Diana, the second built
in the Artois class was
designed by Sir John
Henslow. She was built by
Randall & Brent of
Rotherhithe, one of the
largest merchant builders
in the country. After
eleven months building
the hull, Diana was
launched on the 3rd of
March 1794. She was then
towed to the Royal
Dockyard at Deptford
where she was fitted out.
This included masts,
rigging, anchors,
coppering of her bottom,
ordnance and stores. On
the 12th of June 1794
Diana was ready to
receive her full crew and
spent the next 6 1/2
weeks working up at the
Nore. The total cost of
building and fitting out
the Diana was £23, 000.
Diana had a very long and
active career in which
most of her time was
spent in patrol, convoy
and blockade duties. The
highlight of her career
was in August 1795 when
on patrol duty
accompanied by her sister
ship Seahorse and the
frigate Unicorn, they
captured the Dutch East
Indiaman Cromhout,
another merchant ship and
her escort. From the
Cromhout alone the ship
shared nearly £47, 000
prize money. On the 30th
of May 1814 Britain and
France signed a peace
treaty. On the 7th of
March 1815 after a large
repair and re-coppering
Diana was sold to the
Dutch Navy for £36, 796.
On the 27th August 1816
Diana was one of 6
Frigates in the Dutch
squadron that combined
with the British fleet
under Sir Edward Pellow
(Lord Exmouth), himself
a distinguished Frigate
captain, and took part
in the famous bombardment
of Algiers. On the 16th
of January 1839, after
an incredible 45 year
service, Diana was
accidentally destroyed by
fire in dry-dock at
Willemsoord. The model
kit of Diana is depicted
not as built, but after
her first refit at
Portsmouth in June 1796
where she was given solid
quarter deck bulwarks,
carronades to replace the
9lb carriage guns and a
dolphin striker on the
bowsprit. Diana measured
173ft from figurehead to
stern, her breadth was
39ft 3 1/2” and was
almost 1000 tons burthen.
Main armament was twenty
eight 18lb carriage guns
on the gun deck, with
secondary armament
consisting of ten 9lb
guns on the top deck
along with eight 32lb
carronades. There is no
doubt that this
configuration constantly
changed throughout her
career and at the end of
her time in the British
Navy she had fourteen
carronades on her top
deck. Maufacturer:

Dos Amigos was a slaver,
one of the famous early
19th century Baltimore
clippers. She was
low-slung and fast,
double-masted, small and
agile, painted black to
make it easier to hide
herself off the African
coast after slaving had
been abolished. Her hull
was modified, with space
below decks to bring the
slaves from Africa to
Cuba for the sugar
plantations. Her last
voyage as a slaver was in
1830, sailing out of the
port of Havana on 13th
July, with a crew of 34
and armed with a single
carronade, 16 rifles and
15 pistols. She was
captured by the British
brig HMS Black Joke,
with 567 African captives
aboard. She was then put
up for auction and
purchased by the
Commodore of the British
Anti-Slavery Squadron,
Jonathan Hayes, who
converted into an
interception ship and
named her Fair Rosamond.
She patrolled the seas
around Cuba until she was
withdrawn from service in
1843.Scale: 1:53Length:

This galleon is a direct

large, distinguished
galleons, originally
Mediterranean based but
later sailing the

galleon was first given
to a type of ship from
Liguria, built at the
start of the 16th
century. Initially
designed as merchantmen,
they were heavily armed
for defence against
pirates and other
enemies, but ended up
becoming men of war after
1570. Although the
galleons reached their
greatest splendour when
they plied the Atlantic,
(the height of their
development), they were
the result of accumulated
experiences on the
European Atlantic front,
and their experiences as
merchantmen in the

