| Firstly a warm welcome to the forum, enjoy your time here and make the most of the reources we have available.
Very nice looking boat there, I particularly like the brasswork, especially the handrails. Do you have any internal pictures?

| the model is the robbe dusseldorf feuerloschboot ( fire boat ) it will have when it is finished 3 independent working fire monitors amongst other working operations im hoping to make the radar , anchor winches and life boat crane operational also . i will post an internal shot but there isnt much to see in there at the moment barring the motors and water pump the operations for the fire monitors has been stripped out until painting has been completed .. | |

| heres a couple of internal shots didnt really want to post these as the epoxy around the rudder arrangement is messy to say the least . The orange thing mounted along side the servo is the water pump to operate the fire monitors .. | |

| the working fire monitors will be very good. can you put them on a servo so you can move the around? is that how you plan on making the working crane and things as well?
your going to need a lot of chanels.lol

| That's quite a rudder arrangement! It should certainly handle well on the water.
Nice looking model boat.
