Thanks Pete - really miss being able to go to the shows - almost took me there . Miss the chit chat too !

Wow fantastic models! Extreme detail!!! Makes mine seem so novice.

She is back in dry dock for more fitting out by Lee who constructed and owns the model.
She is quite a beast at 1/72 scale about 6ft / 2mtr long. Fleetscale kit/parts i think ?.
Special significance for me that my son has served on HMS Iron Duke.

Hi Phil,
Wonder if your son was on board when I had a look round Iron Duke during the Exponaval in Valparaiso naval harbour many years ago?
When not at the exhibition discussing the COMMS fit for the OPVs Armada de Chile have since built I was on the other side of the dock doing some upgrades to a 1kW HF transmitter on a Leander frigate. Took longer than expected to upgrade the SW so I nearly ended up sailing with her. Might have been fun😉
Cheers, Doug 😎

Very good video.👍

Great Video!👍
Fantastic Effects!👍

Remindes me of berthing alongside just down from the Crescent city connection bridge, near Canal Street - I`m sure the "Precedent" steamer used to be there 45 years ago ?.

I like your paddlewheel “Mark Twain”!
The boats namesake is quite a prolific writer, and in his book “A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court” he talks about his time in England. I don’t know if you smoke cigars, but an interesting paper he wrote is more about the nature of people, “Concerning Tobacco”....this is a short paper. Funny, but oh so true!
I like the Calliope!

Do you alight the lights remotelly, or just locally?, do the lights share a single group or maybe you have several groups of lights?, could you please, show us the device used to switch them on?

I really like it, so much so that I ordered one immediately.
Thanks for posting the pictures. I was waiting for a new project.
Peter.😊

Enjoy the build

That is a great job on the tug. I have a question: when can I find a figure for my Tug? Where do you get yours?

JBRC, thanks for the compliment, figures sourced from Shapeways, just search online, Merchant Navy set No3, any scale can be achieved, within reason....I've been really happy with them so far...

Hi JB this looks good , what pumps did you use and where did you pipe them into the system

Hi Mike. I used 2 mini air pumps (3v) same as the one you are using, (1 per side) Drawing is of method used but without the smoke (as mentioned,- no room) and just running an extra line from the cooling pump instead to the smoke/air exit. The larger 12v pump I tried (see latest smoker attached to exhaust pipes vid) works a lot better and is quieter if you have the room.
