Fishing Boat


I love the new challenges, I cannot resist ....


Anyway, once opened the box I discovered that is more than a simple challenge :P

These are the “super detailed” instructions......(there are some plans...)

And this is an amount of wooden pieces without any number or reference

The final result, if I build it correctly, must be this lovely fishing boat typical from the Biscay Gulf dedicated to the specialized fishing (boulter, trolling and string).


Is the smaller of deck boats, with binding strakes which go from 10 till 18 meters. Its construction is very solid, predominating fancy woods.


Its complement, depending on the tonnage can be from two up to six men.


SCALE MODEL:


TALHOER (Disarmodel) Ref.20143


Length 17 7/8 inch.


Breadth 5 1/8 inch.


Height 14 3/8 inch.


Scale 1/35 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! simply perfect for a diorama.

That's perfect for a motor and battery. Not only do you get to build a scale model but to make it seaworthy and operational, now there is a challenge.

[Guest]

That will be awesome

Thanks Richard!!!


I want to see it over a diorama......


The next future project should be a big, big steam rc model boat


Thanks again

Looking forward to seeing this come together, so I'll be watching

I love the way you fly off in new directions.


Just follow the plan and I am sure you will build a great model out of that.


Oh. It would be daft not to make it RC ready. It will be hard to do once built, and just because it can run don't mean it has to be ran... :-)

1/35?...I'll be watching

Look forward to this, I have been toying with building a wooden ship kit, started one years ago but lost my way with it.

[Guest]

My way of looking at my own ship build was to add the diorama to the ship rather than add the ship to the diorama. This gave me a working RC model with little dioramas built on it. On the raised quarterdeck accomodation I have a couple of crew having a chat and on the fo'c's'le I have two crew handling ropes ready for the next docking operation. The bridge will also have a Captain and a quartermaster on the wheel, all of which is to put as much detail interest into the model as possible and I guess in a way making it a mobile diorama. There again it is now 12 years in the making and I still haven't finished it so it is more of a long term project.

Yesterday I was very excited, because I found this boat....


It was a 1/35, just a perfect one for me, as I love to build dioramas.


I've been looking for a ship for a while, you know it , anyway I have some doubts today .


This boat looks better showed on a base or similar than sailing on the water....I have to mention that I don't know nothing about RC boats, so is very possible that I am wrong!!!


My idea is to come into the boats world with this one, and then purchase someone with fibre hull. Like some of yours.


My travel to Telford is every day a more solid project.


You know if I can find some item at the show? I've been looking the seller's list and don't seems to be any boat one there! but I'm not worried....I'm managing the possibility to come with my own car (I want to visit some places, and prefer my own mobility).


There is a good "real" shop where to buy some RC boat between Telford and Dover?!?


Thanks

Ps: hope you are interested on this project....because I will need an amount of help!!! I'm quite lost!!
