Hi guys this is my other hobbie away from railways, Radio controled model ships. The model is a Trinity house bouy tender,

(Click to enlarge)

Very nice too Paul.:thumbs

A beauty, Paul.  :thumbs  Have you got any moving Magic Lantern pictures of her under way?

Nice one Paul. :thumbs  Is it from a kit or scratchbuilt ?

When I lived in UK, I too was into RC boats - mostly warships - but when we moved here, the absence of any clubs or decent water made it a very lonely (and rather pointless) hobby.  There's not much fun to be had out of sailng on a 10 metre long swimming pool and, although there are loads of big irrigation ponds in the area, they're both deep (should one sink) and very weedy.

I then turned (or rather "re" turned) to model railways.

Without wishing to poach your thread, here's one of mine, languishing in the attic where it's been for the last 10 years ……..

Hi guys, Beacon is totally scratch built. Ply wood frames, bolser wood planks, sorry not had much of a summer to get

Cheers,

John