Once you’ve built a few
models, you’ll
probably find the sets in
this category well within
reach. Some of the more
detailed work on these
models, however, is
left up to you. Even
though this boat is known
as a “Monterey, ” the
design of this craft
originated in San
Francisco Bay,
California, (90 miles
from Monterey). This boat
was built at
Fisherman’s Wharf in
San Francisco and was
given the nickname
“Monterey”. The
immigrant Italian or
Sicilian craftsman in San
Francisco Bay, patterned
the “Monterey” after
the Mediterranean Lateen
Sail Felucca, with
modifications to accept a
gas engine, so this is a
true California, USA
creation! These boats
were “built by eye, ”
no plans used, the
craftsmen simply started
with a general double
ended design, with an
ample beam, clipper bow,
and built the remainder
by eye. So, “All
“Montereys” are
alike, but no two are
the same.” This 1928
version owned by Angelo
Ghio, has all the
characteristics of a true
“Monterey, ” as he
chose the style of house;
stem curvature etc. that
he preferred. Several
thousand of these boats
were built from 1910 to
1950, they proved to be
very sturdy (cedar
planking) and reliable
with much beauty for a
work boat! A few are
still in use, the
“Monterey” boat is in
its 77th year, (its 9th
owner).

Once you’ve built a few

detailed work on these
models, however, is
left up to you. 1850 - On
the urging of the New
York Yacht Club to build
a fast sailing boat,
George Steers creates
plans for the AmericA.
The low black schooner is
designed using the
reversal of the
"cod-head-and-mackerel-tail
style." 1851 -
Answering a challenge
from the Royal Yacht
Squadron, the schooner
AmericA enters the
Hundred Guinea Cup race,
a 53-mile race around the
Isle of Wight. It easily
defeats the 14 British
ships and is awarded the
Hundred Guinea Cup. On
August 25, Queen
Victoria herself visits
the ship. AmericA returns
home and presents the New
York Yacht Club with its
prize, which is renamed
America’s Cup. 1863 -
For the next 12 years,
the AmericA had a number
of owners on both sides
of the Atlantic. In 1863,
the schooner returns to
Newport, Rhode Island to
serve as a training ship
for the United States
Naval Academy. 1870 - The
AmericA races in the
America’s Cup where it
finishes fourth of 15
entries. 1901 - The
AmericA sails in her
51st, and last race. For
the next 15 years she
will lay under cover in
Boston. 1921 - After
years of different
owners, the AmericA is
once again returned to
the Naval Academy in
Annapolis, Maryland,
where she is poorly
maintained. 1940 - The
AmericA, already
decaying, is left to rot
in a shed in the
Annapolis Yacht Yard
during World War II.
President Roosevelt
pressures Congress to
appropriate $100, 000 to
turn the AmericA into the
National Naval Museum.
Unfortunately, the war
takes priority. In 1942,
under heavy snow, the
roof of the shed
collapses and the heavily
rotted wood gives way.

BeginnerCutters evolved
during the second quarter
of the Eighteenth Century
in Southeast England as
swift channel vessels.
They soon gained a
deserved reputation for
their speed, which was
not unnoticed by
smugglers who soon
adopted the Cutter as
their preferred smuggling
craft. In turn, Cutters
were employed by the
British Customs Service
to counter the smugglers.
Cutters carried a large
disproportional area of
sail for their size and
also served as advice
yachts, packet boats
and, during wartime,
privateers.The Sherbourne
was built as a revenue
vessel for the Customs
Service. She was designed
by Sir Thomas Slade, the
designer of the famous
Victory and was built and
launched in 1763. After
over 20 years of service,
Sherbourne was sold in
1784 ~ a remarkably long
career for such a small
vessel.Sherbourne was 54'
6" long, 19' wide
and had a draught of 8'
11". She carried a
compliment of 30 men and
was 85 tonnes. Armament
consisted of 8 x 3
pounder carriage guns and

