2. Administrators Jabo Posted December 27, 2015 2. Administrators Posted December 27, 2015 Whoa, whoa, whoa! - has the operative completed the mandatory Health and Safety Manual Handling course (Appendix B, subsection 2.1, paragraph 3)? I don't see any evidence of gloves or goggles in use here (paragraph 5.2, subsection 12). Or Hi-vis jackets. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted December 27, 2015 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted December 27, 2015 Hi-vis jackets? He's not even on the road! Okay, okay, I'll ask 'm to play it safe! Quote

DD_Arthur Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Is this a holiday trip? Why are you towing a submarine FT? 1 Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 14, 2016 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 14, 2016 Is this a holiday trip? Why are you towing a submarine FT? Submarine? WTF? If anything like it, it's only half a U boat! It's a very nicely built wooden very speedy speedyboat! And the trailer is scratch built as well, apart from its wheels... Quote
DD_Arthur Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Whilst it certainly looks like a nicely built wooden very speedy speedyboat, judging by the gaps in your clinker, once on the water and doing its speedy speedy thing it will rapidly become a submarine. You don't want gaps in 'yer clinker m8. Who would? Edit; how did you build the trailer? Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 15, 2016 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 15, 2016 Oh, them gaps! Yeah, well... Trailer was also built from wood, painted in silvery/metal color. 1 Quote
1. DDz Quorum Painless Posted January 15, 2016 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 15, 2016 You guys have just reminded me of one of the two things I remember from school.... That there boat is Carvel built not Clinker...... Impressed ? Lol FT you could posh it up a bit so it looks like one of those beautiful Riva speed boats..... http://www.riva-yacht.com/en-us/riva/scalemodels.aspx Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted January 25, 2016 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted January 25, 2016 Thick layer of paint just fixed all the leaks ... (I'm pleasantly surprised about how them colors worked out: I just picked the only glossy Red Humbrol , and the only glossy White Humbrol I have, and there ya go, a perfect match!) 1 Quote

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted February 14, 2016 Author 1. DDz Quorum Posted February 14, 2016 So, in my hunt for a 1/64 (S) scale fork lift truck (I one to be able to lift my custom built 1/64pallets) I kinda failed miserably, as I had ordered a truck, 1:70 sized according to the box, but as it arrived it was much and much larger. Somewhere between 1:16 and 1:25. Failed? Well, this thing is all metal, steering rear wheels, connected to the steering wheel. The lift part goes up/down nicely in two stages, ánd it tilts ... ! All in all, a very nice model! And so, as I'm still modeling, I decided to create pallets fitting this model ... initially, I created a 1:18 scale pallet: That one appeared to be a bit too large, and further research shows this truck is actually 1:25 scale. So... And indeed, what's next? Safety warning: I was wearing glasses, happy about that as during the work on one of the pallets, I manage to snap the blade of my hobby knife... BANG! ... parts flying around, one of 'm hitting my forehead, above the right hand eye. Bleedin'! So, next I needed to replace the bladed. Opened up the container, picked out a blade ... yikes, sharp, cut my thumb! Bleedin' ! Should've worn gloves as well I guess.... Quote
PapaBear Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Be careful FT you will have the health and safety brigade on to us modellers, then we will have to go on a course to use modelling knives lol. Great fork lift and pallets !! Sent from my SM-A300FU using Tapatalk Quote
T_O_A_D Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Nice its a Caterpillar Well NEXT would be a truck for your ForkTruck to load pallets on duh! Quote
T_O_A_D Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Here those airplanes I was telling you about on comms. 1:48 scale Of course all my skill was tied up into just snapping them together LOL 1 Quote
