Viking Longship

Rostock Fisheries "Consul Pust" of the 1920's. A steam, double sided trawler. If they were still using ships like this, the Baltic fisheries might be in better shape than they are. 

It was a fine old vessel.
U-3. Type 2 U-Boot. 
This series was built prior to WWII by a Dutch and Finnish "Ghost" team under the direction of the German Government. Germany was denied the right to produce it's own submarines due to the fact that they lost the first world war. The Type 2 was not a great success. It was too small and cramped for wide ranging activities and was best confined to costal patrols. It was eventually assigned to training roles. I like the boat. It has a very shark-like charm about it.
Raubtier class Kriegsmarine torpedo boat "Wolf".
Another old tub gets my much diminished modeling time.
Kriegsmarine Raumeboote

A United Fruit Company boat. One of the first to have refrigeration.

Thornycroft Circa 1885.
This is a classic British, 1st class torpedo boat from the late nineteenth century. It's done up in a typical Tropical paint scheme. White hull, black antifouling paint and buff topsides. This particular boat was the TB42 which was sent out on Indian Government service. The plans I had, from an old Brasseys annual, were rather sketchy and some latitude has been used in the model.


60's Shelter Deck Dry Cargo 

Cutty Sark. The classic Tea Clipper.


Virtual Sailor and Micro Flight have an AI feature whereby aircraft, boats, fish, you name it, can be added or removed as required. It can add a lot to creating dynamic and lively scenarios. Here is a typical scene showing a group of naval vessels with aircover.

Aberdeen coaster "Anno". It's a fun little tub.

Marine Nationale Torpilleur a la Grande Vitesse "Corsaire".
This is a great old torpedo boat of the French Navy circa 1891.
The "Valeureux" 1929. This ship was built in Germany and sent to France as war reparation.

This is a great looking old tug.
The Graf Zeppelin.

The DeHaviland FHE "Flying 400". The Flying 400 was a proof of concept project arranged by the Government of Canada in 1960. This is ancient history by some peoples standards.
The contract called for a foil borne ship in the 200 tonne range,
capable of operating at a speed of 60 knots with full destroyer sonar. The ship flew on surface piercing foils. 

It is presently sitting with a doorway cut in it's hull and serving as a museum piece at a museum in Quebec. Check it out on the internet and read the "Fastest In The World" by John Boileau. Formac publishing.
