M class destroyer

Hello again, here’s a picture of an M class destroyer which I built some years ago, she is of again balsa construction from Model Boat Magazine plans, I built over one winter about 9 years ago, she is sealed with dope and tissue which gives a smooth finish, the guns were constructed from plastic card, with brass rods for the barrels!
She was retired a couple of years ago, but recently she was brought out retirement and gifted to family friend was showing an interest in battle ships!

First sail of the year!

Back in May I was able to get my boats out on a the local boating lake, it went ok and it was magical to have them on the water again, although I did have battery issues, and my small type 24 frigate had a leak, well I live and learn, back to shed to discharge and recharge my NMHI batteries, and address the leak! More to follow soon!

Hi Trev, if your talking about the little gray sub it’s scratch built. If you want to know about the larger sub later in the vid I’ll have to ask Ed where he got the hull.

My Two boat task force

Here is pitcure of both my boats sailing on a boating lake not far from my home, the larger of the two was commandeered by my 8 year old son for a trainning mission he had in mind, which gave me an excuse to build another one, which is the smaller boat the picture, as the young captain needed escorting while getting use to his new command!
They are both made from balsa wood, which the material for the hull, it is sealed with a acrylic varnish,painted over the top with enammel paint with clear varnish on top of the paint! The superstructure on the larger destoyer is made from thin plywood, and on the smaller frigate its made of plasticard!
I got the lynx helicoptors on Ebay from "The Dorest Print Man" I think it was, which are 3D printed by him!

Well done. If it were work might say progress is slow. No punch clocks with a hobby no such thing as being to slow.

Static outboard cruiser converted to R/C

Many years ago I bought a scale(not sure what scale) outboard motor. Have been looking for a suitable hull for the motor. Rather recently this cabin cruiser showed up.
First two photos of the as found.Previously found outboard attached.

Bill that’s very cool. Wondering if it’s possible to access the motor and replace it with one of the same type but less powerful, that way you wouldn’t have to mess with the end points. Anyway, very nice!!

With some sleight-of-hand & other chicanery I hid all the RC gear except the motor leads and the esc switch.😎

This model is one of our club members he told me it's name but I forgot . She may be a sub hunter WW2.She is a scratch build with a lot of detail & I like the looks of her.

Hi TD,
Admittedly there is a certain similarity in hull shape, not surprising since both classes were based on current commercial trawler / whaler designs.
But that's as far as it goes. Attached is a photo (port side) of an early (short forecastle) Flower, K63 Picotee.
Put that 'head to head' with the pic of Baffin's starboard side, and stbd view of the model in the video, and the differences are immediately apparent so I won't list them here.
Y'all can play 'Spot the differences' 😉

First clue for me was the Pennant number; T275. 'T' for Trawler.
The Flowers had pennant numbers beginning with 'K' for 'K'orvette😉 coz 'C' was already in use for Cruisers and Carriers.

So I looked for HMS or HMCS T275 and immediately hit HMS Baffin. Digging deeper I also found this on UBoat Net-
https://uboat.net/allies/warships/ship/2718.html
Q.E.D. 😉
Easy mistake to make TD.
Cheers, Doug 😎
