Somewhere I've got something on this - just give me a day or two to dig it out! I have located a copy of the original plan that I will copy for you. My Resolution is in many bits at the moment having suffered some electrical problems - but it will get looked at again once some other projects are finished. Is your one still in kit form or built? They're a bit of a rarity these days I suspect.

I've found the instructions. Will get them copied at the beginning of the week and send you a personal message when done.

Hi Andrew

Many thanks looking forward to seeing them. Presumabley you'll have built the boat then maybe i could pick your brains if need be. Anyway thanks again and i will refund any expenses on your part.

Regards Julian.

Hi Julian, I know I am being cheeky here, but if it is still in kit form and you decide against building it, I'll be more than happy to offer you a very decent price for it :regards:

[Guest]

Andrew hi,

Picked up your reply to Julian on Google and, guess what! .. Yup, I've got a (partly constructed) HMS Resolution - MINUS Instructions (:lame.

Could I prevail on you to copy your instructions to me? I'm very happy to reward you for your effort.

You can contact me at tony.gibson@eze.uk.com

Hello amd welcome,

If i am right I think one of the modelling mags did some form of review when this kit was about ( yrs ago now ) it might be still available on back issue , don't know if it was model boats or not ? might be worth a telephone call

Regards Sub.

Sorry for the delay in replying but I've only just managed to find the instructions! I'll get them scanned and e-mailed to you over the weekend with a bit of luck - particularly if the current weather deters me from going to the pond. My own Mk 1 Resolution as seen in the earlier photo is currently being re-wired and the Mk2 version remains unstarted I'm afraid but is nearing the top of the pile to start. Meanwhile I've been finishing off 'Sir William Wallace' - the old Queensferry Passage paddle car ferry that used to cross the Forth before the opening of the Forth road bridge.

Thanks for the info Sub, I'll take a look on the web and see if I can locate the magazine you refer to.

Again thanks for the instructions you sent. Didn't know there was a Mk2 version of the boat (mine's a Mk1) .. are there many differences? Also, seeing you have completed your Mk1, can you answer a question for me: The micro-switch which sits at the end of the ballast tanks, how did you water-proof them? I'm stumped on this point.

[Guest]

The differences between the 2 are minimal - the mark 2 is slightly longer and beamier making it easier to work on. The micro-switches run in the wet and amazingly there is no need to waterproof them. Mine has run for many years and I am only now in the [rocess of replacing them after 1 failed.
