lovely, but the weed looks a bit of a risk in such a big pond !!!

Yes, Unfortunately the weeds keep increasing. Each time it submerged near the bottom it was stopped by the weeds and surfaced in the same place. I edited these out.

Hi Mactin, there was also a 'Seahawk' in the Star Trek / Wars saga!
Shame about USS Penguin, would have been a tasty boat 😉
BTW: penguins are my favourite animal. so funny, or imperious like the Emperor penguins. 👍
Didn't know about the film either, when I think about sub films Operation Petticoat comes to mind! How about doing a pink one!!!?😲
Keep up the great work, Cheers Doug 😎

PS: USS Enterprise, CVN 65, 'played' the part of USS Seahawk in the CAG TV series! 😎

thanks Dom

Just seen this, for some reason the videos wouldn't play when it was originally posted , loved the Nautilus from 20,000 Leagues under the sea ,one of my all time favourite films after Forbidden Planet.

Cheers Marky👍

Hi Boaty, Apparently so! 😊
There was some discussion about this here a little while ago
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peasholm_Park
"Events
Naval Warfare event

The Naval Warfare event, Battle of Peasholm,[9] has been played out for half an hour three times a week during the summer season for over 80 years. The model boats used are mostly man powered earning the fleet the title of "The smallest manned navy in the world". All the boats were man powered, until 1929, when electricity was introduced, and now only the larger boats need to be steered by council employees. in the early days, the models were First World War battleships and a U-boat. Then, after the Second World War, the fleet was replaced with new vessels and the battle that was recreated was the Battle of the River Plate."

Pics attached!😉
Cheers Doug 😎 (Don't get shot😡)

I have been to the park this year and the model display is still taking place and is well supported too.😎

nice video and the sinister music suits !!! lesbreame

Hi Edward, its a fine balancing act of electrolysis to hydroide gas, compression then ignition but utillising vacuum formation as an assisting force to the power stroke so effectively making it a one stroke which sounds odd.still in development ive tried turbine,oscillator pistons and hydraulic recoil as end movers but the best seems to be the straight reciprocator. its scary,how the hell can they tax water??? cheers Neil.

Hi Awesome engine, You better get it patented!

Thanks 😜

Awesome production. Great pyrotechnics.

Valid File this time

Looks good and sails well 😁

BRAVO ZULU! VERY COOL!

Nice engineering, have you looked at straight air tools for gearboxes? plenty of those around in your area perhaps.

U35... Finally done! 2 Months this one took! 3 Ballast Tanks Clockwork Timer for the compressed air system clockwork motor for the coaxial contra rotating tandem props. Maximum time on the bottom 1 hour. clockwork tinplate submarines are great fun!

hi Mark, I honestly wouldnt know how to go about doing an article but anyone has permission to use any of my site images and commentary. it amazes me just how much gear can be got from stuff people chuck away,im not a mad environmentalist or anything its just that its either dirt cheap or free! really glad you like my stuff.
thanks neil

Incredible models, I particularly like the U34. I would commission one of those just to sit in my desk it's so nice. Well done Rob, they really are superb, thanks for sharing. 👍
