    Yesterday was a special day. Having been inspired by this website, I got my 34” Crash Tender back on the water for the first time in 45 years! I built it in the early 1970s. In those days it had a Diesel engine, and a home built 27MHz radio. Even the servos we home built from kits. Then I got married, bought a house, raised a family and the boat was confined to a shelf in the garage. How things have changed in 45 years.😁 I have equipped it with a brushless motor, Li-Po battery and 2.4GHz radio. Great to see it on the lake yesterday. Now I don’t have to worry about making it move with an unreliable motor and radio I can have a go at adding some scale fittings and fixtures. Never got round to that the first time. The build blogs on this site are awesome and a real inspiration. Watch this space, working monitors and searchlight next.....

      Welcome aboard Graham 👍😊
      Look forward to your 'Special functions' Blog(s).
      I too remember building servos from kits.
      Nowadays I cannibalise them to use in special functions.
      Tried and failed to make my own 27Meg TX back then☹️
      Could probably figure out what was wrong now, having spent my working life on radio systems.
      Cheers, Doug 😎
      PS put your Crash Tender in your Harbour please!!

    Hi Guys,
    Well what can I say.
    This site was recommended to me by a good friend.
    Although I have only been a member on this site a short time I have been made to feel extremely welcome. I have found that the members are a very friendly bunch, and there skills and knowledge is outstanding.
    As I am not a member of any model boat club and the wife is not that interested in my model making it becomes a bit of a lonely hobby, so I would like to thank you Guys for the help and advice and encouragement.
    Every one on this site is genuinely interested in all aspects of the hobby and sharing information and there help.
    I would definitely recommend this site to the beginner or the more experienced model makers.
    Thanks again Guys.

    Martin.

      What the lower ranks sometimes call the officers, especially the higher ranking ones.
      Due to the gold leaf on the peaks of their caps.
      The higher you go the more 'brass'. 😉

      More like egg to go with the frankfurter.
      Hi Doug, couldn't resist. As an ex brassy.
      Now my wife has her new craft room I can get back to the modelling. I have to try and get some info on the new tug, still haven't been able to find details of the boat or maker. Label reads J&P McConnell, Mersey Tugs, Catalogue number 00603. At 1003mm long not too bad. Will be building it with my grandson for him to use. So anyone out there who knows the maker or model I'd appreciate a pointer or two.
      Cheers Colin.

      Tush tush Colin,
      That's a Bratwurst not a Frankfurter, which BTW the Germans call Wiener!
      'Orrible tasteless things 🤔 But you're right it is sometimes referred to as 'Scrambled Egg' as well 👍
      Dun my best to find something on your tug but searching J&P McDonnell only turns up things like American judges. Sorry😭
      Cheers, Doug 😎
      PS The cap in my avatar is just one of many I collected during 30 odd years of globe-trotting to navies all over the world. That one is from the Leander class frigate 'Lynch' of the Chilean Navy. Later sold to the Ecuador Navy, from whom I have a Commandante's cap with more brass (egg?) on it, and one from their submarine 'Shiri'.
      The one I cherish most though is from NAeL Minas Gerais of the Brazilian Navy, a former RN Colossus class carrier HMS Vengeance. I have found two kits of the Colossus class which I will try to build (and motorise) one as the original Vengeance and one as Minas Gerais with angled flight deck conversion etc. Wish me luck😉

      Hi there, sorry no information other than the labels on each piece, (all the same).
      My research has turned up one possible boat called HAZELGARTH, from the REA TOWING COMPANY, based in Liverpool 1950s and 60's. This is only based on photos I have been able to find. BTW. The funnel has a letter R in a diamond emblem molded on it. Help much appreciated.
      Cheers Colin. 🤔

    further to my previous guestbook entry, my wife now fully understands a love a man has for his precious objects like lathe and a tower Drill and custom made workbench, and while I can't bring them back into the bedroom she will arrange for my bed to go to the workshop!!! hope summer come soon....🙄

    Hi everybody,
    Joined the site back in 2017 while I was getting over heart surgery, It taken a long time and 3 ops. but am now retired, recently married and looking forward to getting back into modelling. My model dockyard is now up and running ( 18ft workshop from the wife as a wedding present, She told me I had to move the lathe,drill and workbench out of the bedroom before she would move in. women are funny about things like that!!!. So now I've got a nice big workshop to start building in.) and she has got a nice clean bedroom, the art pf compromise is not dead..
    I Have recently acquired a 46" huntsman Hull without any superstructure so now I've got to decide what type to build and see if I can get any plans.
    As I said i joined back in 2017 but have spent the last 2 years lurking in the background, I've enjoying all the posts, you are an amazing bunch of people, very friendly, extremely diverse and I only hope that I can contribute as much as you all seem to.

    I've been a member since Jan 2019 but building rc boats for over 6 months now! A real novice, but love doing it now I have the time. As a Novice I have really valued all the help and advice you get on this site.
    I also like the build Blog as its a complete record of progress on building the boat for others to see and learn where maybe the build instructions are not like real life!

    I'm a static model boat builder, I build from scratch, and have built from plans. Looking for a model building forum to share and ask questions. I've been building models for about 5 years. I'll post some pictues later.

    Hello, Joined this site as returned to model boats after some years absence and think this site will be useful for info, hints etc. There are no boating hobbyist in my town, nearest boating lake is the superb one at Basingstoke, of which I am a member. Main work is finishing off a Thames Barge (kit)and a Vic Smeed designed Thornycroft MTB. Wishing you a fair wind in your sails. SpidedBruce

    Hello, Just been a member for a short time now and I really enjoy this site. Couple of reasons, I enjoy getting information from different parts of the world, different views. One of my main interests is English Working Sailboats, I find the feedback from the UK guys great! My ancestry is English, having sailed on the ship Abigail in 1628. My enthusiasm has been encouraged by all of the very helpful posts. Fast way to get information and collaboration.
    Regards, Joe
