What I would suggest is, if you put any of your models in Salt Water, make SURE you wash them off with fresh water when you take your model(s) out. If salt water is left on, it really does make a mess of pretty much anything, especially metal.

p.s. Salt Water also leaves crystal's, which stick on, and make a mess-If the salt water isn't cleaned off with fresh.

Well, Jack, I don't even know if I'll have the chance to sail my RMS Canada in salt water (there's no way I'll be able to while in NYC next week).

I'll close down this topic for now...

[RMS Canada]

Why closing this topic about wonderful models now?

Alright, I'll keep it open.

[IRI5HJ4CK]

Why not make it a topic about model boats? I've got a lot of interesting picture's and things to show you lot

I've got plenty more of the RMS Canada.

[RMS Canada]

Could you post them here, please? 

I'll post some but not all as I have a lot.

[RMS Canada]

Well, post the best ones then!

It looks very Arts & Craftsy. Nice job! She looks like she is heavily based off of Titanic, correct?

[IRI5HJ4CK]

Say, RMS, What do you use as Ballasting?

Hibernia (My Tug) is weighed down by masses of Lead *COUGH COUGH Bluuwwwwww *dead on floor* , my old American Harbour tug has even more lead in it, one of the heaviest models in the club, as far as I'm aware! Thats why he sold it-too heavy for him (American Harbour Tug).

I'll have to weigh Hibernia again one day, I did weigh her, but whatever happened to the paper in which I wrote the numbers on-I'm not sure

Jack.

RMS Canada doesn't use ballasting.  She can stay stable.  She does have a keel.

Her design is based on the Titanic but also her sisters ships, Olympic and Britannic and Cunard's Lusitania and her other sister ships.

Hibernia Also has a Keel

My model tug is ballasted by it's electric motor & batttery + some other weighty things inside - gear, rudder & CPP drive device, of course...  But she was enough stable even without those things - remembered from testing her hull + superstructure.


Is it that a keel? 

Yes, you are correct.

That reminds me,

I need to get more pics of the S.S. Lake Muskoka due to the fact that the RMS Canada has been the spotlight.  I also need to get back to work on the MS Ontario due to my NYC trip.
