Here are some pics from a new member: I hope they work! The 12x8 workshop was a first attempt at design and build, then my partner asked for an extension so along came the Pottery. I had to have something to make so I made a Stuart 10v. I had to power it so I made a Martin Evans water tube boiler. It sat on a board for a while, but my partner had the bright Idea for both of us to give up drinking for a few weeks, so I saw this photo of a beautiful launch and made it from scratch. The home made variable pitch prop was more fun than fiddling with a reversing mechanism! I'm now contemplating a 3.5 Britannia so any offers of help or documentation would be welcomed. janetandjohnbarrett.spaces.live.com/photos |

P.S. What I'm saying is that nobody except you can see the pictures - duh!

All this 'Spaces' stuff is a bit much for me. I think I've fixed it, could someone please try again. Thanks. John

I couldn't remember the origin so I chose the generic option!

Chris.
Thanks for the compliment: that prop took a little bit of thinking about with its three shafts, although I'd possibly prefer it if a man of your stature loved the brush paint job! I nicked the lady's squirrel hair 1" make-up brush for the blue hull, worked a treat with 10% thinners. The Sprite Major stayed in its box!
