Trying to fit optic cables for the three lights at the top of main mast🙈

How to drill hole for the fiber optic? And where to buy?. Nicely done every step you show us 🙂

Nice progress, what type of paint and color have you used on the hull.

The glass shard

I don't know this technic, any link or instruction?  I think your propeller locks realistic, nice done 🙂 

Anchor in correct location. The drawing from billing boat is not in scale. and the hight of the railing strip item 28,a,f is 3cm lower at the ends (items 254) = 2mm on the model 🙂  

The strip between railing and deck have a similar shape. Get narrower from middle part to both ends

just back from work. I was lucky to visit RS1 last week. Vil find a solution to place photo and video available on net. Nice work

Hi Andreas, just want to let you know that I asked Tor Erling Gransæther (yesterday evening) for colour codes for the interior of th RS1. He has posted new interior photos on the CA gallery. I might try to add some interior detail if I can hide the R/C gear under the benches and in the lockers etc. I think the Rx and Rx battery may go into the 'heads' compartment OK. The ESC will probably go into one of the STBD lockers. and maybe I can hide the drive battery under a false floor - or below the galley table!

The green is NCS 1050-G10Y. the trim colour is black. The cabin deck (dørk) is oak plank. 

 

Have a good summer!

 

George

Thanks a lot. My work take all my time 🙂 But i charged my camera with a new lens and fresh batteries. Will visit the boat nekt time in Oslo. have tried, but the boat was in different location this summer. My son moved to Oslo just now. Will start this winter again 🙂 

I will start a bit later, have to visit the RS1, take some pictures of deck and equipment next week hopfully.

My boat i think will be ready summer 2022. Will need some photos next summer of rig and mast. Have discovered that upper part of main mast is a bit fwd. se my pictures from the book. RS1.

that's right Carsten, if it help other Colin Archer builders. I made this thread to help other builder and get som tips or answer then needed 🙂 

For me its okay with other posting George as long its about the Colin Archer 1:15 builds, details, adds and so on. I have newer done anything with it color  🙂 just out of the box. perhaps its will be shine or painted. that's the last work i will do on the boat.  Will be lovely to start again. my problem is to many details i want to put in. Need lights in cabin and mast 🙂 

Brgds Andreas

I start building closer to the winter, still 17 C in the sea. And flying RC aircrafts 🙂 

I will try to get som photos of the RS 1. Need to travel 2h, hopefully it will show the color of the original hul and deck. and some nice details. My boat, i think it's to glossy. Back on track later 🙂

Hello again Andreas, I hope your CA RS1 build is still progressing. I have been looking at my 414 kit in the cellar store room (kjellerbod!). I see that my kit has TWO complete sheets of shaped 1mm ply for the deck. I think this must be a mistake? Can you remember if your kit had 2 complete shaped ply sheets for the deck? I think the part number is '18' .  

Regards, George

Thats right, only 1 sheet in my kit.  Just bought some parts for a smaler Colin Archer, my fathers old model boat from the 50th´s need new rig and some sail. hopfully it fit, and we make it together then winter is coming 🙂

My goodness, details, will you add some water in buckets  🙂 looks lovely

Thanks for info Carsten, will check it out. KrisWood i use Penol Express and some titebond 3. Last deck plank glued. Time for sanding, Stabilit express used for wood to plastic glueing. 

Thanks Popeye 🙂 

Only 2 small sticks left, and the deck need some sanding and stain. I'm going to make some test attempts with varnish on some small sample pieces.

I think its smart to finish the deck before housing and equipments is glued on 🙂 

Hi George. I want to make the dinghy, hopefully.  Will make som research later. I think my cousin have some drawings. have to ask him 🙂

Hi Sundt.

I am just building the RS-1 from a similar old Billing kit myself. In these corona times progress is picking up, but have generally been slow , started in Nov. 18

Status now is finished hull, remote control, deck houses/hatches, masts and booms. We could perhaps exhange experiences if convenient. I supply a link to a ppt building log you can look at if interested:

Thanks a lot Carsten 🙂 you are close to me in Sandefjord. Lovely pictures, hopefully next summer we can sail together. Just now i am making my hobby room better for building boat and model airplanes. Need to store som model airplanes too 😉 be able to glue my boat, repair and maintenance of aircrafts after hard landings 🙂  perhaps we meet soon. 

 Where did you buy the black scalpel? are they better, sharper? And your boat built is incredible. just, wow :-)

The access hatch is finished, all planks glued on middel part of boat. I adjusted the hatch plywood to match the planks glued on, see pictures with pencil pointing on cap. I will try to add some rubber later for waterproofing?

Only 8,33 planks both side of hatch left 😉
