Georgeconna Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 (edited) Have this one on the go right now. Nice Pressie for the Birthday from the father. Hope to have a smoke Genny installed once I figure out the wiring as I need to have it the fan wired to the throttle to produce smoke once the throttle is raised. Every thing is placed right not and not glues expect for the wooden bow plate. Edited March 22, 2020 by Georgeconna finished Quote
Dave Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Looks great George, you can buy the smoke generator with fan built in. Quote

Georgeconna Posted March 22, 2020 Author Posted March 22, 2020 Finally Launched today, Tide was a bit low in the Pond on Fermoy but nice day for the First Voyage. She sits a bit too low so a small Batter in the hold will have to be trialled. Well pleased with this, 3 yearsit took and I love it!! 10 4 Quote

NIR Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir, Rowing home to haven in sunny Palestine, With a cargo of ivory, And apes and peacocks, Sandalwood, cedarwood, and sweet white wine Quick, I hear some of this stuff can still be found in Sainsburys... 1 Quote
Galteemore Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 Yes but if he had bog rolls in the hold the shareholders would be set for life! Better than cheap tin trays.... 1 Quote
