Hi Martin
It's the first time I've tried to post pictures and only managed to get one on but I think I've sorted it noe

It's a sarikhobbies 1/20 hull and plans with the cabins being scratch built from various thicknesses of plasticard and brass tube/wire.
It's taken about a year on and off to get it where it is now.
Here are a few more pictures. The first couple are the basic hull and cabins and the rest have the details like vents etc added and everything undercoated ready for paint.







I will post more pictures when I get a little further on.

Hi Neil
I will. I was going to put some pictures on earlier in the build but have only today worked out how to put pictures on plus it's been a slow build due to work and family commitments.
I am basing it on the Whitby lifeboat I have had the decal made by David Leftley .

Thank you both for your kind words. I will post some more photo's when I get a bit further. I am hoping to get the hull and superstructures painted this week then start painting and fitting the exhausts and hydraulic rams.
I will also post some photos of my Waveney Class boat I recently finished if anyone is interested.

Spent the last couple of days painting the hull and cabins. It's now beginning to look like a lifeboat  :}
I'm not too sure about the deck colour, I don't know if it's too light, although it should darken when it's matt varnished.


The rectangular holes in the wheelhouse are for the Led's for the deck lights. I plan on having the navigation lights, deck lights, blue flashing light and radar all working.
I will post more photo's when I get some more done

Started making and painting some of the many fixtures and fittings for the Tyne. Firstly the self righting airbags and frame and secondly the rams and cages for the trim tabs and the exhausts. Will post more as I complete various bits and pieces.

Beyno,



for your information, you can of course do what you like, When at Whitby City of Sheffield will never have had the self righting bags ;) :)


Please do not take this as a criticism as the model is fantastic!
Please keep up the build posts, can't wait to see her finished as it's not too often you see a Tyne!

Hi
Thanks for your comments.
I didnt know that luckily when I ordered the decals for it I had a set of Whitby and also a set of Poole station name decals made.
The only reason I picked City of Sheffield to base mine on is I live in Chesterfield so Sheffield isn't too far and I can see the actual lifeboat also I have a Waveney lifeboat which is also based on the ex-Whitby one. And eventually I would like to build a model of their current lifeboat.
I will of course post more pictures when I get a bit further on.

The model got shoved into the loft as I am too busy with the full-size boat at the moment. :(


I have done some tweaks with the plug hull from mike p, I have also drawn up for 3D printing a full set of windows for them.


Best not take over another thread though.

Hi Scott,
Have you actually got any other models in your attic,or elswhere,that you have built yourself? I only ask because with my memory,I cannot remember you posting any photos for others to comment on?
Of course ,I can't comment because I am a cheque book modeller like a few others on here,which means I buy my models.But I do at least have a go at rebuilding them,and refurbishing them,but I feel even https://www.facebook.com/groups/679521972070238/permalink/1954186111270478/ my little experience it is not for me to criticise or rivet count on other peoples builds other than to praise them up for the excellent job they are doing on them

As I have said many times, I never criticise as everyone building is doing much better than I can as I just do not have the time, money and patience at the moment. Full time work, life and sorting out the full sized boat are too much.


Where I know little details of the real boat I had onkybeveo mentioned it to help the person building the nodel. They can do what they like, either way I still enjoy following the build.


Perhaps, I get the hint. I will stop trying to help folks with my experience with the full-size boats.

I think, Scott, its called modellers licence but it does now and then stick in peoples crawe when someone who has yet to build a model on here is telling someone, that is doing a fantastic job that anyone would be ecstatic at, is told that something doesn't belong on a boat due to this or that.


I would be a little pee'd off myself to be honest...…..and it would be like me telling you what to do with your restoration of 50-001, when I haven't got the faintest idea of how to go about restoring a steel lifeboat, or what to put in or on it.


live and let model....….
or as my old grand dad used to say to anyone...……"if tha cans't doo better lad, then go away and show me."


sometimes some things, whether O0 :-)) meant to help or not......come out as being just a tad out of place and big headed.

A few more pictures of my ex-Whitby Tyne Class Lifeboat.
Spent the last week or so detailing the survivors cabin.









Just a couple more bits to do to finish it off ( hinges for rope locker, glazing for port holes and the one I'm least looking forward to making the liferaft ).
More pictures when I get a bit more done.