Beginner/IntermediatePurchased
by the Royal Navy in
1795, William, under
the direction of Sir
Sidney Smith, was fitted
as a hoy rigged gunboat
at Plymouth Yard.As
fitted, William was
armed with 1x24pdr
cannon, 2x12pdr
carronades and a
compliment of 25 men.Of
special interest is the
innovative design of an
early form of turret
mounting for the 24pdr
cannon. The cannon and
carriage were mounted
onto a bed which in turn
sat on a bearing race
made up of cannon balls,
allowing the whole
assembly to rotate on the
flat (camber less)
forecastle.Although
capable of sail, with a
fore-and-aft style hoy
rig, William would have
been more commonly rowed.
This is further
illustrated not only by
the evidence of rowlocks
and oars but by the way
the mast is mounted on a
pivot allowing it to be
rotated down to deck,
extending aft, guided by
the fore and aft mast
carlings. The mast would
have been lowered in this
manner in order to lower
the centre of gravity and
reduce resistance making
the boat far more
manoeuvrable by oar
power.Built for
anti-invasion duties,
William was manned by 25
men. These men would
usually be members of the
'Sea Fencible', the
maritime equivalent of
the Militia and
volunteers.Although
unclear, William is
believed to have been
wrecked in Guernsey Roads
on 4th November 1801.

IntermediateTwelve bomb
vessels, including
Granado (the sixth),
were built at the
outbreak of the War of
Jenkins's Ear in
1739.Granado was ordered
on September 14th 1741
and the keel was laid on
November 18th 1741.
Although it is uncertain
who designed the Granado,
it is commonly
attributed to Thomas
Slade, the naval
Surveyor who oversaw the
construction of the ship
at Ipswich. Thomas Slade
also went on to design
famous ships such as
H.M.S. Victory.Granado
was unusual in that she
was designed to be used
as either a sloop or a
bomb vessel, being
constructed with a
conventional square
stern.Launched on June
22nd 1742, Granado was
taken to Harwich, fitted
out and put in commission
as a sloop.An Admiralty
Order on July 15th 1745
was issued 'to fit her
(Granado) as a bomb' but
this order was reversed
on July 17th 1745 and
Granado remained as a
sloop. It was not until
1756 that Granado was
fitted for the first time
as a bomb vessel from an
Admiralty Order on July
26th 1756.Between the
launch of Granado on June
22nd 1742 and her fitting
as a bomb vessel July
26th 1756 a number of
changes had been made to
Granado's configuration
as compared to the
original Admiralty plans
the most noticeable of
these are as follows:1.
Two extra 4pdr carriage
guns were added
(Admiralty order of June
20th 1745) bringing the
total 4pdr carriage guns
to 10.2. Two bow chaser
gun ports were added
allowing accommodation of
the extra guns either
under the forecastle as
bow chasers or at the
fifth gunports.3. The
mortars as shown in the
Admiralty plans are two
13 inch mortars however
when fitted as a bomb
vessel this was actually
changed to 1 x 13inch and
1 x 10inch mortar. This
is confirmed by the
provisions list on March
30th 1757 which details
50 large and 50 small
shells.Granado remained
as a bomb vessel until
the Admiralty Order to
fit her as a sloop on
March 20th 1760. It was
during this period as a
bomb vessel that Granado
was involved in her most
active role.On January
22nd 1759 Granado and the
squadron under command of
Commodore John Moore
anchored off Basse Terre.
The following morning the
citadel and batteries of
Basse Terre were
bombarded. By January
24th troops had occupied
the forts of Basse Terre
and Fort Royal, the town
had been devastated by
fire caused by the
carcasses discharged from
the bomb vessels.On
February 7th, the fleet
moved to attack Fort
Louis at the entrance to
Cul de Sac Bay. The
attack began the
following day and by
February 15 the
bombardment ceased with
the capture of the
Fort.Granado was again
converted to a bomb
vessel in August 1761 and
she remained as such
until she was sold on
August 30th 1763 for
£575. During this period
Granado was involved in
the action of capturing
Morro Castle and El Morro
in the West Indies and
the capitulation of
Havana on August 13th
1762.

