I like this website! You can post a building issue and get advice from people in the know. I did the following. Left the prop assembly alone, but removed material from the rudder. It is secured top and bottom; did a test several times, fili …

Hi Ron - alternatively to JBs suggestion you could try two other things . Use a 4mm Brass nut (assuming its a 4mm shaft) then file that to almost washer size - but ensure there's still a little bit of thread left - that will still work as a …

Exactly my thoughts JB Ron: screw the prop on nice and tight using Loctite or similar for security. Fit a thrust washer as JB says and a collet and thrust washer at the inboard end. See attached pic of the collet fitting on my Sea Scout. Fo …

Hi Ron, can you remove the nut in front of the prop and fit a small teflon (or similar) washer (.5mm) in its' place, then fit a collar to the motor end of the shaft to hold the shaft in place. That would probably gain you about 3mm by the l …

Houston, we have a problem...the new brass prop is installed, universal too, but when putting the rudder back in place the new prop’s bulb is sticking out too much. Can I shave off some of that bulb to give the rudder some clearance? As it …

(Tug Boat) Cervia hull depth numbers
Hi Rogal, As far as I know since over a hundred years ANY commercial ship, or private recreational ship over a certain tonnage, will require the so called Plimsoll Line depth markings. So if you have scale markings (decals?) to suit - Go Fo …

Hi JB - Corel X7 works fine with 8.1 . I use X3 for the Lasers old software's sake. Better half has X7 - student/home version is cheap too. (When transferring to me simply saves as version X3) As you say very easy with Corel - also used the …

Ron - forgot there is one other method - some print/signage shops have vinyl cutters - they can cut lettering very accurately (surprisingly small too) from stick on vinyl and supply it with the "frame" to accurately position it. Same sort o …

Ron - there used to be plastic lettering on the market called Slaters Plasticard - really meant for railway modelling - each letter is stuck on seperately and can be painted any colour you like . Came in various sizes - some quite large . S …

Sounds good to me Ron Thinks! If you use white decal paper 'all you have to do' is match your print background colour to the hull colour! That's what I couldn't manage with the royal blue hull of my Sea Scout But with a black hull it should …

Hi Ron, Pete, "how do you get an inkjet of laser printer, to print White ink" That is the perennial problem I've struggled with that as well, and really there ain't no satisfactory solution. The basic answer is 'You can't!' One of the drawb …

Er PPS, Forgot to mention Ron - You will need to first paint a block of white on the hull where you want to apply the decal prepared as described in my previous post! Uvverwise you'd end up wiv black on black! Oops Cheers, Doug

PS Ron, There is possibly one way to get the white on hull colour - with luck! And that is to use the decal paper and prepare your print file with 'white' letters and a background colour to match your hull colour. With your black hull that …

You have just about covered it all Doug, only problem I can see, is the one I have trouble with, and that is how do you get a inkjet of laser printer, to print White ink? You can buy white decal sheet, then print an outline of text, but you …

Very nice little model. I could not see how good this was going to look at the start, but now, really nice.

You could try and cut the lettering out of some tape to make a stencil and spray paint through the tape stencil. Martin555.
