At long last the new Dry Dock is completed, we now need a new centre piece for the dining room table. It needs to be something interesting to provoke conversation, which the models have done quite regularly.
All I have to do now is finish the rest of the stuff that is not in camera shot!!!
43ft schooner sounds good, but I only hold an Intermediate Powerboat ticket these days. Cannot be doing with all the sticks and string stuff, it its to much like hard work, I usually ended up on the mainsheet!! So i now tend to do only the turn key stuff, only challenge there is the fuel!!!!!
Like the guys in the States John, who use compressed air cannons to fire 1/4" ball bearings at each other's ships! 😮🤕 Until there's only one left afloat - or sort of!

The big one's just silly, it ain't got no rod holders or bait board, or rowlocks for that matter. how's he going to escape when she's scuttled, in a mini tug? Better watch out for the Kiwis in their mini Archilles with her NZ SS1 fire control radar and foils, could be deadly on foam and plywood!
Actually Ian I meant Nerys' 43 foot schooner! 😁 and 11 other boats!!
😎
BTW I plan to do much the same for some of my ships on the wall in the hall.
Gotta repaint the wall first though!
Why do 'To Do' lists always get longer but never shorter!?☹️

Actually not long at all as it is a propriety modular shelving system. You have a singe horizontal rail that, in this case has 12 No12 x 38mm CSK screws walked inn to the 44mm cabin wall. Then just add the hangers and the shelf supports to fit the size of vessel. Sorted!!
Hi Ian, You mean Peasholme Park Naval Warfare! https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=peasholm+park+battle
It's still going.👍
There was a discussion about this on this site a year or so ago.
Search for Peasholme Park in the forum and you should find it.
I posted some pics and a video of it.
Commentary is a bit 'naff' but the ships are fun 😁
Cheers, Doug 😎
Yeah, that would work. But I do feel I may have to cheat with that one as a Ship in a Bottle may just be pushing my size envelope a little.
I have however been reminded of a christmas gift from a nephew. A Haynes V8 Petrol Engine. One of these clear plastic working models. That would be a good fit for me as in a past world I did my Mechanical Engineering training with a diesel and gas turbine engine making company.