associated with Admiral
Nelson’s final and most
historic victory, the
Battle of Trafalgar 1805,
Pickle was chosen to
carry the News of
Nelson’s victory and
death back to
England.Commanded by
Lieutenant John Richards
Lapenotiere, Pickle was
not directly involved in
the Battle of Trafalgar
but was permanently busy
rescuing both friend and
foe from a watery death.
By 6pm the muster list
for Pickle showed a total
of 160 prisoners taken on
board, the majority of
these coming from the
burning French Achille.
Given the size of Pickle
and the fact that she had
a crew of just 40 it is
remarkable that
Lapenotiere was not only
able to rescue so many
but that they were then
able to prevent the
prisoners from taking
Pickle as their own.After
the battle, with Admiral
Cuthbert Collingwood now
in command, every ship,
including Pickle, was
required to maintain the
blockade of Cadiz.Between
the 22 and 25 of October,
Lapenotiere continued
rescuing seaman and
prisoners and began
offloading them to other
ships, including
Dreadnought, Euryalus,
Revenge and Victory, all
the while battling to
survive the storm that
was blowing in from the
south west.On the morning
of the 26 October 1805,
Lapenotiere was signalled
to come aboard Euryalus
where he received written
orders from Collingwood
to sail for Plymouth with
the dispatches. Knowing
that the bearer of
dispatches would receive
a promotion, it was
customary to choose a
favoured officer for the
task and Collingwood’s
choice of Lapenotiere is
often attributed to an
act of gratitude. It is
said that, while
Lapenotiere was a
passenger onboard a ship
also conveying Lord
Collingwood, an order
was given on deck to the
man at the wheel.
Lapenotiere, realising
that if the order were
obeyed the ship would be
on the rocks,
immediately gave another
order and saved the ship.
Collingwood thanked
Lapenotiere saying “If
ever I have the
opportunity I will do you
a service.” It is also
said that on receipt of
his orders Collingwood
reminded Lapenotiere of
this promise saying
“Now take these
dispatches to England;
you will receive £500
and your commander’s
commission. Now I have
kept my word.”

with the ever present
threat of the French
Navy, as well as a
strong, potentially
hostile, Scottish fleet,
Henry VIII embarked on a
program of naval
building, including the
Mary Rose and the Peter
Pomegranate. From a
technological point of
view, these ships were a
radical departure from
those of his father
(Henry VII). They were
carvel rather than
clinker built and
equipped with heavy guns
mounted near the
waterline. The
introduction of the
carvel hull also
facilitated the
construction of
watertight gun-ports. The
Mary Rose is believed to
have been named after the
King's favourite sister,
Mary, and the Tudor
emblem, the Rose. The
Mary Rose is thought to
have been constructed in
1510 at Portsmouth but,
while the loss of the
Mary Rose is well
documented, the
construction of the ship
is not. There are however
a few documents that
provide important clues
as to where and when she
was built.1) There is a
warrant to John Dawtry,
dated 29/1/1510,
authorising £700 to be
spent on materials for
the construction of two
ships, one of 400 and
the other of 300 tons.
Although neither ship is
mentioned by name, they
have been assumed to be
the Mary Rose and the
Peter Pomegranate
respectively. These are
also the only two large
new ships recorded as
being built in 1510.
Since other records
indicate that these two
ships were constructed
either simultaneously or
very nearly so, it would
appear likely that these
are the ships in
question.2) The case for
the ship being built in
Portsmouth relies on
several documents in the
State Papers. In 1510,
money was sent to
Brygandine for the repair
of the Sovereign in
Portsmouth dock and the
making of the Regent.
Money was also paid to
him for the 'same' for
the Mary Rose and the
Peter Pomegranate, two
new barks and two new row
barges, during a period
from 29/7/1510 to
20/9/1511. A further
letter sent by Brygandine
to Palshide concerns
money received for the
'new making' of the Mary
Rose and the Peter
Pomegranate. While not
directly stating that
these two ships were
built in Portsmouth, the
coupling of the repair of
the Sovereign in
Portsmouth with the 'new
making' of the Mary Rose
is rather suggestive.
Also, perhaps the
strongest evidence for
the Mary Rose being built
in Portsmouth comes from
John Duance's Accounts,
produced in 1514. In
these, there is a
payment of £120 to
Richard Brygandine for
conveying the Mary Rose
and Peter Pomegranate
from Portsmouth to the
Thames.Static model not

