On the Water
The craft is relatively easy to control: the curve of the hull, with its
fluid lines show its excellent nautical heritage.
If you would like to view some video footage concerning this
model, simply go to the YouTube website (www.youtube.com) and
use the keyword ‘rcmpiersoneb’. These shots, although very poor,
give an idea how this pilot cutter looks on the water.http://www.marinemodelmagazine.com APRIL 201545

Roland Pierson has constructed a very beautiful model which
often attracts attention due to the care taken in its detail. It has
exceptional quality of construction and a finish worthy of a model in
‘class C’.
Inspired by this new experience, our designer began work on
another model, using the Graupner hull of the tug Glasgow to build
a paddle steamer of the same period as the Chimaera. In view of
the construction of the first components formed in aluminium and
pearwood, I am confident it will be another masterpiece. Watch this
