Thank you for admittance to this group. I think many members already know me. Hi to them.
For other members I'm from Leeds in UK and I was a late starter in modelling but I have a few years behind me now.
I'm largely quite confident about my building and frequently experiment in construction techniques, sometimes very successful but if not most things can be recycled [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

Just joined can't say I'll be the most prolific poster as I'm a bit wary as I've had a bit of a bad time at the other place. I'm mainly interested in powerboats but I've got a yacht that I dabble with though I'll never join the race crowd!
At present I'm cleaning up a Graupner Pegasus i bought just after Christmas and hope to relaunch once the weather stops moving so fast.

would this be the only Phil the one that isnt very good at straight running by any concevable chance

Hi everyone. I'm recently retired and have taken up building model boats, mainly to keep my sanity! I spend lots of time on the road in our motorhome so it's good to have something to aim at when we're back home. I've only built a couple of models and turned to this site for some help with my Billings Thames Barge - should have started looking earlier or delayed starting the build!

I am endeavouring to build Billing Boats "Will Everard" suitable for an advanced beginner!!! and I am struggling with the lack of detailed information regarding the kit components:

Component F823 is a sheet of moulded plastic parts, does anyone have a key to identify these parts?. What are the diameters of the various cogs identifed as F823 -g,h,i, and j?
I would also appreciate details …

To anyone that can help.....
My husband built model and radio controlled boats for about 15 years. In 2016, he got maculer degeneration and couldn't work on them anymore. In 2017, he got cancer and passed away this year in January. I have three huge boats in varying degrees of completeness. I also have every single tool, piece of equipment, material, instruction, blueprint, etc. to build these …
