    Im here!

    I'm here. Many of you may be familiar with my work some will not. I'll be building and scratch building more boats this year. I've really missed it. Here's some of my older builds. Really have to thank some of the greats who back 17 years ago who taught me how to build an RC submarine. David Merriman, BigDave, Jeff LaRue to same a few. Although I have been a professional modeler for Hollywood for many years this hobby really kicked my butt and taught me a great deal.

    I live in Ventura now for the last 7 years and have maintained my makers studio for all that time. I work there everyday making wonderful toys and more. www.steveneillsgarage.com

    Bob is sending me a Arkmodels VIIC and a 32 inch Nautilus which both replace the larger ones I just sent him. At age 68 I'm finding the big boats harder to handle and I look forward to these new builds!

          Thank you all for the warm welcome. I got my tracking numbers yesterday from Bob and the boats are due here at my studio on Tuesday. I'm very excited especially to build the VIIC. My favorite boat. The Nautilus is for Mary to sail she loves that boat and she wants to display it at home because the other one was too big. I don't have a problem with that. ;)

              For now i'm playing around with a Japanese Midgetsub, it has become a bit longlasting project, but i don't mind, have my other boats to play with.
              So, you gave up the big type VII, sold my old hull and got me the type VII of my mentor, he has passed away some time ago, restaured his boat with functional bibers into working order.

              This about the Japanese build,
              We welcome all your projects here, regardless of the model manufacturer. You can upload photographs to your own album and display them here.


              And this is about the restauration of the type VII
              OK, guys Lately i came in contact with the daughter of my passed mentor and good friend, she did not managed to get her father's sub into a museum, it was this
