Some little time ago Walter suggested that there was a one-man hull maker in Scotland that made a 38 inch hull for the Waverley.

Is there any progress on identifying this individual?

Bob.

Sorry Bob I still havnt found the leaflet - I took it to the club and put it in a book which someome had borrowed but which book? I am still searching!  Regards, Walter.

I think I may have the solution. A few months ago on the model boats forum someone asked about a chap called Gib Duthie. After I ask WHO? someone very kindly sent me his leaflet listing the hulls and Waverly is there. He sells them through Scoonie Hobbies but on the bottom of the leftlet there is his 'phone number and address. If this is of any use I will see if I can find the electronic copy and forward it to you. All it says is the scale and price with very little else detail but I have heard that his plans and hulls are some of the best you can get.

Regards
Daryl

Hi,
I have found the two files they total 3mb if anyone wants me to e-mail them just let me know. I have heard only good things about Mr duthie's hull but I have yet to see one.
He does mostly fishing boats with a few warships
Regards
Daryl

I would be interested in the two files you have. I have sent you a PM with my email address.

Bob.

Daryl has replied and for anyone interested the Waverley hull is scale 1/8" to 1' and measures 31" in length. Price quoted is £40 which includes a scale working drawing but not postage.

For the moment I have not yet checked with Gib Duthie re confirmation of price and availability.

Bob

If that leaflet is around, is there the Talisman on it too?

If so how much and what is the scale?

I desperately want to build a model of the Talisman and the Metcalf one is turning out difficult for me to get to Aus.

Thanks  Martin

Hi Martin I have sent you the files in two messages.

If they don't arrive let me know and I will e-mail them.

Hope this helps
Daryl

I am a new member and reading through the forum, the 31 inch Waverley seems to be the sort of thing I am looking for.   Can anyone help me with the source of supply, please.   Many thanks,  Oldie

I've never actually seen one of Gibs hulls, so I cannot comment on quality or accuracy...
