Hello Dave Thank you. No plans as such got some on line used a bit of them and pictures so made my own. I am an x toolmaker only took 3 weeks about 120 hours ish, 2 days to sew & decorate the sails, a day to make the hull, the rest to make the bits,the hull is 1 meter long and is a fully working ship pulley blocks all work & sails lovely. I enjoyed the build. Next one Royal Sovereign a bit bigger when I get time, once again Thank you. Paul.

Hi, I've just noticed your RAF RTTL. Looks good. This coming winter I plan to build a RTTL from plans I have acquired. Overall length 5ft. I guess with your IC engine it moves pretty quickly, I'm going to have to stick with electric power as the sailing sites in the South West are all sail or electric only.
Happy sailing

This one here sits very low in the water but is a very good model a very detailed model.All the lights work of a ldr circuit but also you can turn off each light if you only want some on.

dusseldorf fireboat

built this one after the first one was stolen which has turned out for the better. Has working fire monitors,anchor,bow thruster,sounds,searchlight,lightsand a bloke on the back having a wee, which in turn acts as a bilge pump to tell me there is water in the boat

Wonderful hobby! I live 1800 miles from my Dad! Will be seeing him this week in Seattle, we're going to Tacoma for reference photos of the AlkI Fireboat, it's in dry dock on display, can finally capture the below water line details! Pop is "onboard" with the outing!
