You'll be very glad to hear i guess that this is the last lot!!! i bunched em all up together, the first one is a "Billings" wood kit of the famous old clipper "cutty sark" i originally made the quayside dio ya see there but a while back i dumped all that and now the ship sits on a simple cradle display stand on the fish tank, rigging this bugga took longer than building the ship, this was my first "model" when i got back into ships, this was about 20 years ago
the second is the acadamy/minicraft Titanic, it used to sit over the fire place but a flat screen telly sits there now so it confined to the bedroom,

these are the radio controlled boats that actually sailed, the first was my first attempt at an r/c biuld, total scratchbuild apart from the hull which was a torpedo launch hull, altered to a round stern, it's supposed to ba a ocean research ship and based on nothing at all, sailed well tho lights etc were on r/c, friend of mine bought it
