testing new minigear in 1/72 lifeboat
« on: 04 December 2012, 16:34:28 »

Hi all
We have broken the ice on the water and had a test run, very very windy and cold, not the best of days.
Great test drive she handled a dream, we added lead wts to allow for the rest of the parts to be fitted later, needed to test her to see how she handled the wind and waves, and there were plenty of them, and icebergs ? now get her finished and painted up. where is the wisky / coffee anti freeze ?

Hi all
 The next model on the test runs Revell 1/72 sale PT109, what a day to test a small model, blowing a gale and some, freezing cold, and ice all around the edge of the lake. will need LOTS of anti freeze today, hooray
 N gauge is a good scale for model railways, stay in the warm, proper hobby.

the Severn Class RNLI boat does look very good on the water, looks as if it could handle a lot more weight as well..

Are there any videos/pictures of the PBR mentioned in the online shop description of the mini gear?

The PBR under test is the Tamiya 1/25 scale plastic kit, we will publish it on the site when we are happy with the test runs, also working on a STAB boat
