Started this one now so moved it from future projects to my boats. This is based on a 1/16 hull of a tyler boat companies 76 foot patrol boat that was moulded for vosper thornycroft in the 80's. The hull comes out at 58 inches long by 16 wide. The hull was moulded by tyler boat companies chief moulder who was a friend of my fathers, i have two of his hulls and they are superb. So the boat is based fairly loosely on a design for the Royal Omani police by BMT ship designers to be built by ares shipbuilding.
This is the full size vessel mine i have modified with a ramp launched rib on the stern. Have now got to the stage where the bridge is almost done, deck painted and painting hull. Made the 30mm cannon on the bow and have bought two machine guns for the bridge and a minigun for the rib. You can see from the photos that the rib is pretty much built now having had a waterjet fitted. The superstructure is about 90 percent there with full working lights, working radar, a rear facing flood light and blue lights and a siren. Another shot shows the radio gear with a servo mounting board with four servos with cams to control all the extra functions. I have also received a Linear Actuator for the stern door. A few photos of progress so far follow.
