This is my 1/24th scale S80 Schnellboot,it has a Metcalfe GRP hull,the superstructure is a mix of 3mm/4mm ply and 2mm plasticard,it has 3 x Graupner 600FG motors that have a 3.1 ratio gearboxes fitted,the props are 55mm witches hat type,and it has 3 x Electronize 30amp speed cont,it has a really good scale speed running on 2 motors but nearly jumps out of the water when all 3 are engaged,It was scratch built from plans,but not by me,I got it in plain grey,I did the paint job and added the crew,I sail her on a pond near to my home in Edzell,

here are few pictures of sea queen scratch built plank on frame using Ikea blind slats ,
first
runs OK but still to sought out motor esc and prop , runs of 5mins befor cut out kicks in . ....
so back in the dock for motor change , so when weather gets better will give it another go at Portishead where there is bit more space to get some on the water shooting-pictures 👍 .cheers Larry...

HI there, I have a sea queen that I found in my mates grandads house, built in 1959 with paper work for the ganette 15cc motor, the boat was in VGC but I just had to restore it, the motor and esc I used is from gaint cod, the motor is a EMP 50/65 410kv with a 100amp ESC on 4cell lipo 5000 with a 70mm plastic prop, the speed is a bit over scale speed but the run times are up to 20 minutes.Brushless is the way forward, brushed motors are a thing of the past.

HI Chris,
This sounds very exciting. I have a Sea Queen kit which I want to start and have put off whilst I research what to put in it. Any photos or video of your Sea Queen in action?
What make of Lipo do you use? I'm just on the cusp of buying a couple and they seem to vary hugely in price. Presumably you got yours from Giant Shark?
Any info gratefully received!
Ian

This is a scratch built 1;16 fishing/motor sailor from a free plan by james pottinger, made from old teak furniture with mahogany wheelhouse, technobots sound system, 12 volt power shower motor, the original was built by james adams at gourock in 1946 and is still sailing in the western isles of scotland.

Not your typical submarine but certainly an unusual semI submersible. Scratch built by fellow club member Brian Clewes this is a most striking looking vessel. Fiberglass hull and moulded perspex window. Home built waterjet uses a large 900 (I think) brushed motor, water cooled speed controller and 14.4v LiPo. Looks really spectacular on the water and Brian is working on the ballast to enable the model to remain just submerged. Video to follow in due course.

Hi" to all model boat builders. I thought I would add my new project to this fireboat website for all to see ! I bought this from fleabay as a total wreck. She is a rare Scratch built from a plan of a Walton Thames RAF ASRL launch at 36 inch long & 8 inch wide.took me approx 6 months to do the rebuild. Brush painted with 5 assorted colours with decals working lights ect.
Walton Thames is now running on a new Johnston speed 600 electric motor. 50 amp speed controller 45mm pitched propeller.A 6 volt at4.ah which gives good running time & good scale speed. Photos are taken at Eaton park Norwich England. Enjoy. 😊
My next project will be a 1950s Aerokits/Keilcraft Sea hornet. " So watch this space "

This model was originally scratch built in 1964 by my Dad as a 15th birthday present for me,the length over all is 60.5" with a beam of 17.5" and a theoretical draught of 3.5",not sure as to the actual design but it is meant to be 1/12th scale, it was originally powered by a 12 Volt windscreen wiper motor out of an old Mercedes car, and the radio gear was a home made system as well, but both are now well beyond repair and I am fitting an MFA 800 Motor with a Fusion Aquapower ESC rated at 125amp. run by a new 2.4 Ghz radio system.
When I get to sea trials stage I will send Update and possible video footage.This boat along with the rest of my harbour, will be on view at the Abbergavenny Steam Rally this weekend June 3rd and 4th(Sunday Monday) in the model section marquee.

I've enjoyed the various pictures of your Sea Queen Larry and it's always been one of my favourites- ever since I was about thirteen when one was completely out of my reach. I'm hoping to start one ( a Jotika kit) as soon as my present restoration- a Wavemaster- is complete.
By the way I loved the Bobby- I've built two of those in my time, both gone west I'm afraid.
How's Lulonga coming along?
