Here are some photos of my HMS Javelin just completed.
It has yet to have its maiden voyage.

Thanks for sharing,

Thanks for the remarks Oliver, If you have the Deans CD you will find that a great help especially with all the fittings and their positions.

Enjoy your build and dont forget to post the photos.

It took me about four and a half weeks Tommy, but I am disabled and stuck at home with nothing else to do.

After a lot of bad health I at long last gave her her maiden voyage.

Two 7.2v battery packs side by side in front of the motors was all the ballast needed and despite the wind she sailed well.

Just super!!!

I sure wish we had model ship clubs here like you all do  in the UK.

I live in a retirement community here with over 14,000 people.

I posted a query on our community website looking for anyone that might be interested forming a club and I got no responses.

We do have a club that races sailboats, but nothing for scale model ships.

Keep up the good work.

Always,
