Bluebird has just given me a ticking off as I haven't put anything on here for a few days.

Well I have completed the stanchions and railings and a few of the small fittings and am now trying to make head or tail of Robbes instructions for making the guns.
They give a plan view, a side view [one side only] and a photo that was taken in the dark with no flash ???

Yet again Richard another very fine model by yourself.

You should be taking on commission builds next that would keep you busy for ages

Today I fitted the guns. Just hope they are right because the instructions etc lost something in the translation.
It took 2 days to make them as about the only parts I didn't have to make from the drawings were the gun barrels, the bases and the ammo boxes.

Been offered one already Jay but turned it down as the glue and paint fumes have been affecting me quite badly lately so I'm going to have a break for a while.
Still got my 1970s cabin cruiser refurbishment to finish yet.

DickyD · « **Reply #30 on:** August 03, 2007, 05:42:16 pm »

More or less finished now. Had it in the paddling pool today and she floats to the water line and is nice and level.
Just got to sort out a blowing fuse problem and make some crew and we can go on the maiden voyage.

J.beazley · « **Reply #31 on:** August 03, 2007, 06:21:01 pm »

Setley pond on Sunday then Richard

might venture out and join you if you are.

Jay

DickyD · « **Reply #32 on:** August 03, 2007, 06:24:51 pm »

All going well I shall be there Jay.
Young Hannah of Ark Royal fame said she will be there with her grandparents weather permitting.

Has anyone got any more live anti-ship mines?
I used my last one last weekend,..... funnily enough during DickyD's maiden voyage?!?

BTW, I'm collecting PT15 superstructures.... I've already got one this week!

Martin, I know where you might be able to find a PT15 hull to go with it....

R2-D2 · « **Reply #42 on:** August 10, 2007, 12:37:19 pm »

He builds them faster than Japan did in WW2.. Should this now be called Another Robbe PT 15 Build two and a half.

DickyD · « **Reply #43 on:** August 29, 2007, 01:42:55 pm »

Having lost the original superstructure [thanks nipper] I have now completed the boat again.
This time the superstructure is filled with bubblewrap and is fixed with magnetic catches. Actually it is a bit difficult to take it of now when needed.
I shall be trying it out at Setley on Sunday and will hope to get some photos this time before anything else happens,

J.beazley · « **Reply #44 on:** August 29, 2007, 04:56:08 pm »

Well done

all went together okay in the end then.
Make sure you get some pics of her wake jumping on sunday

Should run a comp to see what you will build next

Jay

DickyD · « **Reply #45 on:** August 29, 2007, 05:28:58 pm »

Hi Jay
Thinking about using the hull that I have to build a pre Vietnam US gunboat but am having trouble getting photos,
Have got both sides and the front but need rear and above.
The ones I need are for PGM 66 or PGM 67.

DickyD · « **Reply #46 on:** September 03, 2007, 03:16:14 pm »

Here we go PT boat with superstructure on the lake. Maiden voyage.
Photos taken with motor at 50% throttle.

DickyD · « **Reply #47 on:** September 03, 2007, 03:20:45 pm »

And a few more.

rp6705 · « **Reply #48 on:** September 03, 2007, 03:30:34 pm »

Good looking boat you have there.... I am 50% through building mine, where did you get the scale figures from?

Many thanks

Russ

DickyD · « **Reply #49 on:** September 03, 2007, 03:40:19 pm »

Hi Russ nobody seems to do 1:40 figures so I went to Toys R Us and bought a bag of plastic soldiers [ 50 for 99p ] and chopped here and there and then painted them. I did the same when I built my Scheutze. http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2809.80
