Ville Class Tugboat

RusselBrothers built 38 Ville Class tugs for the Royal Canadian Navy during WWII many of these vessels served on both the West and East coastal waters. After their service in the war many were sold for private enterprises. Sine the hull is basically the same size on all these 38 Ville tugs I built one hull and made three different wheelhouses to represent three different tugboats currently operating in different locations of Canada. Beamsville is owned and operated by Marcel Theriault working out of Tofino, B.C. Loganville is owned and operated by Pete Spencer working out of Port Dover, on Lake Erie, Ontario, Canada Miss Jenna is owned and operated by Kelley and Son working out of Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, Canada I have had the privilege of meeting all three owners, photographing each vessel and sailing aboard the Beamsville in the Tofino Harbour.

Skiff

The skiff is a build from the book Model Boat Building -The Spritsail Skiff- by Steve Rogers and Patricia Staby-Rogers. I added the bow sprit and other interior details not in the original version. The green canister in the center is the receiver (actually a plastic pill bottle) It rests securely in a round hole.

St.Pierre Dory

Design is from The Dory Book, John Gardner’s fine collection of dory’s from over the centuries. The dory is used in various locations around the world not just in the waters off St. Pierre Island south of Newfoundland. This model was built in the Spring of 2023 and has yet to have its first voyage which should be soon.

Barge "Memere"

This barge is a model of the one used by Marcel Theriualt, skipper of the Beamsville, Tofino, BC. The barge is named after his 99 year old grandmother.

Garfeld

Garfeld is an old Billings kit of the Dragen, but because the cartoon character is the skipper and is challenging the winds on the bow, it only seems fitting that it carries the name. I modified the kit, adding more ballast to the keel, enlarged the rudder, and changed the design of the deck structures. I gave it a sail and mast from a DF-65 and it sails very well.

Schooner - "The Show"

David Westergaard, designed and built "TheShow" in 2019 in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. When I saw it in a magazine, I went about contacting him to receive permission to make a Rc model of her. He gave me permission and sent a few photos of a half hull design he had done and the contact for the person who had made the plan line drawings. I built the model in the spring of 2022 and have enjoyed sailing it in light to moderate winds

Miss Katherine

Scratch built small tugboat seen in Mahone Bay,Nova Scotia, which has a chine steel sheet hull. Overall length was 48’ width 12’, single screw, crew of two. The original tugboat was named Enmore, built in 1959, on the shores of Lake Ontario, by Belmar Welding Company Ltd. It was destined to be a public works tug in Charlotte Town, PEI. Her current name is Miss Katherine

(Working Vessel) Progress J-502

Billing Boats kit, Progress J-502 vacuum formed hull, deck and cabin. Wheel house is very thin wood 2 ply. The kit was missing styrene strips, but the deck fittings were included. All brass rods, mahogany strips, rigging was in the kit. Added furniture in wheelhouse, navigation lights, windows, and railings and other details not found in the kit. Fun little boat to make and research. (7/10)

(Working Vessel) Villa Class Tugboat

3/4”=1’ Began building September 2020 finished the Spring 2021 when ballast testing and weights were added. The RusselBrothers of Owen Sound, Ontario build many varieties of vessels. The Loganville and Beamsville are both Ville Class tugboats. Built for the CDN Royal Navy and saw duty on both coasts on Canada and some were shipped over seas too. Read the history of the Loganville: http://russelbrothers.com/xloganville.html

(Yacht) Midwest Cranberry Isle

Recently purchased this boat built by Don Sutton, Scale Captain, Metro Modellers Toronto, Canada . Don built the boat about 15 years ago, but to make room for a larger new model he is selling older models. This style of Yacht has long been a favorite of mine which will be my winter scratch build project. Having this working model in my workshop will assist me with the project. (10/10)

Making Miss Jenna wheelhouse

After seeing the tugboat last month and taking a bunch of photos, I am now making a wheelhouse of Miss Jenna that will fit the Ville Class tugboat hull I use for the two other villes. By using one hull I can interchange the wheelhouse to represent a different tugboat. Miss Jenna has some features that the others do not such as the stanchions and cable secured to the bulwarks. Those could be added to the existing model too. Her mast has many work lights, more than just lights for navigation and towing. Yellow vessel is Loganville and red n white is the Beamsville.

30” Skiff

Bought this almost complete scratch built sprit sailing skiff for 50$. The person made every part following the instructions from a book. The model is 30” LOA with an 8” Beam. Came with mast, two rudders, one for display and one for sailing. Also two weighted hinged drop down centreboards, each a different weight. The builder had in mind to make it RC . It is white cedar and very light weight.

Emma Jr sailboat

This is a 26 1/2” version of the Gary Webb design from bearospaceindustry.com Gary’s Emma is a sprit rig double end sloop which has a world-wide following. I built my full size Emma from Gary’s plans. The Emma Jr is also based on those plans of the frames and hull. I made changes to the design by altering the access to the servos. Emma Jr could have remained the same as her big sister but I didn’t. Gary is being kept informed of the build and he often has made positive comments along the way. Emma Jr is being designed to be sailed in shallow city reflection pools with water depth between 5-6 inches. Her beam is 8”; mast 24”, main boom 12” and jib boom 4 1/2”. I am using the sprit rig as Emma Sr is using. Emma Senior seen here in blue Emma Jr is not painted yet

It only took a smouldering cigarette …

While touring the Museum of the Gaspe, they told us a near disaster caused by a cigarette smouldering in the trash. The fishing vessel displayed outside, caught fire, requiring structural frames be replaced and hull planks. The carpenters were able to take my IPhone and get photos up on deck for me. There was a nice model in the museum created by a local model builder. which the staff brought me a chair to stand on to take photos of the deck. The staff are superb! The museum includes a large research library is open to visitors. Most of the collection is in stacks beyond eyes of the public. I was able to see some materials relating to the WWII period of history that included the 5 forts and two naval bases.

