CW member Royboy appropriately posted an ad for his beautiful Montauk models over in the Marketplace forum. I saw it and couldn't resist inserting a link and commenting here, with the thought that some of you might have missed the ad.

I had a chance to see one of Royboy's models--a full hull version--in person while visiting CW member Erik Selis in Belgium earlier this year. It is truly a unique work of art, and the craftsmanship is of the highest quality. These half-hull models look to be just as nice, and what a holiday gift one would make. Just a heads up for those who might be interested.

Looks great! Wished he made a Nauset.

are the full models still available?

Royboy posted 12-24-2008 07:18 PM ET (US)
Thanks for the nice plug, Tony. Erik's model has the distinction of being #1, the first I made. Each model since then has gotten the same level of care, although I've probably improved a few things along the way. So far there are around 30 full models in five countries, and around 15 half-hulls. I'm a little behind due to the holiday rush (no doubt fueled by Tony's plug) but I'll be making a few more (full and half) after the New Year to use up my materials. Stay tuned for a new offering or two for 2009.

No need to thank me, Roy. Truly beautiful, unique models. Merry Christmas to you and yours,
Tony

Great work! Do you make a 19 Montauk in 1/2? Have pictures of the other models?
erik selis posted 12-27-2008 02:51 AM ET (US)
Yes Tony, these models are a fine piece of craftsmanship. I'm very pleased to be the owner of the first model. It has a special place in the living room. Thanks again Roy. I hope you decide on building the 1980's Outrage model in the future.

I'm planning on building an 18 Outrage c1985, but I haven't cut anything yet. I'm also waiting on some photos of a 17 SS so I can build some of the nice wood interiors for my current hull (c1984 Montauk). I may do some of the other models based on this hull too, but I'm really excited about the Outrage project.

I, too, received a half-hull for Christmas. BEAUTIFUL!
Roy, how about photo-documenting the process you go through to make a series? I don't want you to give away any secrets, but I just imagine what all you do just in making the HULL (much less the railing, windshield, etc.).
This half-hull sits right next to my Danbury Mint models!

PS About what year will the TEMPTATION series be released? ;-)
Royboy posted 12-29-2008 07:28 PM ET (US)
Oddly enough, I've been toying with the idea of making a "How It's Made" type video of the process. Perhaps I'll do one in photos first as a storyboard. There really is quite a bit of work that goes into each piece.

Royboy, make a 18" full model of an 80's Outrage and I'll take one. high sierra
Royboy posted 12-29-2008 08:05 PM ET (US)
Before I get a bunch of "make my Whaler" requests, I should point out that I have to make tooling (i.e. a master wood pattern and then molds) for each hull type. These take considerable work and hundreds of dollars to produce. I have to chose my projects carefully so that I can recoup the tooling cost and hopefully make my time worthwhile.

Your craftmanship is very good . Take deposits. high sierra
Royboy posted 12-31-2008 10:55 AM ET (US)
If anyone has a drawing of the mid '80's 18 Outrage, even a wood locating diagram, I would be grateful for it. I have some good photos to work from, but drawings make things much easier.

Roy Can I get on the list for the next Montauk that you complete?

Doug, You've got mail. I have materials for a few more models if anyone wants one, just email me.

Whaler sent me this one in the mail last month. I guess it's their way of saying thanks for throwin' a bunch of $$ our way for the 190 Montauk. BTW, purdy work on yours!

Hi Roy,
I just take delivery of the Montauk.
I believe it's the first in France.
Really, fine craftmanship.
Fine details.
Many thanks again.
I strongly recommend this fine full model.
All the best to you and yours.
Alain
ps: I believe I have some drawings of my 22'Outrage, time will tell...

Nice work Roy, I know the amount of effort that goes into these type of projects and that profit margins usually end up sub-minimum wage. To me the most important value is in the personal satisfaction and pride in craftsmanship that work like yours demonstrates. Keep up the good work.

Well I just ordered this beautiful piece of workmanship and skill. Thanks, John.

Received my 1/2 hull Montauk. Great model. Thank you. My 5 year old has decided it would look best on his bedroom wall looking over Gloucester Harbor. I agreed. So much for my home office!
Thanks again and well done. I want to mount a 1/2 motor on it now! What brand makes the best 1/2 motor:)
Royboy posted 01-21-2009 10:11 AM ET (US)
Half-hull #17 is on Ebay. I have three right halves, including the one on ebay. Inexplicably, I had a run on left halves over the holidays.
