Kist restoration...and my toys...
« on: October 06, 2012, 09:48:03 am »
Hi all,..some pics of my Kist,...that i mentioned a while back...i,ve started the restoration...and have now got all the varnish off and have sanded the wood..in preparation..for the waxing process...also in the pics you can see my 2 big boys toys...the Battleship is a 1/150 scale full RC Bismarck..67in long .i did not build this model,..it has 3 x electric motors,.I bought it like this...the other one is a German S80 Schnellboot...which again is full RC and it also has 3 x very powerful electric motors... i did not build this one either...but i did do all the painting and built and modified  the little crew members that i got with it...this model is 57in long...and it goes like shit off a shovel...
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

Those are quite the 'boys toys'!  They must take a bit of lugging to get them somewhere you have enough water to play in  ::)
