Global Scale Modeller

Hi all here is my scratch built model of the Paddle Steamer Waverley

Commendable workmanship. Is there a video of this ship, strutting it's stuff in water?

Sorry afraid not in those pics I took her to show off to my boss and she chose then to snap a drive shaft, made me look sheepish I can tell you.

Sorry to hear that. I had an RC Pro boat that was returned to me after some repairs on engine and speed regulator. I was so proud that I had to show it to my Dad, who noticed the boat got a list on the port side. Ignoring his warnings, I carried on driving the boat by accelerating the speed. Big mistake. 3 seconds in, the whole blooming thing went under the water and sunk like a stone. I was beside my self with grief. I mourned it's loss for many months. One of those things that was not meant to be, I guess. That's why I like doing models instead.

Sorry not replied to this just seen it. I can sympathize with you there i built an rc of the titanic took it out on the lake and a water skier got too close and swamped it. I too was beside myself.

Pics have gone!

Pic's have GONE I suspect the hoster is causing a issue

Expect you are right about the pics Digger.

Bissyboat. The PS Waveney was featured in one of the Canal Journeys series on UK TV that was presented by actor Tim West and his wife Prunella Scales. Alternatively maybe there is footage on UTube to look at. The Waveney is a preserved heritage vessel so I would imagine some video footage should be easy to find on the web.
