First time build
Decking taking shape
My first build
This was my first boat build, which was 10 years ago, it was a Model Boat Magazine plan of HMS Paladine! The hull red was a bit bright, she sailed weli!
My Two boat task force
Here is pitcure of both my boats sailing on a boating lake not far from my home, the larger of the two was commandeered by my 8 year old son for a trainning mission he had in mind, which gave me an excuse to build another one, which is the smaller boat the picture, as the young captain needed escorting while getting use to his new command!
They are both made from balsa wood, which the material for the hull, it is sealed with a acrylic varnish,painted over the top with enammel paint with clear varnish on top of the paint! The superstructure on the larger destoyer is made from thin plywood, and on the smaller frigate its made of plasticard!
I got the lynx helicoptors on Ebay from "The Dorest Print Man" I think it was, which are 3D printed by him!

Full size ELCO, made right across from my home town, Staten Island, Bayonne, NJ ... back in the day 1940's...

- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi TD,Hi TD, Admittedly there is a certain similarity in hull shape, not surprising since both classes were based on current commercial trawler / whaler designs. But that's as far as it goes. Attached is a photo (port side) of an early (short forecastle) Flower, K63 Picotee. Put that 'head to head' with the pic of Baffin's starboard side, and stbd view of the model in the video, and the differences are immediately apparent so I won't list them here. Y'all can play 'Spot the differences' 😉 First clue for me was the Pennant number; T275. 'T' for Trawler. The Flowers had pennant numbers beginning with 'K' for 'K'orvette😉 coz 'C' was already in use for Cruisers and Carriers. So I looked for HMS or HMCS T275 and immediately hit HMS Baffin. Digging deeper I also found this on UBoat Net- https://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/2718.html Q.E.D. 😉 Easy mistake to make TD. Cheers, Doug 😎[{"id":"165650628680","name":"165650628680","caption":"","url":"https:\/\/beta.model-boats.com\/media\/165650628680\/l","thumbUrl":"https:\/\/beta.model-boats.com\/media\/165650628680\/s","isImage":false,"ext":"file"}]

Model Framing Jig
Re the:- Model Framing Jig from jbkiwi .
Seeing the time and effort other people put into their modelling hobby, and looking at the "build blogs" and forum comments on "Model Boats Website". I was prompted to share (with agreement) a couple of build (logs) blogs which would reach a wider audience via my youtube posts.
The intention is just to supplement and acknowledge ideas from all who share this common interest.
No monitorisation is received from this or any postings.

- DuncanPCommanderSome photos of how I have laid out the various components in the compartments. I have my Lipo battery mounted laterally against the bulkhead in the cabin at the rear of wheelhouse (battery not shown). The battery is placed between the water-cooled ESC and the bulkhead. They are held in place with velcro as well as the extra battery box and RX box. I'm using a 3 bladed prop with a pro drive 35-42 brushless motor with a Viper 50amp water cooled ESC. The battery is a 3 cell 2200mah 11.1v Overlander battery. The RX is held in foam in an old business card plastic case along with a electronic switch to switch on the spotlight. In the aft compartment with the rudder is a 6v AAA battery box for the searchlight. When not in use, I keep the lipo battery in a fire proof bag inside a metal petty cash box for safety!😊Some photos of how I have laid out the various components in the compartments.
