    HI there, I obtained it in a garage clearance. I am going to get it up and running and considering the level of detail with controls etc I believe it will be stable. (I hope!!!) 😑

    HI Rooky

    This is a bit late, just found your question. You model looks like an RAF whale back rescue target launch, from the 50's era

    Great looking boat, I had one of these several years ago, Northlight by Caldercraft, first kit boat I ever built, regret selling it!

    Thanks. Must admit that it is my favourite. Sails like a brick but not into sporty boats, reactions far too slow

Traineira Brazil Boat
💀 Hello friends, I am sharing a kit that sells here in Brazil. This is a fishing boat, a motor included in the kit 380 brushed, propeller shaft, pipes, all made of balsa. To put my touch to the lighting, did the radio antenna, put some flags. Detail is left with the box of fish that are rice painted with spray paint aluminum.

Just finish this Dumas kit. About 20% is scratch built. I found the plans weak and the instruction booklet useless.

    Well instructions may of been useless> 😟 but you've made a brilliant job of it. I think instructions are designed so you end up sinking whatever it is you've brought, a strange hope by the manufacturer that U'll go back & buy something else God alone knows their mentality 💭 coz I don't. She looks really Impressive, well done 😎

This is a model of the last ship to bring coal across the Bristol channel, from Barry to Bridgwater. Built to 24th scale, hll made of polyurethane foam covered with plates made from cider cans. I intended as a prototype for 12th sale model with a steam plant for power. but thats still on the to do list.

    This is a very quick way to make a hull. First remove the silver paper from one side of the foam & reduce thickness to the distance between the stations. Starting at the widest mark the station include the centre line. mark on the on the silver side, cut out square. Continue fore & aft. Stick them all together aligning the centre marks top& bottom, hold in place with cocktail sticks until the PVA is set. Carve the square edges down to the silver at the smaller station. Mark the lines of the plates, cut the plates 8-10 scale ft. 3ft wide max. Simulate rivets before glueing with polyurethane wood glue. The edges of the outer line of plates over lapping the inner use super glue (thick verity) Hope this is clear. hic! hic!!
