I am editing my post as my first assumptions are, most likely, incorrect.
At first I thought that these could almost pass for a showcase for the Billings Boats product line I reckon, esecially with the Boulogne Etaples, albeit with a lot of scratch building and "kit bashing." It could also be the Dumas Jolly Jay.
Artesania Latina kits come to mind as well, I thought of the Hellen in style and shape. There also seems to be a hull kit or mold that was used multiple times which reminds me of the Mare Nostrum. The larger tramp steamer or coastal freighter could be a Dean's hull? But that one definitely has me stumped.
Great stuff Riley! 👍

Hello Riley
As a landlubber and newbie, I'm calling on all my mates here to help him....
We have real sea bears and experts among us who I'm sure can help you.
Some of these cute cutters are the result of the builder's own ideas, in my opinion.
Your collection is really impressive. Good luck finding them out!

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me identify some model boat that have appeared in "Thomas & Friends" between 2002 to 2008.
In my research, I have discovered that there were many off-shelf kits which were used throughout the series. However, there are at least 9 vessels I am unable to ID. This either suggests that these specific model kits are currently discontinued or these boats/ships were freelance designs created by the model makers at Shepperton Studios. I can provide some images for reference.
If anyone could help, that would be greatly appreciated.
