The Deans Marine Dog boat almost ready for its first sailing. Took a year and a half to get it to this stage but does build into a nice model ....

She has a length of 1460mm and 280mm beam at a scale of 1/24.


When I get her in the water in a couple of weeks will try to take a video...

Hello Dale


Have had a look at the Battlecrafts stuff but there's not much in the way of RN figures  (though their range of deck fittings look comprehensive)
There's a chap in the States that does a whole range of highly detailed "crew" but costs are a bit excessive and require a bit of pondering before serious commitment to purchase takes over.  :o


Kind regards

Hi nice model how many motors in your build.

I have the same model which I made some years back started with four motors have since dropped back to using the two centre shafts only.

Have got four motors in her running 35mm propellers, will see how she performs next week when I sail her for the first time. Why did you change to the two active props.
