This tug was made from a Tito NerI tug kit and modified to make it look more like one of the local tugs near my home, she is fitted with two azimuthing propellor units driven by 900 size motors and a bow thruster unit

She will be powered with an electric motor, and she is an R/C tug. She will have the maiden voyage this spring. Here she is seen under construction.

See forum and my harbour (CapnJim) for more details.
Just some footage of my weathered Model Slipways Puffer - now some years old but still cruisin'. Still appreciating the model and is one of my favourites. One day I'll build a puffer at 1/32nd. but for now this does very well.
Easy build but lots of opportunities to add detail. This has all the bells and whistles (well 'steam' whistle, smoke generator and puffer engine sound at least). Would fit in a briefcase but still able to stay afloat against the wash of bigger boats or blustery winds. Surprisingly, steers well when going astern. Speed with supplied motor about 2mph ' but this is faster than scale by a margin.

HI this was my winter project the hull was given to me by my son who got it at a car boot sale it had been on fire as it was driven by a petrol engine in now has twin brushless motors with 45mm props but going to put 50mm props on when they come as it needs a little bit more speed Built from a set of plans this my first go at this as I build from kits in the past cabins made out of 3mm/1.5m ply and some 1.5mm balsa wood . Hull was sprayed and the deck and cabins brushed with enamel paint.

I have bought it from Robbe in Germany. it is 7 years old and it is working very well. There are two brushed motor and navy ESC from Robbe. I use it to drive some lake and pool in my city.

Just nearly finished my sea queen and had one outing and it did all I wanted. Scale speed and very plesed with it. Standard motor and 12 volt battery. it was last winters project but only just finished. My 1st motor boat as my others are sail.

This model of the tourist attraction in Liverpool a few years ago.Sadly after a couple of mishaps all four have been withdrawn from service. The model however survives. it was scratch built from photos and site visits by myself (Max Ferrie).There were no plans available. it is about 28inches long and roughly 1/12 scale.It was built almost entirely from plywood. As you will see from video it operates on land and water. it is six wheel drive using differentials on all wheels. When in water it is prop drive. it has two small electric motors for power, the wheel drive being very low gearing (too low really it goes very slow on ground). it was completed in 2010, and is filmed sailing at the portable pond at Toys For Boys in Waterloo in 2010. it has sailed at Hoylake MBC also.
It is powered by two 6volt 4AH batteries in series to give 12volts.

Some updated photos of my Crash tender. Built from Kitshack kit. Close to maiden voyage now when I can test the twin brushless motors.

Bourbon Orca is an anchor handling vessel based in Bergen.
The owners and builders wouldn't let me have a set of lines, so, I designed this myself on Delftship from photos available on the web.

The hull is plank on frame, driven by twin 900 size motors off 12v. She has an action twin esc and mixer which enables her to pivot on her own axis without the need to use the bowthruster

Trawler built from a hull bought from a moulder in Newbiggin by the sea based on a trawler fishing out of Blyth harbour
it has a Graupner speed 700BB Turbo motor on a kort nozzle it is nearing completion I will post more pictures when it is finished

Built from a plastic hull given to me by a friend who bought it at a car boot sale the hull has been reinforced with fibreglass then like most kitShack
builds a box was made to hold the running gear it will be powered by a brushless airplane motor & 11.1v lipo battery
I will post more pictures as it progresses

This is the first sail of this boat its running two geared Como-Drill 2.5:1 motors and seems to be OK with it current setup.
