Hi Doug, yes, our WA team has at least 3 subs: All 3 are Nuclear Subs - HMS Triumph S93, HMS Talent S92, USS Scorpion 589.

@@rongrim Awesome ,thanks again

Hi Paul, I think Bob has been working on this all year, maybe longer, this was the official first 'tank test' discovering only one minor leak on one of the propeller shafts.

G'day again Paul. Bob's responses when I asked him some questions . . . I've been working on the Rodney for a bit over 2 1/2 years. There was a fair bit of that time I didn't work on the model due to a lot of things including, a new granddaughter. the bosses' orders and health problems. The model is about 2/3rds finish. There are range finders, more guns, cranes, ship boats............etc. The sound system is ready to be installed. I have the usually sounds, big guns, action stations. the music, Life on the Ocean Waves with Rule Britana at the end. Unfortunately, no IED lights in the barrels. Model Sounds forgot to install the sound and now they have closed the company down. At this rate of production, it may be another year to be completed.

G'day Douglas, yes a few of our Perth members have submarines: HMS Triumph, HMS Talent, USS Scorpion. I'm unaware of any of our members playing World of Warships.

@@rongrim ok thanks for ya reply mate ,luv ya RC Ships

Thanks Paul, on again Next Sunday 7th July. Ships will also be on static display 3 & 4 August at WASMEX held at Cannington, a bit closer to you.

Hi Paul, Sunday fortnight might suit you. It's the Sunday in the WA Day/Foundation Day long weekend.

I cannot understand this.

G'day Fred, Sorry to hear you haven't had a sail day recently. I don't think we even went into a lockdown here in Perth, Western Australia. Have you considered migrating? You would need to be able to withstand summer temperatures of 45 deg C (113 F). We have another sail day planned for this Sunday (7 April), with the guys congregating for a barbecue breakfast by the lake at 07:30 I personally do not have any vessels to sail, I joined the club to expand my video recording and editing, and to simply enjoy the tranquility of the lake on a Sunday morning. Cheers for now, Ron

G'day Bill, none of my doing, I don't know your page. I upload all my videos to KZbin, then send a link to my fellow club members.

pointless

G'day David, the Missouri, Charybdis and Anzac ships are all 1:72 scale, hence the club's name Task Force 72, unsure about the HSV-2 Swift scale. Cheers, Ron

@@rongrim Thankyou so much Ron .👍

G'day Brian, Bob, the owner of the Missouri, also has the Yamato, the Bismarck and is currently building the HMS Rodney. However, these ships are dwarfed by Peter P's USS Constellation aircraft carrier which measures at 4.6 metres at our 1:72 scale.Cheers.

One of our members has a 1:72 scale model of the USS Constellation aircraft carrier. At that scale, it is still 4.6 metres length in the water. I'm looking forward to the day he sails her again, it's been two or more years since last sighted. Big is BEST!

Thanks Haig, It is a nuisance, we can only sail on the western side of the lake due to access, so we're looking into the sun every sail day. I'll see if the filter is available for my cameras. Cheers.

Thank you Frederic.

The subs do not dive to any depth, they just go out of sight below the water. The radio receiver antenna generally stays above water level. Radio contact would be lost if they went too deep, and you would not be able to signal the sub to resurface. Lost sub. Lost thousands of dollars.

@@rong7768 Thank you for responding so quickly. I appreciate your letting me know how it was accomplished. I will have to look closer as I didn't notice the antenna.

Things have been made easier these days with 3D Printers.

@@rong7768 I'm in my 60's and struggle with 2D crayons! LOL. Actually, my hands have gotten a bit shaky and they prevent me from doing any detailed work.

@@rickkephartactual7706 I'm in my 70's and have never glued two pieces of paper together. I leave the model-making to the guys in the club, my hobby is video and editing production. I love filming the boats because they travel at a sedate speed and are relaxing to watch.

@@rong7768 I understand and agree. I don't care for watching an outstanding model built to scale meticulously and then they put a motor in it that allows it to fly along at speeds that would be unattainable for the actual ship. If I knew someplace close to where I live I would go to watch them too but the best places seem to either Australia or Europe, not too much like that here in the US.

Thanks Foz