Radio-controlled model
sailing yachtWith her
streamlined hull and
integral keel fin the
elegant Comtesse is
capable of an impressive
turn of speed even in
just a light breeze.
However, the boat can
still be sailed safely in
stronger winds, as the
deep keel makes it
impossible to capsize.
The boat handes nicely
balanced, making it easy
for the newcomer to model
sailing to trim it
accurately. As you would
expect, the Comtesse can
cope with all headings
from tacking into wind
right round to sailing
before the wind, which
means that it is possible
to sail the boat to any
pre-determined point and
then back again. The
model is controlled by
rudder and simultaneous
adjustment of the
mainsail and jib
settings, i.e. all
sailing manoeuvres can be
carried out using a
simple two-channel radio
control system. The kit
includes a moulded Plura

fire-fighting boat to
1:25 scaleThe Düsseldorf
fire-fighting boat was
developed and built by
the Rheinwerft company of
Mainz-Mombach, and it is
operated in the Ruhr
industrial region of
Germany. The vessel is
designed specifically to
cope with disaster
situations, such as a
ship on fire, a major
oil leak or a harbour
system in danger of
explosion, and its fire
monitors, operating at a
pressure of 10.5 bar,
can hurl water or foam 45
m high and a distance of
up to 95 m. The two V-12
engines produce a total
of 930 kW (1260 BHP),
giving the boat a maximum
speed of around 37
km/hr.The robbe kit of
the
"Düsseldorf"
fire-fighting boat is
large and capacious
enough to accommodate all
the equipment required to
emulate the wide-ranging
facilities of the
full-size vessel.
Optional working systems
include the fire
monitors, crane, anchor
winch, radar,
searchlights, blue
light, horn and siren,
and also the sound of the
diesel engines. The
plastic hull is moulded
in thick-walled material,
and it offers plenty of
space for the numerous
mechanical and electronic
parts required for the
auxiliary working
systems. The model is
propelled by two proven
robbe Navy-Kompakt power
systems, giving it an
impressive turn of speed.
Four large rudders
guarantee extreme
manoeuvring capability
both forwards and astern.
The fire monitors can be
swivelled horizontally
and vertically from the
transmitter, and with
the recommended electric
geared pump they can fire
a jet of water a distance
of 6 - 8 m. If a working
boat crane is fitted,
the vacuum-moulded rowing
board can be raised,
swung outboard and
lowered to the water in

Scale model of a sailing
schooner to 1:20 scaleIn
the mid-1860Õs a Swedish
distilling company placed
a contract with the
Stockholm dockyard of
Soedra Varvet for the
construction of a fast,
elegant sailing schooner.
In 1868 the ?9 m long
Vanadis was launched,
rigged as a Newfoundland
schooner. During her
colourful career the
vesselÕs high speed was
in demand, and at times
she operated as a
smuggling boat and as a
customs vessel. In the
period 1978 to 1981 she
underwent complete
restoration in Hamburg,
and since then she has
sailed under the name
Valdivia von Altona. She
now serves as a charter
vessel for extended
sailing cruises, and has
taken part with great
success in international
regattas.Building and
operating this large
model present many hours
of undiluted pleasure to
the experienced marine
modeller who enjoys
working with wood and
other materials. If you

