      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Bob Pottle, just thought I would post about the ships I have you built. HMS Courageous, HMS Minotaur, HMS Hood, and my son Ben’s SNS Canarias, all are now in my den displayed. I always thought you built your ships with detail that most builders didn’t do knowing they would be shot at and sunk. As a sailor that means a lot to me. I thank you for building these ships they have been enjoyed by everyone especially myself and my son. I hope you are doing well. If you are ever in South Carolina...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Almost two years ago John C., Paul M. and I got together and talked about reviving NATS in 2014. Unfortunately nothing happened, in large part due to people&#039;s work committments. <br />
<br />
I&#039;m trying to revive NABS (NS) again. So far this year there are three interested people with RC warship combat experience: Steve Hill, Ralph Coles and me. <br />
<br />
Jason C. and Paul M. were both still interested last year and each had at least two battle-ready models. With Minotaur being sold soon I have only HMS Gorgon...<br />

There will be a new Captain on the water this year, as long as we can get the time to build.<br />
My friend Dave, who Bob may remember from the submarine project (he was our draughtsman), is the proud new owner of  one of Ralphs&#039; Graf Spee hulls. Gonna get him set up with as many parts as I can muster up (once I get them unpacked).<br />

He will be logging in soon enough and saying hi for himself.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[While the spackle was drying on the Hawkins Class hull plug I did a bit of work on HMS Cumberland, filling the scores in the deck from my attempt to scribe planks on it 20 years ago. Tamiya modelling putty worked well and the deck is now smooth. This being one of my first fiberglass decks I hadn&#039;t used enough gelcoat for effective plank scribing - the blade kept hitting the underlying hard resin and skipping. Fortunately I&#039;d marked less than a fifth of the deck before selling it in 1998.<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Hi all,<br />
<br />
Doesn&#039;t seem like there&#039;s much activity in NABS these days with our core members scattered about, however if anyone is interested, my HMS Cumberland is up for sale. It&#039;s been freshly re-sheeted, however needs some work on the internals (wiring harness and servo placement) before it&#039;s ready to hit the water again. This could be a way to get someone up and running quickly, it should only take a day of soldering a wiring harness and waiting for glue to set on servo&#039;s before she sails...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[One of my brothers has been clearing out dad&#039;s basement since he went into a nursing home and found a box of my earliest efforts at ship modelling dating from high school, so more than 40 years ago! John found most of the keel and frames from a planned ironclad ram loosely based on Thunderchild from H.G. Well&#039;s War of the Worlds. The hull cross sections aren&#039;t bad but planking it was beyond my skills then so it&#039;s tin ram blade never saw use.<br />

Another find was a 1/72 scale pine and balsa hull...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[About 8-9 ears ago Ralph was commissioned by the Tuttles to build a Seydlitz hull plug, mold and 7 hulls,  which were shipped to the Tuttles. He kept the first hull from the mold  and has just decided to build the Seydlitz instead of a Mogami, partly because I&#039;m building an Indefatigable Class battlecruiser with a hull from his mold. (When I complete the rebuilds of the Canarias and Suffolk we&#039;ll have a pair of well matched cruisers so a Mogami isn&#039;t needed yet.)<br />

Seydlitz is more than 10%...<br />

      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Last September I bought SNS Canarias back from Larry Dingle and yesterday I got HMS Cumberland back from Brechin Piper. I&#039;d started to build the Cumberland as HMS Suffolk, the only two Kent Class cruisers with cut-down quarterdecks. The hull was finished and much of the internal equipment installed when I decided to build the Canarias (which uses the same hull and can battle Axis or Allied) instead. Cumberland was sold in 1998, with turrets but no superstructure.<br />

The plan is to build two...<br />
