M.V.SISAPON
built by Juergen Wittstock.
I am living in Braunschweig/Germany and I build since over
50 years ship-model. I find the model kits of Deans Marine fantastically. In the years 2005 and 2006, I built the two models M.V. SISAPON and M.V.STOLT LIS TERKOL. Both ships are very beautiful. Each model I built approximately 8 months.

Here I send you some pictures of the trein Maersk I made last year.
The motor of this ship is the power 1000 from Robbe. The battery’s
For the motor are two 12 V 7 Ah, and there is also a 6 v battery for
The two thrusters. The containers are specially made.
Greetings from Fred van Erp
 Liberty Ship Jeremiah O'Brien.
I have modelled the ship on how the original is today when cruising the bay in San Francisco.
It carries 462 figures at present, and still requires another 250 or so to complete.
The model is powered by a Kestrel motor and belt drive.
It carries 3 six volt batteries (very heavy) one for propulsion and the other two for everything else ie. smoke generators in funnel and barbeque, lighting, JJC sound system, radar bar, movement of 5 inch gun on stern, all of which are R/C.

H.M.S Hardy/ H.M.S Keppel.
A modified kit of H.M.S. Hardy to make in to H.M.S Keppel on which I served from 1969-1971. The model is powered by a Torpedo 500 motor on a 6V Gel-Cell battery and handles very well, Like the real thing! As a newcomer to the hobby, This being my first attempt, I found the instruction manual and fittings to be first class.

These boats are are build for high seas,but there was never a moment of risk.
M.Y. Dufresne
build by Mr.D.Lawrence from New Zealand it looks like the real one.
Christian Brunnings (like the floating diorama.)
H.M.S. Solebay from Mr. Melvin Webber. Superb build model with action sound for the guns, Asdic and destroyer whistle. Powered by two Kondor Motors independent controlled by astec electronic speed controllers.
M.S. ARIADNE
Model built by Mr Alan Miller of Haverigg.
The model is based on the hull of the Manxman and uses Deans Marine fittings from the semi-kit of the Manxman.
An article about the construction of the model was published in R/C boat modeller magazine in Feb 1994.
The model is now on dislpey at the Child Beale trust in Pangborne.
The Imperial Transport model was built by Mr B Bateman of Barrow in Furness, Cumbria. Based on the semi-kit of the ship.
The model is fitted with a kestral motor driving a brass propellor through an Olympus Marine belt drive unit.
The power is supplied by 4 x 6volt 10 A.H sealed lead acid batteries fitted under the bridge.
A bow thruster powered by is own battery is fitted to the model to aid steering in competitions, but the model is surprisingly manoeuvrable for such a large ship. The model of the ship is based on her wartime period when she was painted light sea grey
S.S City of Ely.
This ship was built by Mr Bob Patey of the Wirrel Merseyside.
This was my first attempt at a model ship, and I chose the City of Ely as I served on her for some of my time at sea.
I have added some extra detail to the kit such as cover over the lifeboats and more rigging on the derricks all from memory and from a few pictures I have taken on board.
I an please that they got the split rudder correct on the model as not many people knew about this design feature on the full size ship.
I believe that an article I published in Sea Breezes about on of my trips on the Ely is now being in included in the instructions.
 CHRISTIAAN BRUNINGS.
Kit by Mr Ray Wade of Kings Lynn. Norfolk.
This model is powered by a Cheddar Pintail with a horizontal boiler.
I have since shortened the funnel so the top is lower on the inside of the outer funnel tube, This gives suction up the funnel to takes gas and fumes out of the model. I found that the boiler would go out if the ship was stopped in the lake for any length of time. I think this was due to a build up of steam in the model.
The steam plant can be removed for use in another model ( The Victoria and Albert). The model can then be powered by an electric motor on an Marine belt drive and 6 volt battery. The whole drive unit is mounted on a ply plate that drops onto the mounting bolts of the steam engine. A complete change tales less that 5 mins. I have won many steering events with this model and am always surprised by the handling of a big model such as this. The only changes I have made to the kit is the plank the wheel house with strip plastic and to add a set of working lights powered by a 3 volt battery.
Constructed by Mr Pierre Deburne of Paris.
The model has been converted to take a live steam plant as was the basis of a long article in the French model magazine R C marine.
By Mr D Wightman
The model is from your set of mouldings for the Alpha Beta and is constructed to represent the full size vessel that is moored in Chatham dockyard during the Navy Days. The model is powered by 2 x Metro blower motors running on 7.2 volt nicads with a full set of working lights plus a small tape recorder with assorted party music playing from inside. I have also fitted a small rotating coloured disc to one of the small lamps that casts moving shadows onto the curtains and this a dark evening looks very realistic with the party music playing. The boats is magic on the water with lots of power and id at her best in some really choppy water.
Based on our kit of the Julie M this nice little model was built by P Burgess (jnr) as his first model, and well proud of it he is as well. Powered by 6 volts nicads and a bobs board pb3 speed controller, main drive motor is a monoperm special raided from dads spares box.
Decks have been planked in obeche and the caulking is from black button thread.

To strengthen the stern ramp of Maersk Anglia, we glued a 0.2mm plastic strip on the flat side. The ramp can not be lost as a result of a collision. The propellors can operate independantly and the bow thruster is working too. She is extremely manoeuverable. here are some pictures of our Maersk Anglia in some relatively rough weather. When all the other models are still in port, we go out to shoot these pictures. This is the most fun sailing.
Christian Brunnings - While a challenge to build, the kit produced a beautiful model with classic lines and details I have been unable to find through any other dealer. The boat is electric, as the builder is still experimenting with steam, however future plans include conversion to steam power. With an electric power system, considerable ballast is required, which is no problem. The beauty of the Christian Brunnings is the reminiscent plumb-bob bow, substantial woodwork and unique vacu-formed canopy. I added a few extra details, such as crew members and miscellaneous fittings. Other than those, the boat is as designed and very pleasing to the eye.
Dittmar Koel - Most certainly my greatest modelling challenge to date, the Koel tested my patience and creativity, the quality of which prompted me to add some fine brass fittings, take greater pains to lay the deck planking from individual strips ordered separately and actually hand-build an enclosed motor launch for one of the large davits. I also felt the investment was warranted to add floor planking to the bridge and also to the ships boats. I make a pair of oars for the dinghy from walnut planking and added oarlocks. The model will probably never be complete as I have a myriad of plans to add bronze piping, crew figures, simulated electric wiring and working lights in the cabins.
I just thought you might like a picture of my Birthday present for your web site. The only quote I could come up with is; "Wahoo - Pocket Rocket" "A very nippy little boat, which is a pleasure to handle." Regards Mark Hawkins
Rix Harrier, Built by Alan Nicholson
The name and colour scheme are changed, but layout as the kit
Contains two 12v buler motors, with independant speed controllers from Fleet, also a 12v bow thruster, all running nicely off a 7.2v battery pack, Mr Nicholson has completed a number of regattas and has found her a very manoeuvrable vessel.
M.V. Timrix, Built by Derek Rolfe derek.rolfe@virgin.net
The details have been slightly modified, mainly the hatches, which will eventually have hydraulic operating gear modelled. Driven by a condor motor for realistic scale speed, working nav lights, 6v 4amp battery gives over 2 hours running time. The model is painted in the colours of Turnbull Scott Shipping and renamed Stonegate.
Ditmar-Koel ELBE, she took more than two years to complete, and now she was launched.