Scale model of the marine
emergency cruiser
"Berlin" to
1:25 scaleThe SK
"Berlin" is one
of the most modern of the
rescue ships operated by
the German Association
for the Rescue of the
Shipwrecked (DGzRS). The
boat was christened on
the occasion of the
Association’s 120 year
anniversary in May 1985,
and was commissioned at
its base of Kiel/Laboe.
The boat was constructed
at the Luerssen shipyard
in Bremen using a special
interlocking bulkhead
system, and is built of
seawater-resistant
aluminium.The Berlin’s
three engines with their
total power of about 3200
BHP give her an
impressive top speed of
24 knots. The SK’s hull
is designed to allow her
to operate and manoeuvre
accurately at very high
speeds in extremely heavy
seas. Powerful fire
monitors with a pumping
capacity of 200 m3
provide a highly
effective fire fighting
capability in case of
emergency. The ship is
equipped with a powerful
bow thruster for extreme
manoeuvrability, and it
is also fitted with the
very latest technical and
communications equipment
for use at sea.The Berlin
also carries advanced
medical equipment and
facilities to provide
first aid to injured
mariners. In shallow
waters the vessel’s
versatility is increased
by the daughter boat
Steppke, which is
carried on board. This
little boat is extremely
adaptable, and has been
specially developed and

Scale model of a cutter
to 1:20 scaleOf all the
smaller working boats in
the North and Baltic Seas
the shrimping and fishing
cutters are by far the
most widespread, and
they are also pressed
into service for many
other tasks. Their
characteristically jaunty
appearance makes them a
great favourite amongst
modellers, and the
"Antje II"
exploits this popularity
to the full. The kit
components are highly
pre-fabricated, with the
aim of simplifying and
speeding up the
construction of the
model. The capacious hull
offers ample space for a
large battery, the drive
motor and the radio
control system. A
fittings set, No. 1111,
is also available to give
the boat an impressive
scale appearance, and
the final touch is the
wood parts fittings set,
No.

Scale model of a
buoy-laying vessel to
1:25 scaleThe Kormoran is
a real workhorse among
model boats, as it can
be employed for such
disparate tasks as laying
and retrieving buoys,
and salvaging obstacles
in shipping lanes. The
ideal tool for these jobs
is the working derrick
which can be controlled
over all three axes, and
thus can extend to all
points on the loading
deck as well as
outboard.The Kormoran
will delight any modeller
who wants to make a start
in multifunction model
boats, or is looking for
an interesting second
model.OptionalPower

Scale model of the cruise
and expedition ship to 1:
100 scaleThe full-size
vessel:The ´MS
Hanseatic´ was
commissioned by
Hapag-Lloyd in 1993, and
is classed as a luxurious
cruise ship and one of
the finest expedition
vessels. With a gross
registered tonnage of
8378 the ship has one
great advantage over
conventional luxury
liners: where the ´fat
ships´ have to stop or
make a detour, the ´MS
Hanseatic´ simply
carries on: in Arctic and
Antarctic waters, and
even South American
rivers such as the
Amazon, the Rio Negro or
the Orinoko. The ´MS
Hanseatic´ was specially
designed to cope with the
polar regions, and is
classified in the highest
ice class. Four
inflatable boats for
expeditions are carried
on the ´MS Hanseatic´,
and passenger excursions
in them are considered to
be the climax of the
cruises. Up to 184
passengers can be
accommodated on the seven
decks, plus a crew of
125 persons. The ship is
classified as a five-star
vessel.With the kind
approval of Hapag-Lloyd
AG.The model:This kit is
aimed at experienced
marine modellers who
enjoy a constructional
challenge as well as the
pleasure of running the
model. Many details of
the original machine are
included in our model of
the ´MS Hanseatic´,
and auxiliary working
systems such as bow
thruster, working
stabilisers, lighting
and engine sound systems
can be installed by the
modeller with experience
of such
installations.Specification:Length:
