The "Stollie" article was in two parts over July and August 2011 Model Boats. I don't think there is a plan available but the author does give his contact details in the text.

Andy. Out of interest, did you read the Alvis Stalwart article?? Did you see how much the chap spent on it??

If I saw some decent size wheels, it is something I would like to have a bash at. Skid steering and hidden props might be the order of the day though!

It would be easy enough to make a simple "boat" only Stollie, just for some fun.

Andy. I try and spend less that three figures for a build, sometimes they go double three figures and I am forced to sell my story to the mag to stay solvent, much as I obviously dislike to as it is difficult being famous.

The Stollie man spent OVER four figures on his model. And what a model. Fantastic, I had to sit down I was ghasted so much..

So, Andy.. are you up to the mark?? or will it be Weetabix box time??
