building my new model boat

Herr-Berbunch · 01-06-12, 09:52 AM

That water was way too bright and blue -

So I had a quick play with 'shop -

Although the surface vessel is stupid to drop in such shallow water, and with little speed. Reminds me of Dover, December 1939, stupid people.

Sorry for not posting for a lot time now, I 've been busy.

A quick update: My motor now is a Graupner 700 BB Turbo, the lead baterries are gone and I have installed 50 (yes 50) lithium-ion.

Plus my shipyard is now relocated and renovated

Pics coming!

Nice boat

Looks like a great and time consuming hobby, i never got further than building Matchbox planes from wo2 when i was a kid. Maybe when i retire in the far future i will try to build something like this, where do you find the time?

Yes, when i was young i glued lots of Matchbox model sets together, mostly Wo2 aircraft. Then painted them as best i could.

But for the last 20 years i haven't build anything.
