Thank you Nick, and yes I will be at Ron Dean's.
Not much progress
Quite a lot of planning on how to create the funnels, tripod masts, stern walk, and torpedo net rolls. Suggestions given appreciated, I am working on trials with new netting.
However, nothing much to show at this stage. Somewhat hot in the workshop, but a lovely day for sailing at Black Park. I am starting to get the hang of car-loading and assembling this 2.2 meter monster.
So, spent a couple of hours lazily manoeuvring Agincourt around a fairly busy sea way. Although large and heavy she does respond nimbly when boxed in by yachts and rowboats. I am well happy how she sails, although the externals can be rather vulnerable, especially the enlarged rudder. The little LiFePO4 propulsion battery was still showing all five LED’s on its “fuel gauge” after I got home.
Do not expect frequent updates. Just about every item needs to be designed and scratch built, although I now have Ron Dean's fittings list which will help with many of the 1/96 standard parts for that era.
