Amphibians
Bob's VW 'Schwimmwagen, one of the coolest amphibious models, is getting ready to invade Russia from Over, just like a model yacht or an RC boat navigating through challenging waters.
Bob’s display of amphibious models at a crowded Warwick Show Stand featured an impressive range of model yachts and RC boats.
Bob’s been locked in the workshop again and created another masterpiece in his range of amphibious models. This time, he’s crafted a fully functional “Aqua Car” where even the passengers wave! Fantastic work, Bob! What’s next, perhaps a model yacht or some innovative RC boats?
Yet again another piece of magnificent engineering and modelling from Bob our amphibian guru!. Pictured is his recently completed Alvis Stalwart; this was its first swim in open water. Just like the real thing – it is tricky to steer on its water jets but with practice it should be just fine. Bob’s next step is to model the crane, sta
Yet again another piece of magnificent engineering and modelling from Bob our amphibian guru!. Pictured is his recently completed Alvis Stalwart; this was its first swim in open water. Just like the real thing – it is tricky to steer on its water jets but with practice it should be just fine. Bob’s next step is to model the crane, starting off by making an extendable semi-working one to start with. A fully radio-controlled version is on the drawing board!
Bob’s been at it again! – This time an absolutely beautifully scratch built scale model of a London DUKW tours amphibious vehicle. It features 6 wheel drive so nothing stops it as can be seen here in the snow.
Bob’s Amphicar – originally built in Germany in the 1960’s with a Triumph Herald engine. This is a plank-on-frame model built from photographs of the original stored in the Science Museums warehouse near Swindon. Here it is ‘swimming’ in the Club’s waters at Over and making use of the slipway to show it really does drive in and out of t

This is a plank-on-frame model built from photographs of the original stored in the Science Museums warehouse near Swindon. Here it is ‘swimming’ in the Club’s waters at Over and making use of the slipway to show it really does drive in and out of the water. (Must get a driver on board). There are still a few of the originals left on the road
