Taylor's R/C Boatyard

Pat's Schooner Valdivia - Patrick Matthews built a superbly detailed Valdivia as part of a build-article in Ships in Scale magazine, it's a four part series running from July 2006 through January 2007.  This webpage has some wonderful pictures of his build, (and I believe he mentioned it might be for sale too).

Robbe Modellsport  - The manufacture of some of the kits I've greatly enjoyed building.

Gold Coast Hobby  - Long Island, NY - one of the few Robbe Distributors in the US, where I obtained my Valdivia kits, ask for Charles.  They have a new toll-free number, 800-628-9625.

        The type font is a little small but it says, "Marine Modeling International", very good print magazine from the UK but not much info online. The publishers site also carries quite a few books, such as Historical Sailing Ships / Remote Controlled, which I like.

Weak Signals R/C Model Show in Toledo, Ohio  - Great R/C show. Won prizes there with my Atlantis and Valdivia.

www.busybeas.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk  - My friend Steve in the UK has recently started his build of the Robbe Atlantis schooner and recording it on his website. And with his enthusiasm, has also gathered together a list of some other Atlantis owners, something I never got around to doing.  It is do to his fine efforts that I list some of these here.

www.minisail.com/html/atlantis.html [Non-English]  - Gerd Neumann from Germany, started working in 1976 for ROBBE as a shipmodel design engineer, and models like ATLANTIS; BERLIN; DÜSSELDORF; VALDIVIA, and HAPPY HUNTER came from his workshop. He has recently retired. I highly recommend looking at his project "Susanne", that is modeled on a Atlantis hull. Great "Mini-Sail" Club website, featuring many beautiful scratch-built boats.

www.orilliapronet.com/bmyc/album/index.htm  - Don Boyd in Ontario, Canada, another Atlantis builder.

www.markus-berwanger.de/Schiffsmodellbau/Atlantis/atlantis.html [Non-English] - Markus Berwanger's web site from Germany.

www.rc-modellbau-schiffe.de/Schiffe/ANDERE_SCHIFFE/SEGELSCHIFFE/Atlantis/Atlantis.html [Non-English] - Atlantis website of Friedhelm Verken with the deck planking effect that both Steve and myself have been interested in.

Tall-Ship Fan  - Wonderful database of  Tall Ships, lots of pictures, I entered "Valdivia" and found some great shots of the original boat.
