I do not know of any clubs on LI but there is an informal group that gets together on Sunday usually at the pond next to Babylon Town hall in Lindenhurst on Sunrise Highway. Sometimes they meet at Lake Ronkonkoma.
I just found out about this group last weekend and the seem too be a bunch of nice guys. I hope to be there this Sunday.

Thanks again to all for the info on the LED's. Evans indeed looks a great source to have. I will be placing an order for the LED's for the caged fixtures I just ordered from Shapeways and also for running lights, search lights and towing lights.

Thanks Black Shoe and all the others that replied. The units from Shapeways seem to be ideal for what I want and may actually be better than the Graupner ones. Any idea were to get the bulbs you are referring to?
Your boat is outstanding and I only hope mine turns out half as well. 👍

Hi, I am looking for a package of Graupner caged bulbs/lamps part number 638. I need them to compete my 1/24 scale tug. Pictures of the construction and completed boat to follow.
I am on Long Island NY. Any one sailing around here?
Thanks, Len

Beautiful job. I'll say it was a little windy by just looking at the pendants blowing in the breeze.

All I can say is FANTASTIC. Congratulations on such grate workmanship and ideas. I appreciate all the work you have put into this project and the in depth detail in sharing this with us. Thank you.
I am new to this site and this is the first time I have seen your work and will be "borrowing" some of your ideas on a 1:24 tug I that I am building and is nearing the point of painting.

Just checked their web site and the pond is closed this year. I do not think there was any construction work done last year

thanks for the reply. The pond is closed this summer for reconstruction work so there is no boating. It looks like a great place and I defiantly need to join the activities when they get back to the pond.
