Should there be R.C Models of ferries that you can take out on a model boating lake?

I mean models like the Saltspring Queen, this one.  but more detailed vehicle deck and little cars and people on board. When I get bored with them, I'll probably sell them, I am planning to make a few this or next year. Probably Mill bay and Quinsam. If you would like one when I sell them, I will keep in touch with you guys and tell you when you can buy one. |

It will be a while 'till you see them maybe 2006 sometime, I will tell you where I am selling them, and whoever gets there can tell me which one they want, there will be 5 or 6 maybe in 2006 Xmas time.
A great Xmas Present.
I plan to Make Quinsam, Mill bay, HSQ, Klitsa and maybe even Bowen Queen.

I'll try and sell them near everyone, maybe HSB Restuarant near the Terminal and Marina, or on a street in Vancouver/North Vancouver, or Tsawassen Terminal.
I will try to make some V's and C's in 2006/2007

I want to float one with you, maybe Mill bay, as it is the only small vessel I know very well.

Actually, I have a model of the Jervis Queen that I built a few years back when I was a young teenager. Not RC though. I'll post some pics soon

I had a model of the Quadra Queen II in my yard growing up. It was used as a float for May Day (Quadra's annual festival) and we got it afterwards. It was still painted black, white and yellow from the Ministry of Highways days.
If you want a RC Ferry, build it. Go into a hobby shop and see what you can use to make a frame and outer skin. This wouldn't be a weekend project, and it might take a couple tries to get the look right, but it would be a great thing to have and use when it's completed.
PS. Don't build an RC Oak Bay. You'll crash into all the other boats!

Heheh, I was thinking of the Minors, I have an Idea for actually carrying 16 cars on da mill bay, H0/00 Scale and realistic details, yellow line car lanes, with black tarmac, then little people on the car deck, I might buy a tug-boat then build a barge that H0/00 scale trains can fit onto, with rails on the barge.

See if you can bring it down onto Durrance Lake near Brentwood Bay when it's finished, or I can come up to Nanaimo and float one of mine with yours on long lake, I like the little Island on Long lake.
Mill bay is going to be made first, then Quinsam.

There's an Island on Long Lake?

A tiny one, go into the Ramada Car park and then walk around to long lake on a wooden type of floating bridge, there is an island there.
I 'm thinking of making the Mill bay out of Lollypop/Popsicle sticks, then paint her and put an engine in her, propellers and little cars on the vessel.
