BobB - Yes my son that's what I'm here for
MCR, I used to belong to the South Shields MBC, but I was the only barge in town so to speak, so I always raced yachts and old 'Will' hardly saw the water. It's the same now I'm "darn sarf" my club focuses on yacht racing so the barge is still on a promise !!
My model is the result of gridding and scaling up a 1:48 plan for a static one to 1:24 plank on frame, then during building MB mag. did an article on, I assume, the Tony Williams model along with the white metal fitting kits for the winches.
Originally I made up a rig with threaded rod, saddle and micro switches under the aft cuddy that powered an electric motor to turn the rod, which turned the (unbalanced) rudder and also the ships wheel. Looked realistic but was so slow the handling in a good wind was frightening, with concrete round the sides and all
