hey just read the thread not been on for a while but i believe paul firmin was retiring to france ! not sure how true of if he (thats what he told me thou at the time !) has but dealt with him last year and got my parts for my mathe last year !

Sounds like par for the course from what i have seen with a friends cat m8 .You wouldnt believe the pile of crap he got for £400 it had holes 1/4-1/2" in diam and open seams in what should have been a fully finished seamless hull.My friend did post pics on another forum of it before he finally got to send it back for a refund.I heard hes retired also and his son now runs a shop but the boat building has stopped.

ok mate np i dont have to look over my shoulder for rest of my life revenge will be thie

phillnjack · « **Reply #533 on:** February 09, 2011, 02:57:12 pm »

How do people get away with this type of thing.

I think the best thing to do is to forget about nimrif models and make the bits you need.

get the boat on the water and enjoy it.
shove a couple of very fast electrics in it and see whats the fastest you can get from it.

no good sitting their not fully built getting knocked about when its cost so much money.

or take it to every boating event you can and show people what a lovely boat he sold you. ?

you could have a nice big sign standing next to it to promote nimrif models

If you let me know what it is you need i can see what i can come up with m8,might take me a while as i am busy with the new hulls but ill see what can be done.Any pics of the scoop and air pods you need sizes etc?.Or you could try MHZ they seem to sell all kinds of scoops etc.

thanks mart have you looked at the mhz site mate if you have a look to get what i am after to compleate my hull is two side vents they are on the site in white

3inchs lon 3inchs high [ two side vents white ]
roof scoop 4 @ quator [ width ] @ 18 inchs long mate

bulldog1966 · « **Reply #536 on:** February 10, 2011, 03:21:29 am »

2inchs wide mart [ white vents ]

phillnjack · « **Reply #537 on:** February 11, 2011, 09:52:04 pm »

Ive seen these somewhere else.

does it have to be these exact things ? is it going to be built exact to scale. i.e have the right decals etc

or could the scoops and vent be a bit different ?

I cant see these being to hard to either make from something else or make by vacum moulding ?????

Bit of hardish foam or carve a bit of wood then make a vacum and make them from plastic etc.

just a thought.

hi phill as long as side vents are as high as mesurements mate i would say no mate shouldnt mater

martno1fan · « **Reply #539 on:** February 12, 2011, 11:46:02 am »

Sounds interesting Phill,you going to show us your vacum forming skills ? .I can get hold of plastic card in large sheets i might need to think about having a go some time.Ive seen a few home made boxes to do small parts this way and it seems to work quiet well just using a vacum cleaner lol.You can even make small electric hulls this way too and they come out really nice.

bulldog1966 · « **Reply #540 on:** February 12, 2011, 01:10:04 pm »

would be nice to have some one in model mayhem that could make them .instead of having to go to germany or the states could do with them to finish my model pluss would be after them for the new cat i am in proseds of starting 8foot long 3 foot wide only frame started at mo got to build the plug first [ i am ropeing in gwa 84 on this one hehehe]

martno1fan · « **Reply #541 on:** February 12, 2011, 02:35:19 pm »

3 ft wide

lol,i will have a go at some ducts as soon as i get chance but im too busy right now.Have to say i like the idea of the plastic vacum formed ones,quick and easy to do once you have the plugs.

vac forming can make some very nice bits for the boats.

drivers, scoops, vents, and some very nice lexan windscreens.
for people with scale stuff, a simple vac former could save a fortune, and be easy to experiment.

martno1 could vac formed plastics be used as mold for fibreglass ? or would that be a no no

phill

martno1fan · « **Reply #545 on:** February 13, 2011, 01:30:54 pm »

I think it would be a no no because of the heat given off during the curing process everything could get very wavey

,mind you looking at some boats they might have used that very process

.
I think for making small parts like you suggested a vac former would be a good idea,might have to build one for making small parts or get my lad to make me one
