This is a static display. I received her very damaged with old lighting etc. I spent almost 100 hours repairing her.

Also from my friend... I will ad more photos when she arrives.

Beautifully built by a friend who cannot build anymore. I am honoured to have her. Working fire monitor and nav lights, etc.

Modeled after the 1902, 114' steam powered purse seiner the Helen Euphane, a US east coast fisherman after bunker (or mengaden, pogy, shad, alewife)

This is the Sterling Model kit of the 1950 Chris Craft Catalina.

Picked this one up from an estate sale. Builder did a quality job. She is fully set up with electronics. I will save the electric for winter work. Stored for years in a smokers room. a lot of cleaning. Windex works great.

My Christmas present from my wife. I purchased this from Karl in the UK and he shipped it to me in British Columbia Canada. Cleaned her up a bit. I have done some touch ups on her since I took these pics. She is twin screw powered by Graupner twin 600's. She has bow thuster. Specification Model Length approx. 925 mm Beam approx. 250 mm All-up weight inc. RC approx. 4.6 kg Empty weight approx. 2.3 kg Scale 1:20

Originally built as a packer she also ran as a long liner. As you can see, she is convertible to a pleasure yacht as well.

Staying home...allows for great progress....

The all-aluminum vessel was built at Erie, Pennsylvania in 1961 in the Paasch Marine Services yards for the Caltex Oil Co. She sailed between Malaysia and Sumatra for several years. The Lumba Lumba gained her name from the Malay for " Over the Waves". At that time she was known as Caltex Lumba Lumba, she is 75 feet long with a beam of 18 feet and a draft of five feet. She is powered by twin diesels with 1650 h.p. The sleek vessel has a speed of 18 knots. The vessel has accommodation for 30 passengers in aircraft type accommodation. When she came back to North America the vessel was transported as deck cargo aboard the Martha Bakke to Vancouver She was then lifted into the water and docked at Vancouver Shipyards Ltd., for an extensive refit then will deliver the Lumba Lumba to Prince Rupert. I lived in Prince Rupert and traveled on this vessel a couple of times as a teenager. I have added some photos of what she looked like back in 2014. She has been scrapped as far as I know now. This is the Sterling Models kit from the 60's Have done restoration to her electronics and structure including paint, sound module and ESC plus new running lights.

I have these. One is for the Fleetline Boat in my harbour. made in japan in the 50's electric and very realistic

In 1961, you could get a 27" Wen-Mac Texaco Tanker ship for $3.98 with an eight gallon fill up at your local Texaco station. I have video of myself and two brohers as kids on the lake. We each had one.

8' long......I saw this boat online about 8-10 years ago from an estate of an elderly man who was amazingly talented and built this Chris Craft Catalina. Note the fellows finger pointing at her engine.He was 93 years old and left us in 2009. His name was Tony and he started in 1958 was competed about 1959. He made all the metal work ,engine running gear. Exact scale model, All brightwork hand made and plated, working doors, sliding windows, All lights work, Evinrude 3HP outboard powerhead customized to fit in the boat, custom made twin counter rotating gear box, dual wet exhaust, full trailer to haul it around. All of the trim around the cabin and the rub rail is polished stainless and screwed on to the boat. The gauges can be read...Clearly. You reach in the side window and pull a lever to release the cabin. The blinds even work and were scratchbuilt. Redcraft in CA made all the brightwork and converted the engine. But the story goes that the two of these guys just decided to build the ultimate model boat. It won every contest ever entered. It was disqualified once for not having a scale powerplant.....So they made a working scale chris craft V-8 for it OMG! Red said that the owners son still had the V-8. Chris Craft themselves offered a huge amount of money for the boat at one time but the builder turned them down. Red has the letter from them that has the offer. All this info was from 2009.

Built by my brother over four years from 2000 popsicle sticks. We took it up to Whitehorse Yukon (where we grew up) and donated her to the Transportation Museum

Fleetline Marlin with choice of three K&O electric outboards

Fleetline boats with electric motors and running lights Have original boxes as well

Picked this up at an estate sale. I am starting a remodel of her adding bling etc. Will post final when complete.

I aquired this model in rough shape from a fellow in New Jersey. I Repaired rails, seats, stantions and added the extra trim and jewelry to make her complete. This was a model built by Captains Models in Oregon USA. Very few were buiklts and are complete fiberglass with running lights etc. Note the anchor.

I finally got around to finishing her. I did not keep the original interior as there were to many layers. Hope you like.
