Loved the pond at Gorleston, did thousands of laps running around chasing my pond yacht , 1st 2 weeks in June, 1961/65. Fantastic holidays, hated the 6 hours to get there though, from Bolsover, Derbyshire.

Ian Potts built his model from the David Metcalf kit and sailed the model at Boundary Park on our Wednesday 30th August meeting. Unfortunately there was a problem with one of the props and rudder (all now fixed) so the sail was short. Sails realistically and is really well built and detailed.

Here's my scratch built model of a Gundalow. in their final iteration they were lateen rigged cargo hauling workhorses of the New Hampshire and Maine estuaries from the mid 1600's thru very early 1900. Flat bottomed with a very shallow draft that allowed sailing (or following the tides/currents) to ports upriver with needed supplies and returning with cargo of all types. My model is 50" in length. It is used as a display model for The Gundalow Company in Portsmouth, NH. I also use it with historical presentations I give to schools, historical societies and libraries. The model is fully functional. While not radio controlled it has the ability to float.

Hi Rod. You are correct. Because of the size and location of the rudder it needs to be protected from stressing beyond it limit. That’s a great question. In all my presentations no one else has ever asked. Good eye!

Built by Buxton Model Boat Club member Adrian , he says :- "essentially the paddle boat is scratch built but uses some fittings and materials from a Disar "Vanguard" kit ".
Adrian used drawings of "Flying Scotsman" for inspiration, but is not a faithful reproduction, although "Old Trafford" is also quite similar .
This was the maiden voyage so plenty more work to be done on detail and ballast etc.as the boat still sits a bit low in the water.

This is my very first wood model. I started to build her long time ago but when I got to the rigging part, I came to a screeching halt do to the lack of rigging knowledge.
After several years of being built without rigging, our cleaning lady knocked it off the base to the floor. It was a total disaster, 3 years after that, I decided to refurbished it and do the rigging with the help of this book.

My wife and I went to the Confederation Modellers Annual Event yesterday. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
Maybe Garth, Rick, or others will provide comments as to details and such as we were only visitors though I did show my latest built, the St.Pierre Dory.

This is nuts but I’m already designing what my scratch built rescue boat will look like.
I’m hand drawing all of the lines on tracing paper in case that I need to change something but in the next few days I will clean it and finish it so you guys could see it.
After complete I will build a separate contraction somehow looking like this one that could be assembled whenever is needed and taken off to carry away.
If you guys don’t mind, I would like to your version of your rescue boats.

A friend in the model boat club made a simple smoke generator so I decided I'd try .Use a small humidifier & powered U.S.D plug with 4 NMH batteries & installed it in a model I built a while ago. Some of my old style Graupner smoke generators don't work any more .

!Great idea, I love it!🤔
Is it something that remotely you can control or is it on at all the times?
How long does it take to start smoking after you power it ?

Good question I could put a switch in one leg of battery to turn the simulated smoke on & keep the switch on the unit one & the fake smoke will come on right away I think haven't tried out yet but its easy to turn on after putting main battery in & putting plain water in the humidifier tank .New plan took it to Spencer's pool & wire broke off U.S.B. plug .Rewired used battery port on Flysky Receiver which is about 6 volts to power up the humidifier & it worked .

Here we go again guys.
This is another model that Model Expo commissioned me to build because is a new model that they are selling and they need one for their model display showcase.
The name of this kit is “Artur”.
Artur is the most popular fishing vessel among Brazilian fishermen. Many are still active in Brazilian waters today.
Researching this vessel I found out that many other nations like Russia, Norway, and Switzerland also used it. This type of vessel was also used in WWII to fight against Hitler by carrying ammo for the French.
This kit has gone through many upgrades by Nauticurso (Brazilian model maker). The kit I built is their first version, so after researching I decided to replace or created many parts of my own.
It comes with the running hardware needed for full radio control operation. Instructions Model Shipways Inc. carefully translates manual into English containing many photos showing step-by-step assembly.
All pieces are laser cut Amazonian wood.
Length 25”
Scale 1:32
Guaranteed to bring lots of fun and challenging moments for newbies and experts.
Maybe you guys know more about this ship than me. If you have any information about this vessel, please share it, I will be very glad to hear it.
This is an old photo of the real ship; notice how it carries the lifeboats in the Pilots cabin deck.
I hope you guys like this model. It took me 6 months to finish it.

I know a few guys have notice the weird name Artur without an “H”.
I did notice that when I built the model, but that is the name that Nauticurso want it to use, I guess in case someone wants to complaint because this same model has being distributed by other manufacturers.
Here is their official website with a picture of their model.
I agree with the rest of the guys in this forum but like I said, they want to name this ship without the “H”. 🙄

Hi all, I noticed in a previous post on Artur the length mentioned as 22 inches. Both kits say 630mm which is 24.75 inches.
Like the model though and a very nice build as well.
