Fun & Different Boats

My current favourite FUN BOAT is 'Theodore Too'. Started life as a cartoon tug in a Canadian TV series set in Hamilton harbour. Spawned several RC models and then - lo and behold a full scale replica!! 😀 https://www.google.com/search?q=theodore+too&client=firefox-b-d&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=6MaJ2ndDrVK6DM%252CKDGIHDBOUHDBEM%252C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kSNYo75ZtNJEUWlb49ezv1kKeqzKQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjK5KazsoXwAhUz8LsIHQwDBlgQ9QF6BAgLEAE&biw=1920&bih=936 (I'm collecting bits and pieces for my version 😉) Cheers, Doug 😎 BTW: If you have half a million Canadian burning a hole in your pocket 🙄- https://www.rcinet.ca/en/2020/07/17/theodore-too-tugboat-is-for-sale/

Sea Commander

I fitted one 2mm brass rod to pass through the top of the front windscreen into the base of the front cabin roof. This worked well, so I repeated this to retain the removable central wheelhouse roof and the rear cabin roof too. The small bent ends gave me something to pull them back out with when I needed to remove any of the cabin tops, and they were small enough not to be conspicuous.

U.S.C.G. Waterways & Ports Patrol Boat

Just finished this model. Bought it sometime ago at Coatbridge Model Exhibition It was just an unfinished hull with fittings. The boat has twin motors, props, rudders and 2 old Hi Tech ESC with 2 battery pack at 7.2 volts using one at a time. Still to have it on the water yet due to lockdown. Has one of those home made controllers that when you turn the inner motor slows down and the outer one speeds up to aid turner tighter. Scale 1/12

The Anteo my very first ever steam powered tug.

My very first steam-boat back in the 70s, the Anteo by Panart probably the best kit ever, a plank on frame hull with lots of brass fittings. I fitted a Maxwell Hemmings Caton Steam plant and I was smitten, that was the first of many and still going strong. My only regret was somewhat butchering the engine housing in order to fit the valves and pipework. One of these days I might build another and make a much better job of it, hopefully. Check out my harbour for the rest of my small fleet of steam-powered working boats. The Anteo looking very realistic on the water, and the start of a love affair with steam and all it has to offer

Unknown 26" Pilot Boat

One of the latest projects I have bought, a 26" Pilot boat. Initially i thought maybe a Lesro model, but the Lesro Pilot boat is bigger, at just over 33" in length. Anyone got any ideas what make it may be?