HMCS Sackville post-WWII Canadian Research Vessel

Yes, it is a Revell kit like so many others who have built a Corvette, but this one involves no armour. During my research I found a book that it is not available in my library however, I could drive into Toronto and see the copy in the Toronto research library. I chose to try and contact the author. He kindly wrote me and has given me advice on this “kit-bashing” project. He told me the model represents the “Snowberry, which was one of ten built in Canada on British contract to British design, so the stern was not modified for minesweeping”, said Dr. Milner Sackville is different, I was told by Dr. Milner, that “if you are going to build Sackville you need to know that the stern of the Airfix kit is wrong for the first 54 Canadian built corvettes. These all had a wide “duck tail” stern to accommodate minesweeper gear — way too complex and problematic to kitbash. The deck clomber differed from ship to ship according to the practice of the yard, the program, and type of boiler — water tube, fire tube, pressurized boiler room etc…” I have been doing lots of research and have found some photos to assist me with this project. It requires changes to the “kit” and making parts that resemble the photos. I know there will be things that are missing plus that over the 20+ years, the ship went through several structural changes and refits. The photos show the two different stern images and how I modified the kit to create a “duck tail”. Other photos are of the revised superstructure for steerage. Noteworthy are the extended deck and addition of ladders/steps. Handrails will be added. RC conversion will be forthcoming.

Thanks to those who responded about Dean’s Kit

You may recall James May asked about having someone build his Dean’s kit of the HMS BRONNINGTON for his dad? I responded with questions about the kit and after consulting others with experience building them, it’s not one I could do. It requires someone who knows how to use photo etched parts. Another is James wanted to make an RC model, but this kit is only 18” in length and has a 3 3/8” beam which is very tight for a twin screw kit. Not for a novice, operator. Sorry but better to check out a kit before buying and then afterwards seeing your dream is more difficult than first thought. Ron

Miss Jenna located in Mahone Bay, N.S

Mike Kelly owns the Miss Jenna, a Russel Brothers Ville Class tugboat built for use by the RCN for duty on the East and West coasts of Canada. It has an approximate LOA of 40', beam 10' and interestingly virtually no keel. The drawings found, show a visible keel beginning about in the middle. A 4 1/2" width and about 1 3/4" depth, which becomes increasingly more moving aft. http://www.russelbrothers.ca/xlisterville.html Bill Froelich, Houston, Texas, built a fine 40" 1"=1' scale model seen here. Bill and I have been in contact and have shared various ideas.

Test Floats - Sea Trials

I took my three winter builds up the street to my neighbours pool. Tug Miss Katherine, Vosper, and Folk sailboat Ballast was good on all three. I had my Forward/Reverse power controls set-up opposite to what I prefer but those were just minor adjustments. Surprised that the Vosper requires a larger turning radius, though I did not give it much power in that small pool, especially on the first test out of the bathtub. Rather hard to take photos and control at the same time. I took a couple videos too but they did not turn out very well. It is a small outdoor pool, but for my first test float, it was perfect for me. No swimming was required!!

Italeri Vosper 72’6” MTB 77

Donnieboy gave me this kit several years ago to build with the grandsons. But, the boys are not able to come over to help grandpa. Plus, they really are not interested! Plan to make the conversion to a single brushed motor using an NiHM. Looking over the deck there needed to be a hatch opening with the least disturbance to the design. I chose the area as seen in the photos. Built a coaming, and a hatch cover which once the torpedoes are in place is hidden. I do not believe the raised deck will be very obvious.

The Nordic Folkboat

Scratch build is well underway. It began with seeing one in a cradle on the shore of Lake Geneva. I wish now more photos would have been taken, but Google is a big help as are magazines. Currently, working on the mounting and alignment of the rudder.

You said “ I consider myself something of a "dinosaur" builder and purest.”

What is a dinosaur builder? Laying down a keel cut from wood? Cutting frames and other parts of wood?
Then gluing with an appropriate wood glue which requires being clamped to male a good adhesion? Then walk away while it dries.

Actually Chris, the use of solar panels might be an excellent option for certain types of projects.

I was intrigued by the concept of solar panels harvesting from the sky but also from the light reflection off the water, as Hans talks about in the video.

The reason why I mentioned this topic is it intrigued me and am hoping to get some feedback from others. Which you have done, thank you for your response. I hope others will respond.

Keep a damp cloth close at hand to prevent the glue from penetrating the wood surface wherever you intend to apply a clear finish or stain.

This glue requires careful application, using a brush and lightly applied. Clean off excess glue with the damp cloth.

Some will say they use CA. I have a sensitivity to that type of glue. You can also use contact cement which is applied lightly on both the surfaces, though this glue will not allow much movement after contact with the surfaces.

Yes those lawn chairs, this is a private vessel conversion from a fishing vessel to a family’s “powered Yacht”.

The sketch is rather faint, but the owner sent it to me to illustrate a galley and the forward berth. He said the two tanks seen below the wheelhouse one was water and the other fuel.

I worked with Tinkercad this morning and couldn’t figure out how to get a less voltage battery. But, tonight I was viewing the series by Ben Finio Ohm’s Law/ Tinkercad Circuits Lab 3 in which he showed how to find, in the menu, other battery voltage sources. Plus, scrolling down you can use a power supply with 0-30volts variable it also has an indicator for the mA or current control.
