SS Minnow

Modeling Subjects Ships

I’ve seen a few kitbashed and/or scratch built models of the SS Minnow from Gilligan’s Island and I plan to build one also. Just wondering of any one here has built one. I’m surprised it was never offered as a model. Especially back in the late 60s and 70s. I already have a boat I bought that I think I can convert and build it into the SS Minnow. Pretty close any way.

Hi there,

You might find this link interesting: http://www.gilligansisle.com/minnow.html . Apparently there were four “Minnows”. I’m not sure if they’re all the same class boat though.

EDIT: I just found this too:

It looks pretty cool for any ship modeler.

I saw a Barbie Doll listed on Ebay that looked a lot like Ginger. Will that help you?

Thanks to the quality of the new soy based inks, the paper models are getting better and better, I might even try one. :slight_smile:

Pat Trittle did a construction article on the MINNOW for Radio Control Boat Modeler Magazine. The MINNOW plans are $14.95. They also offer the ORCA plans for $19.95, shark not included.
