Lizzie the Lifeboat, the heroine of Dora Thatcher's book, is continuing her fund raising activities - but this time in model form! Modeller and lifeboat enthusiast John Saunders was growing tired of having to refuse small boys requests of 'Can I 'ave a go mister' for fear of damaging his valuable, large scale models so he built a model Lizzie just for them.

The radio controlled mini lifeboat is complete with moving eyes and diminutive Daniel the foredeck to complete the illusion!.
