my interest in these toys dates back many years and as i never had the money to buy them i just made my own.

ths boat has two radio controlled men that row it they are now some 20 years old and still working



this cat works his head and leggs in true walking running motion  head also moves up down.



and my 12 man roman galley 
radio controlled and worked entirely by the oars



not quite a toy but my tin man is a hit with the kids
