Chris Craft Corvette (Sterling Kit).

Made some more improvements on her. They always seem to need something.

Chris Craft Corvette

This is the four foot Sterling model of the Chris Craft Corvette with sound module installed. I was able to reupload the video after using "Handbrake" software. Appears youtube doesnt like lower resolution videos.

The balsa is quite thick but good idea to line the inside with polyester resin either with standard glass cloth or I find it easier to mix talcum powder with the resin to a thick paste then paint on. The outside coated only with the liquid resin without glass as with the glass theres lots of very messy sanding and re finishing.

I did the inside with epoxy. The exterior is about 20 layers of paint.

"I have videos but the file type is not supported... (MP4)"
MP4 is supported if it's not to large BW,
It may appear as an 'Invalid File' but will still work.
It will be renamed an .mpg4 file but still work on a WIN 10 PC and Media Player.
What happens when you try to upload it?
Very nice looking boat BTW👍 I see she has had a baby😉
Trailer looks interesting too. Can we have a closer look please.
Cheers, Doug 😎

Norfolk Wherry

Some pictures of my Dad's Norfolk Wherry seen here at Eton Park, Norwich. it will be featured in September 2018 "Model Boats" magazine along with his mates Wherry.
It is about 4ft long note my 3ft 72nd scale Corvette looks small next to it.

Very nice indeed, it looks like 'Albion",which I had the pleasure of looking around at Oulton Broad; it's an excellent model. I also bought a set of plans from the preservation society so it seems we'll have the makings of a fleet soon!

Flower Class Corvette

A short selection of the flower class corvettes of the Portsmouth Model Boat Display Team. All made from the same 1/48 hull mould, they are not exact replicas - more designed to look 'good' on the water. Finely detailed models do not tend to remain finely detailed for long with the abuse the Team puts them through!
I am going through the photo collection and having a good sort out and reorganisation (thanks to my old laptop crashing) amd will post more as I can.

MTBs and 'Flowers'

Just ran across this (compared with most others from the era) incredibly sharp photo, (right click the photo then left click 'Show photo' and then'+' and you'll see what I mean by sharp!!😉) apparently (allegedly?) a
'Vosper 70ft Motor Torpedo Boat V-252 at Greenock in January 1942. in the background is the Flower class Corvette HMCS Trillium(K172)'
(Which makes me wonder if OUR Trillium served on her!?)
+ 2 others! Research continues, I have an interest in both types 😉
Cheers Doug 😎

HMCS AGASSIZ (Corvette)

This truly stunning piece was created by Barry Sharman of Southampton international Plastic Modellers’ Society (IPMS UK). A replica of the HMCS Agassiz with a mind boggling level of detail not only on the outside but also on the inside visible through cut out sections of the hull. Barry invited me to see the other side of the model and was amazed to see several crew members restoring that side. Spectacular and no wonder it was protected by a glass case that Barry kindly removed so I could film it without chance of picking up any reflections.

Absolutely, Modelling par excellence👍
Just think of the planning that must have gone into this! Building such detail deck for deck from the keel up 😲 Never mind the superb weathering, just back from several N Atlantic crossings!?
And where the heck did he get all the interior detail from ?????
Fabulous, just great shame that she'll never float 🤔

Chris Craft Corvette

I saw this boat online a few years back and have coveted it ever since. it was built by an incredible man who I believed passed away and left this. The boat is "Balboa" Panama. Hopefully someone will know more about her. I would sell my entire collection for her. "note the mans hand compared to the engine"
