This was my very first RC project. In fact, it was only to be a static model, but then things changed.
Currently she's a shelf-queen as the rigging takes a while.
She can be converted to a fishing boat and fitted with a 5 blade 42mm prop and brushed 540 motor.
The sail rudder is larger and requires the prop to be removed.

The Odessa is fitted with a action camera to record her journeys. This video was produced as a trial. The Odessa has recently been resprayed in metallic red and the little dingy was removed.
She now also has a crew of three.
1:20 scale - Lindberg kit built.

Perhaps not a boat, but no pond is complete without one of these gems.
This lighthouse is fully remote controlled.
The lamp rotates at 12 rpm allowing a flash of light every 5 seconds.
A 5kg weight is mounted under the island and winched down to the bottom of the dam to anchor the island. The winch is powered by a 6V Ryobi Cordless Screw Driver's gearbox and motor.
The Fog Horn is operated by a 9V motor with a counterbalance causing a vibration inside the tower, amplifying the sound effect of a steam horn.
It's built at 1:35 scale and stands 80cm tall.

Looking for plans please

Here's a video taken of a 1:34 scale Smit Nederland tug.
Enjoy!😊

The 1:20 scale Chriscraft Constellation is one of my favorite models

Just trying a "High Aspect" sail on the "Wee Nip" - also looking at colour options and mast fitments to enable a quick change at the lake. Nothing elaborate - just fun and functional !.
Dont Forget - you can find more WEE NIP under SEARCH .

I had seen it listed on another website. I made arrangements to look at it while in Florida on vacation. Before I left, I found myself forking over cash. 😄😲
It is a Billings Nordkap 476.
I have pictures from his build log, I am also posting some of them.

Perfect tide and conditions for taking the airboat for a thrash, and making some noise. Graffiti all over the piers was some morons' nights work on the 27th !

Filmed mainly from my camera boat, this video illustrates a new model boat constructed by B.M.B.C member Dean Ratcliffe - see full information below for Build & Background info from Dean

Following the "Video log" of Nordkap 476 - here is a video of the maiden voyage carried today with Adrian at the helm

Almost perfect conditions for a better video today. Bit late in the afternoon, but I can't control the tides. Bit soggy in places, but the truck managed most of it. Enjoying seeing what the truck will handle.
