]

Hi Bernhard have you got any more info on the pump that you put on top of the servo in post 50, do you have any plans or close ups of it, I saw the Ragnar one that was posted but for the price it's a bit much 100 euro's plus servo. so I want to make my own

thanks
