This was just finished by my brother after a four year build. He used plans from the original sternwheeler from Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. We grew up there so there is a connection. She is seven feet long and the hull is built entirely from popsicle sticks. She is bound for the museum in Whitehorse as a static display.

    Great work. A superb example of how a scale model gives viewers a 3D view of something that exists now only in 2D images.

    Brilliant 👍
    Love the detailing, and on such a mammoth scale as well!
    Popsicle sticks! You must have made a lot of children very happy👍😉
    I've heard of others getting all family and friends to 'collect' coffee stirring sticks ...
    Next model with zig million matchsticks perhaps ? 😉
    Shame we will never see her under way but a superb memorial to her and her crews. Cheers Doug 😎

The Robert
The Robert Broughty ferry lifeboat when it first appeared at the station (in Grey not Orange) Believe it or not I have never sailed her,only displayed I will put her on the water soon,the reason I chose grey as I do prefer the older lifeboats in grey as they have more character my opinion only,I have spoke to the owner of the real boat and he has said the only thing wrong is the flag pole , my is gold chrome not wooden (flag on front of hull) but when you get your transfers for nothing you don't worry.The real boat the Robert is in the Orkney islands at Kirkwall and you can go on trips on her

Lovely size model to transport about,sails very well on water,lots of interest from the public when I displayed it on the LBES stand at warwick,even the compare was shocked when talking about individual lifeboats,he said I cannot give you any information as I don't know who's boat it is and I will have to speak to the owner as I'm stumped(the crowd laughed)

Another crash tender
Built this in early 70's . I couldn't at that time afford rc or an engine so it was a display model until around 2000.
Now, one of 18...............I'm going to have to stop , or get a bigger house ......
