Modelled on a local Dungeness boat.

This is a Lochin 33 mould. Based on Stumark3 which worked from Dungeness in Kent. I have built this from one photo and my memories of the boat which are from over 30 years ago! I have also spoken to the skippers two sons about the boat too. The hull was gifted to me by an employee of Lochins in the 80βs.

Built from a fibre glass Hull I bought as part of a bundle on eBay. Made her into a steel beamer typical of the south coast.

(Working Vessel) Winch for Emily P II
Scaled at 1:12
Made of PVA board, plastic water pipe and wooden skewers! The end blocks were made from a steel rod which I turned on the metal lathe. Tried hard to get the large end nut detail. Need to add the warps once I have made the rope rusty looking! (5/10)

(Working Vessel) Our Tru
I made this boat when I was 16. My Dad brought two pieces of wood home from the sawmill that he worked at that he had shaped roughly.
I added the keel, bildges and shaped the hull.
Wheelhouse is made of card and this is the current one ( I think there has been 4 different designs!).
Gantry is made of brass.
No power, she sails on the wind!
Pulled back to shore by a line!
Based on one or two of the inshore beach boats at Dungeness in Kent at the time.
Pictures here are from two years ago when I dusted her off, put the flags on and reminisced! (7/10)

(Working Vessel) Wheelhouse for Emily P II
I ordered a Cygnus wheelhouse from Models by Design. Windows and door cut out.
I have constructed the interior out of 2.5mm PVA board which I will paint to replicate wood. I will be adding a sink and a small cooker to the galley on the aft wall. I have cut the cooker area out but still have to cut the sink. (5/10)

Purchased this hull from Prelived for Β£35 and intend to create a fishing boat capable of trawling and netting.
Scale will be 1:12
The black plastic is 2.5mm thick and has been used to give the gunnels some depth. There will be a layer of fibre glass applied.
Updates as the build continues... (Motor: Torpedo 500) (6/10)

Lochin 33 half models
I have been asked by a skipper in Newquay to make another model of his boat. This time though he wants two half models to put on the wall either side of his booking office.
The hull has been made and sent to me for fitting out. This needs to be solid and weatherproof!

Lochin 33 fishing boat
This is a build completed from one photo I took some 35 years ago and my memories of the boat.
It is a Lochin 33 (commercial build up) worked the coastline around Dungeness in Kent.
The hull was gifted to me by an ex employee of Lochin who also gave me a lot of history about the business.
This is 12th scale

Gemini G10 Catamaran fishing boat
My next project has been a request from a local fisherman who after seeing my other models has asked me to make one of his. My father put the engines in the boat when it was first built. Julie Jean works from the beach at Dungeness. I am going to make the hulls from scratch as I can not find a catamaran hull with the right hull shape. This will be made from board and then coated in glass and resin. Scale will be metric 5cm - 1 m so total length will be 50cm..some photos here of the boat

So this will be a Cygnus SF 33. Itβs a modelsbydesign hull 12th scale. I have a set of plans of a GM33 that my dad fitted out many years ago (now in Scarborough - CJ Lewis).
This will be a trawler.

Emily P III
This is another scratch build fishing boat.
The hull is a models by design Cygnus GM33. 16th scale.
This one will be a pure trawler. I am going for an aft wheelhouse this time!
The prop shaft and rudder have been purchased but all other running gear will be shared with Emily P III.
Packaging will always be different.... After working for big retailers for 30 years I know what the deal is! Either way, we are in agreement Poundland glue is well worth the value! As are the mini clamps the craft knives and the new range of paint and varnish - the yacht varnish is very good!
As with many things in this world you may find that Poundland bond together (which I also use) is actually a well known brand that has been packaged for them. I mean letβs face it Aldi And Lidil do the same - Belgium beer in Lidil comes from the same production lines as the M&S version and many of the biscuits in Aldi are from the same manufactures as other supermarkets. I agree with R&D but production line limits allow the likes of Poundland and others to take spare capacity... I donβt agree with the Turkish delight though, mind you I donβt like any variant of it!!π€£
The half boats are now finished and off to Newquay where a local business βPaddlefish Adventuresβ will be using them on their booking office. The detail is minimal because of the nature of their use.
Itβs a first! The skipper has already had a complete boat from me but these two are to be fixed to the outside of his booking office to highlight the business to tourists. Itβs nicer than a normal sign!
Well since my last update Iβve been busy! The boats are now attached to the back boards using silicone and some screws (just in case)! Iβve used a PVC paint to coat the decks and cabin which is great as it has created a rubber waterproof seal. The detail has been added to the cabin and the railings have been made using white metal rod. Iβm happy with the symmetry, close enough and will never be next to each other so itβs not imperative that they are perfect!
I have made the decks and have used plastic boards for this. Using export I have glued a baton onto the wall side of the model which will screw onto a backboard. The foredeck has been stuck to the cabin which has been made out of a block of wood. Again this will be screwed to the backboard.
I have been asked by a skipper in Newquay to make another model of his boat. This time though he wants two half models to put on the wall either side of his booking office. The hull has been made and sent to me for fitting out. This needs to be solid and weatherproof!
I have installed motors and ex unit but had a lot of trouble getting it to work properly so have put her to the side for now! Quite hard because itβs small and thereβs a lot of bits inside. She does sit well In the water though
This is a Lochin 33 mould. Based on Stumark3 which worked from Dungeness in Kent. I have built this from one photo and my memories of the boat which are from over 30 years ago! I have also spoken to the skippers two sons about the boat too. The hull was gifted to me by an employee of Lochins in the 80βs.
Yes he did, I am just about to do another one for him. Maybe that should be two - this time itβs two half models so he can put them on the sides of his booking office. He has sent me the hull which has been cut in half. Photo here back together (held with tape) to get the lines right in both halves!

Missed a few updates as I have been completing a new project. So hereβs the final model, more detail to follow but for now itβs on the back burner! A Lochin 33 is currently on the bench being completed for a man in Cornwall
Not sure about mass! Would be happy with one, two would be brilliant as I have someone who wants me to make a copy of their boat and three plus would be a bonus!
