boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[Jim R]

You'll get there for sure Chris. You've put so much work, time, study and dare I say money into this. It's an amazing build.

Porton is two sites…..the Health (HPA and Porton Biopharma) side and the MOD (QinetiQ) side. It was split in the late 1970s. Trouble is, nobody seems to know about our bit, only the MOD part…..even news stories like the Novichok incident talked about the MOD but showed stock pictures of our bit…..

I visited there when I was a sales engineer, in the mid-80s but I can't remember which site, or who I had to see. It was something to do with proximity switches on control valves or flow plates.

Don't tell you much about them do they! Do you use one for each motor Chris, or does one ESC power all the motors?

Probably not us. I started in mid eighties and our kit was still fully manual. Didn’t get that sort of thing for another ten or fifteen years. Could have been the freeze drying area though?

Flippen eck Chris. Plain as day to see the problem there.
It's the doogamaflip that connects to the whatsit when its in parallel to the thingamabob.
If you can't see that!!!!! :rolling: :smiling2: :smiling2: :smiling2:


But seriously Chris - I wouldn't even know where to start even wiring one motor never mind four!! Onwards and upwards my friend, she will sail again, no pooping fuses and turn on a sixpence!! :thumb2:

The Ooojamaflip has been wrongly connected mate - not the doogamaflip! (Otherwise the Betamax would have a reverse 8-Track parallax inversion!) Simples!

Possibly not….it’s just a big box with a couple of pump and valve set ups….sort of like an autoclave in reverse…..
