There was a gentleman from Vancouver BC, Canada, that built an all steel model.
I saw it at a model show back in 1980. Everything worked right down to the door latches.
Steel work was mentioned a few years ago on RCgroups, and at that time, I also talked about
this mans boat, and the fact that it was all steel. At that time, another member spoke up and
happened to mention his name... However, it is all lost to me now...
