The Marx/Lindberg kits are plastic. The Dumas kits are wood.
Mine is from a Lindberg 814 kit. My guess is that Rudy's has also got Lindberg lineage.

WEE NIP
Just trying a "High Aspect" sail on the "Wee Nip" - also looking at colour options and mast fitments to enable a quick change at the lake. Nothing elaborate - just fun and functional !.
Dont Forget - you can find more WEE NIP under SEARCH .

Nordkap 476 followed me home from my Florida vacation ....
I had seen it listed on another website. I made arrangements to look at it while in Florida on vacation. Before I left, I found myself forking over cash. 😄😲
It is a Billings Nordkap 476.
I have pictures from his build log, I am also posting some of them.

AIRBOAT EXCURSION
Perfect tide and conditions for taking the airboat for a thrash, and making some noise. Graffiti all over the piers was some morons' nights work on the 27th !

Filmed mainly from my camera boat, this video illustrates a new model boat constructed by B.M.B.C member Dean Ratcliffe - see full information below for Build & Background info from Dean

- roycvFleet AdmiralHello may I put in my 2 pennorth? There should be a nice foamy bow wave to show she means business. You can get this by putting spaced verticle strip fenders at the bow that go into the water and disturb the waterflow to give a 'moustache'. So no increase in speed needed. Hope you do not mind this suggestion.
I have a Plaudit a very similar type of tug. The Port of London Authority had 2 tugs like this, (now sold on) the other called Plashet. Note the PLA in the names. Always a pleasure to run the model.

AMPHITRUCK, FUN IN THE ESTUARY
Almost perfect conditions for a better video today. Bit late in the afternoon, but I can't control the tides. Bit soggy in places, but the truck managed most of it. Enjoying seeing what the truck will handle.

VINTAGE RUNABOUT SPEED TEST
Haven't tried hard turns and full throttle yet (usually 1/2 is plenty) so though I'd take the boat out and chuck it round a bit. Didn't fall over, so passed the test. More than enough go for 'sensible' use,- could even afford to de-power it a bit. Not too bad for brushed motors.

AMPHITRUCK
Having another play at the creek. Condition of the areas' surface is dependent on weather. One day it can be really smooth, next big sand corrugations and creek edges due to wave action. Hard to get the perfect day. As can be seen, the creek is a bit rocky as well. Fun all the same.

- RonaldFleet AdmiralOrca’s eh? They are in the waters off B.C. but not the waters of Ontario as we are freshwater. A quick search of Nobbly are these a type of shark?
Those are scary videos of the Orca pods swarming those vessels and the wakeboard we. Especially when you know these things eat seals and attack infant blue whales.Liked by jbkiwi - jbkiwiFleet AdmiralNobby Clarks, Noah's Arks, -rhyming slang for sharks down here Ron. We have a population of around 250 Orca in NZ waters, but they apparently have different habits to Orca elsewhere. eg,- the don't seem to be interested in seals or sea lions, mainly stingrays, skates etc. The pics in the last post were of part of a pod of orca, just off a beach north of Auckland near where I live, the mother was teaching the calf to catch stingrays right in almost to the small beach there.
No-one's ever been attacked by them here, and they seem more curious than dangerous, and often come up to surfers, kayakers and boats for a look. They quite often come up the harbour in Auckland as well. There will be no sharks to worry about with them in the area, - probably safer swimming with them around.
