Ericson Models?

[Bolo]

I had a conversation with a non-sailor about my Ericson 32-3 the other day and at one point he asked if anyone has ever made a scale model of an Ericson 32 or any other Ericson for that matter. I had to confess that I've never seen or heard of a company or individual that made one but it's a big world out there and who knows? Has anyone here ever seen an Ericson model boat? I think I've seen half-hulls someplace but never the full boat with rigging.

SD Model Makers would be happy to build one for you. Not sure at what cost, but at least you won't have to pay dockage.

Starting price, for a 12 inch model, is $2,500 which is about half of my yearly slip fee…so….I think I can live with just the FULL SIZE version.

Dean Derusha took over Ken Gardiner's model business and has been busy expanding it with a whole range of molds (and 3-D printing options).

And seems to be quite reasonably priced. He lists a number of Ericsons in his catalog.



No idea if those are "stock" items or if he'd have to build from photos, but maybe worth a call.

Derusha Model Marine, (989) 980-9423 (I have no connection, other than trading messages with him to find out if the "32" is a 32-2 or 32-3.)

BTW, for those on Facebook, he's got a page (actually, two). Stuff looks pretty nice. Everything from basic half-hulls to fully kitted-out models painted to match the original, with deck-gear and even to-scale people

I think the plastic models look closer to the real thing! After all, they are plastic boats. I will see if he has or will do a 911! Would love to have a model for the living room.
