As I am retired she only took about 10 months to build and is based on a "Models By Design" GRP hull. The rest of the model is scratch built. You can view her sea trials and more details on you tube.

Looks great 👍 Same scale as my Belfast and Graf Spee. Shame we can't re-enact the Battle of the River Plate! I live in Munich.
If you ever come to Bavaria .... Cheers, Doug 😎

U35... Finally done! 2 Months this one took! 3 Ballast Tanks Clockwork Timer for the compressed air system clockwork motor for the coaxial contra rotating tandem props. Maximum time on the bottom 1 hour. clockwork tinplate submarines are great fun!

Scratch built IOM; including sails. Had to have a go after seeing one that a club member built. Made mostly from cedar venetian blinds. Sails well, I'm just not too good racing it but occasionally get reasonable placing.

I guess this is a working vessel?? I wanted something for my TID to tow and after a bit of searching I found a plan for an old Ezi Bild Kit on line and got it enlarged and this is the result.
It takes about 15-20kg of ballast but it tows well.
Here are a couple of pictures one on its maiden "tow"

I remember when they used to race them! They had two men stood at the sharp end with huge sweeps to row them along near Tower Bridge. River men used to be a different breed.

As a lad I used to see this type of barge in use all the time which I why I wanted to make one.
There are a few still in use but no "Lightermen" to row them about anymore since the passing of the East End Docks

Wahine was a car passenger ferry of the Union Steamship Co. of New Zealand, and completed by Fairfields in 1966. She was lost in a major storm in the Cook Strait in 1968 with the death of 53 people. The model is substantially scratch-built with some fittings purchased. it is driven by two Graupner Speed 500 motors powered from two 6.6V 3200mAh LiFe batteries. it is fitted with twin stern and a single bow rudders, and bow and stern thrusters as on the original. The smoke effect is provided by a Steam Master Unit.
