| Examples of models – various types. |
Ranger. (J Class)192 viewsThis was fully exploited by a brilliant design team, which included the experience of Starling Burgess and the rising talent of the young Olin Stephens. The set of lines you see here resulted. Some considered them unconventional, even ugly. To my eye, they are extremely beautiful, and speak of speed.

America234 viewsThe schooner "America" was built by a syndicate of new England yachtsmen as a business proposition, to collect some of the prize money available in yacht racing, and to win wagers. She succeeded handsomely. In 1851, she trounced the finest yachts sailing in British waters, in a race around the Isle of Wight. Queen Victoria was most ungracious about it. When told the American yacht had won, she grumped "very well, who is second?". She was not amused to be told "madam, there is no second".

HMS Victory195 viewsThe result is a quite stunning replica, which will grace your home, and is very likely to appreciate in value as the years go by.

Trawler (miniature)207 viewsWe built this pretty little display model of a deepwater trawler from scratch, for a member of the family which had owned her. She was sent to Hawaii as a present for a relative.
The client had to set a tight limit on budget, so we weren't able to go to town on the detail as we might have liked to. She is a pleasant little model, and if nothing else, she illustrates the variety of commissions which we are willing and able to undertake.

Scottish Ringnetter (4)471 viewsMore detail. Look at that detailed winch, and that lovely brass-barred skylight. This little model fairly oozes character. To my eye, she is a bit too clean for a fishing boat, but you can always say she is new from the yard.

Banckert(1)751 viewsThis is a well made example of Billings Boats "Banckert" tug. She is a pretty little model of a modern tug, about two feet long. She is 90% complete, and comes with radio gear, batteries, charger, etc. She is available now (June 2008) and comes at an exceptionally reasonable price, not far from the cost of the parts.
