Hi Russ and a very warm welcome to the forum. I deleted the other posting for you as it was obviously not meant to be there!

Interesting that you like the Cossack. I have had a Deans Marine one for a few years now and still enjoy sailing her occassionally. She was an Ebay purchase but I converted her to dual motor speed controllers and progressed her from about 90% complete to about 95% complete. I have put a couple of pictures of her in the Gallery but I have quite a few more if you are interested and I think a few of a Deans Marine model converted to Bedouin by a guy at our club. Let me know.

Interesting that you are going for a conversion to Eskimo as she was basically very similar to Cossack most of the time. There is a very good publication in the Tribal Class destroyers by a Czechoslovakian publisher with some good drawings and a colour side elevation of eskimo on the back page.

A fleet all of the same scale would be impressive indeed and certainly look the part on the local pond.

I look forward to seeing some pictures of your own build
