The RCMB Forum

Hello everyone,

I'm new to this hobby and forum. I have mostly been helping out my neighbour with his model boats, mainly painting them and also sailing them when he lets me. He didn't want to join any forums so I've joined to research hints and tips and also reach out for any help and advice. I am looking to build my first boat this spring.

I am also on Teleguard Messenger if you'd like …

Hello and Merry Christmas to everyone.
I live at a Retirement Village with my wife in Tea Gardens, NSW, Australia, moved in last September.

Should I go straight to Billings, or are there better ways to …

Hi, I'm from Thames in NZ. I've built a few boats over the years, the most recent is the Missouri that I started 12 years ago. Good things take time. For the past few weeks have been working on the Dumas 74ft tug. I only wish I had 4 hands with 12 fingers on each. Recently retired thinking I would have buckets of time to play with this intriguing build but my wonderful wife has created a list …

I'm new to this forum, but now I'm on my fourth boat - Mountfleet Brede lifeboat.

I'm building this for display, so no issues with running gear. If, and that's a big if, it's successful I'm thinking of a Tyne or similar.

Greetings and Salutations everyone,

Living near the Gippsland Lakes in Australia. Retired from IT and developing new interests.

Currently building my first model, Will Everard, from the Billings kit. The hull is just about finished and ready for painting, then the hard work starts.

My next one will be another Billings kit, for a Dragon, as …
