- DWBrinkmanRear AdmiralAt first I was surprised to see you with boats on open water in Canada.
This week we finally have open water in Central MN, but it was just on the news that there is still 18" of ice on the lakes in northern MN.
THEN, I looked at a map and realized that you are considerably south of me. Basically as far south as the MN Iowa border.
OK, I'm jealous! I want to be able to play on the lake with my toy boats too!

Graham's boats are scratch-built onto fibreglass hulls.
My boats are totally scratch-built.
it is best viewed on a larger screen in HD.
- StephenSRecruitBrilliant. Best war film I've seen in years.
My mtb's of mtb 389. Built 40 odd years ago and left in the loft where it collected dust and soot. When I retired I brought it down, fitted a Graupner 700 motor in and ran it on 14.4v. It plains very realistic. Thanks for the video...👍

............. Just for fun !
While some were just floaters, and some sank trying, there was a good collection of models actually in action.
One of them was the 1,5m Steam Tug, Miamota
The video was taken with an iPhone mounted in front of the bridge of the Smit London Tug boat with LOA of 1.7m
She was a very pretty ship and also built in the UK.
My friend is a meticulous modeler and vessel is a credit to him.
Has both bow and stern thrusters and a bow rudder.
He did write a article for Model Boats International when it was still available.
I can still recall where I was when news of the ship's sinking played out on TV. A few years later, my first job as a student engineer at then-AEI in Manchester UK was working beside the engineer responsible for the design of it's successor, the Rangatira's, main steam turbines. When I considered building a model of the Rangatira I thought the looks of her were spoilt by the funnel shape and, since it was almost a duplicate of the Wahine, I opted to build the Wahine.

PS. I have seen Rowen's models up close and his posts here do not do justice to the quality and detail that he puts into every model. Every detail is scratcbuilt and accurately constructed.
