Another Imara… I’ve seen the cheque go off to A Model World (!) It may well morph into the Perseverance though.

I ordered them from <a href="http://www.westbourne-model.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Westbourne Models</a> and I am really pleased with them. Just make sure you specify 4ba thread if you are using the supplied shafts. Please keep me upto speed with your build and let me have some photos for us all to admire. The original article was <a href="http://www.imarablog.org/?p=257" rel="nofollow">here</a>. Regards, Martin.

Hmm might have to change the subtitle to "Life on the edge for an odd job bloke".. About time I updated it if truth be told (the layout) still is good to waffle on about bits and bobs from time to time ;) So how you getting on then managed to get any further along? World of IT?

I bought my 'project' just over three years ago (almost 4!!) on a trip back to Blighty, I live in france, anyway after much heart ache and sweat I have got the beast tamed and about three quarters maybe more, finished. I had several problems with the hull decking some of the white metal features shaping the super structure etc etc . I made up things, as you do thru making this craft. I was not impressed with the decking as it looks tat to put it bluntly so I have made planking and re hashed the decking so it almost looks the part. I am at the moment fighting with the steam winch to the extent I may seek out an alternative. Again the white metal 'bits' supplied are krapp and after a lot of work I nearly achieved succes only to manage snapping a lump of the frame - grrrrr. The ships boats are not what was originally fitted so again after fighting with the mouldings I managed to get two boat looking objects which again will be 'self' styled. I have to admit this model has kept me busy and I have enjoyed many hours putting together ideas by using my engineering and inventive skills getting something that might look like the original, I hope to have 'the beast in the water this summer, if I can source a pair of electric motors. A couple of questions. I don't want to use the props supplied so what size is a suitable replacement and has anyone got/found a replacement steam winch for the anchor winch? bon chance Imara nutters!! Fred Hi nice to find few other ‘nutters’ who took on the Imara build.
