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
Dave Posted September 16, 2016 Posted September 16, 2016 Looks great George, you can buy the smoke generator with fan built in.
Georgeconna Posted October 30, 2017 Author Posted October 30, 2017 Some more of the Boat done a few months back. Electrics are done and the Smoke Vapouriser works a treat 1
Georgeconna Posted October 30, 2017 Author Posted October 30, 2017 Hull was painted back in May and not much else done since, Just the lifeboats added. 2
Georgeconna Posted October 30, 2017 Author Posted October 30, 2017 Yep, A Gawd awful Model, got it for a Tennor, It was basically a Toy with motorised Props, these were all taken out and re hashed as a kit. 2
jhb171achill Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 Wow!!!! That is a VERY nice-looking beast!
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
leslie10646 Posted March 22, 2020 Posted March 22, 2020 "Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smokestack Butting up the Channel in the Mad March days With a cargo of Tyne Coal Road rails Pig iron Firewood, ironware and cheap tin trays" Super little ship, George and deserving of a nicer verse than John M's famous verse quoted above! If ye're in Lockdown, ye can get on wi' yon "Quinquireme of Nineveh" 1 1
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
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
Georgeconna Posted July 3, 2022 Author Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) While the sweep up the bits of the motors in Silverstone here is a short Vid from this am of My Talacre is Action in Slow motion. Just discovered the transmitter Antenna was frayed on my Transmitter so obviously contributed to my Albatros crash last year. 6cm bit of wire Would you believe a RC shop in Dublin does a spare!! Wow! 226221775_20220703_104605(1).mp4 Edited July 3, 2022 by Georgeconna 3 2
Galteemore Posted July 3, 2022 Posted July 3, 2022 That looks incredible George. The smoke is the icing on the cake. That sounds odd but hopefully you know what I mean ! 1
