Note: The model data and photos on this page are in no particular order other than the sequence in which they were taken.
Submitting information: In order for your boat to be listed I will need to have two photos: 1/4 off the bow, and 1/4 off the stern, no particular side as long as both sides are shown. The photos should be taken with the camera about a foot or so above the water. They should be cropped so the boat fills the photo left to right. The finished/cropped resolution must be 590px Wide by 443px High. Higher resolution photos can be submitted and Lew will do the resizing, bightness and contrast, and cropping to fit the frames. Lew can take the photos at one of the meets. Use one of the models below as an example for submitting the text information.

Model Name: "Elena" ("H-103" Type:
Private fishing trawler (British, early to mid 1950's style)
Builder: Lew Z. Owner: Lew Z.
Scale: 1/20 Size: 10 inches wide X 33 inches long
Kit: Modified Artesania Latina "Helen" - ABS hull (long out of production)
Accessories and additional Functions: Working lights
Comments: I would have never considered a trawler but I got this partially built kit as part of a package deal. I had to redo almost all that was done (not too much) and add a lot of details (nets, fish, crew, mast details &rigging, and a lot of "deck clutter"). This "double ender" is a fun boat to operate and watch. The nets will cause the boat to lean in a strong wind but it keeps going.

The magnets in the tow knees can pickup the barge (next) remotely in the water. Has "towed" (pushed) a combined weight of 190 pounds with ease.

Kit: Dumas trawler "Rusty" (modified)
