KEVIN'S MODEL BOATS |
    |
These are some of the boats that I have made or in the process of being made.
You will have to excuse the look of this site at the moment its been are real rush to put it on the net but over the next few weeks I hope to have it looking more respectable, but when it comes to deciding what to do... work on the web page or build boats.. the web page has no chance lol.
The latest boat that I have built is the Koona a Yarra class tug boat that works in Newcastle harbour this model is 1 : 32 scale which I finished a couple of day ago 5 October 2003.
Just click on the picture to see more.

Well the Port Maquarie Model Boat Show has come and gone I don't now about anyone else but I really enjoyed it. There were a wide range of boats from the Period Boats, Current wooden boats and Fibreglass boats. I took along my Digital Camera and went crazy with it. Follow the link and see some of the boats that were there. Sorry but I only seem to have taken photo's of wooden boats.
