My model of Soclaine (MGS) Built in 1985. Trawler kit originally called le Zenith 1/24 Scale. My name change is in memory of our beautifull daughter who went to heaven just over four years ago. Anyhow model is beautifull on the water powered by Como MFA 919 Series Electric Motor.

Lady Wooes, by Mobile Marine of Lincoln. SemI kit. I bought the hull all the timber and drawings along with dozens of white metal fittings ages ago, started it and left it for 5 years, moved to North wales and finished it. Drive is 2 Ford Cortina fan heater motors driving a pair of 55mm Prop Shop props by tank steering, reciprocating steam engine sound board, smoke unit and full working lights all from 2 X 12 v 7 Amp batteries........a good and interesting but very frustrating build to get things right.
Sailed at Erias Park, Colwyn Bay Model Boat Club and sometimes at West Shore LLandudno.

Just aquired a Matchbox Corvette, will be sorting it out over next few weeks there is a lot missing but have lots of photos from another club members model to work from. Will see how it goes.

HI This is a Celia, I think, it was a caldercraft kit but am not sure. it is running on a 545 motor at either 6volt or 7.2volt with a 35mm 3blade brass prop. its performance is about right for the scale and type of boat. it sails at the Lake used by the Cwmbran Club. I bought it last year at the Shepton Mallet Show.

These pictures are of three of the NEWCASTLE rtr tugs that we have in our club, they have all had minor modifications and a re paint but all have the original motors but run on 12 volts.
