Banckert (3)537 viewsThere isn't too much for you to do here to have a very nice model at a very reasonable cost. Or, of course, we could complete her for you.

Banckert (2)494 viewsAs you can see, she has been well built, and there is not much to do to complete her. It's basically the handrails funnel and mast. All the fittings are present.

Banckert(1)539 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.

Britannia hull467 viewsKing George V's racing yacht "Britannia" began life as a gaff cutter, was re-rigged six or seven times to keep her competitive through her long career, and ended up as a bermudan rigged J Boat. Throughout her distinguished career, she was very successful. This hull is four feet long, excellently moulded in GRP, comes with lead ballast, and is very attractively priced. You could use it as the basis for a lovely replica, or we could build it for you. SOLD

Coaster "John Masefield"526 views"Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smokestack, butting up the Channel in the mad March days...." If you don't know Masefield's "Cargoes", you should. This model came to us basically sound, but needing some tidying up, and a new mechanism fitting. We did this, then sold her on. Here she is, running trials. What can be nicer than a pretty scale model, on a fine sunny morning? SOLD

HMS Graph371 viewsHMS Graph began life as U-570. She was captured by the RN, taken into service, used for research, and carried out a few operational patrols, during which she carried out an attack on a sister ship, U-333.
The model came to me as a Robbe U-47, in reasonable condition. There was some light damage to the hydroplanes, and the decks were a bit scruffy, but the mechanism was really well built, which is important, as a submarine is one type of model you really do not want to suffer from mechanical or electrical failure. Over the months, I have tidied it up, and made a few improvements. For instance, Robbe’s original current-guzzling motors, which restrict the model in standard trim to a very short running time, have been replaced with low-drain units.
I have also been researching Graph’s appearance. The model will be fitted with a conning tower from Dreamworks, and other details will be altered to conform to Graph. She will be ready in 2008, tested, reliable, fully refurbished, complete with transmitter, just add water and go. If you wish to reserve her, get in touch now.

Gunter Sloop306 viewsThis one is going to be a really sweet little gunter-rigged sloop; a model of the sort of small cruising yacht, just a step up from a dayboat, that was around when I was a young man. With a bit of ingenuity, I should be able to get main, jib and lifting centreplate all to work off simple two-channel radio gear. Working this out is why I am building her. She will offer a really nice entry into scale sailing; light, small, easy to carry, but with a good performance on the water. She will be ready in 2008, tested, reliable, fully refurbished, complete with transmitter, just add water and go. If you wish to reserve her, get in touch now.

Pond yacht hull336 viewsThis hull will form the basis for a very attractive, sleek, pond yacht. She would be easy to build; or of course, we could build her for you. She is a little under four feet long, and very attractively priced.

Scottish Ringnetter (4)359 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.
SOLD

Scottish Ringnetter (1)359 viewsThis is a very pleasant model of a small fishing boat, made by a well-kown builder, and available now (June 2008) at a very reasonable price.
