RNLI 14 metre (47') self righting lifeboat. 

 Scratch built at a scale of 1" = 1ft. (1:12) the model is powered with a 6v 7ah gel cell, she has digital proportional radio control for steering, fwd and rev speeds, water cooling for the twin electric drive motors, working Nav, Masthead, Searchlights, Claxon and motorized surface scan radar. The crewman on the bow has a fire hose connected to a car windshield washer pump that douses unsuspecting lakeside children, and the guy on the aft deck is animated and waves his cap at the damp spectators whilst the boat retreats to deeper water......... Fun for all the family ! 

RNLI crewmen

These guys have been 'surgically' altered from cast resin 'Babylon 5' figures found in a dollar store. Each is just under 6" tall. They have been dressed in scratch made oilskins and associated safety wear. 

San Francisco Municipal Railway, Powell & Mason Sts. Cable Car.

This project started as a result of a visit to the Cable Car museum in San Francisco, and our desire to immortalize one of these wonderful carriages. This example is in our personal collection, however, a very limited number will be made available for sale with custom livery and personalized advertising for discerning collectors.
