This is Antje, a nice little fishing cutter with the magnificent Odin in the background.

Another shot of Odin, this time with the U47 Sub from Robbe in the foreground - Notice the superbly detailed brass deck and conning tower.

Just received this pic from Peter Fitzpatrick (Our 'Around the Ports' contributor) - Modeldock refurb of his Tito Neri - Now the Hazelgarth in the Rea Towing Co livery.

The Challenger cutting a graceful figure on the water. This shot just prior to 'Full Throttle' - Shes pretty darn Quick!! 

Richard Branson's famous Atlantic Challenger from Graupner. This photo highlights the detail at the aft end of the boat showing the reversing pods, trim tabs and guard cage.

Atlantic Challenger with Moonraker and Parat 'moored' alongside.

Mega-Yacht Moonraker showing the fine aft detail and the excellent facilities offered on board for the crew. Double- glazed doors, spiral staircase, table & chairs for eight and a jet ski add superb detail to this very impressive subject from Graupner.

No bikini-clad beauties were to be found on the Moonraker so the captain drowned his sorrows in two crates of beer!!

Deck 'clutter' on the Parat. Oil and chemical drums, anchor & chain plus a buoy adds to the realism.

This is Odin, the large and impressive super tug from Robbe cutting an impressive bow wave.

This is 'daughter boat' Steppke. Wait to you see 'MUM' - The superb SAR emergency triple prop cruiser from Robbe appearing soon.

This is the very impressive 'Tito Neri' from Graupner.

The 'crowning glory' of  Tito Neri, the complicated but impressive mast array.

The very heavily detailed 'Yorkshireman' from Model Slipway, their excellent salvage tug.

This finely detailed superstructure of Yorkshireman  showing the aft deck crane was achieved after many hours of dedicated work but the results are worth it.

More fine detail on Yorkshireman of the aft deck and tow winch.

This is the 'Antje' from Robbe. A jaunty little fishing/shrimping cutter.

This is the completed model of 'Odin', queen of tugs from the superb Robbe range plus a couple of photos of her 'in-build'.

Basic hull & superstructure. Note clear plastic wheelhouse. Masks are applied for the windows and then sprayed giving a very clean finish.

Testing the lights on the work bench. The radar also rotates by way of a small geared motor installed in the radar housing - very neat!

This is the wheelhouse and very detailed net winch of the 'Antje', the superb fishing/shrimping cutter from Robbe. The wheelhouse received four coats of stain to achieve the rich deep look. The deck contrastingly was given three coats of bees wax, not only providing a good seal but a realistic appearance.
