Pegasus Barge (NASA Vessel) 36 Inches Ship Model

Fire Fighter II – 36-Inch Handcrafted Wooden Model

Own a handcrafted tribute to one of the world's most powerful and capable fireboats. The Fire Fighter II is a legendary firefighting vessel designed to protect ports, waterfront facilities, and offshore infrastructure from major marine emergencies. Built with exceptional pumping capacity, advanced firefighting equipment, and powerful maneuvering capabilities, Fire Fighter II has served as a critical emergency response asset, capable of battling large-scale fires on ships, docks, terminals, and coastal facilities. Its impressive size, specialized systems, and life-saving mission have made it an iconic symbol of maritime firefighting excellence.

Our 36-inch handcrafted Fire Fighter II model faithfully captures the distinctive appearance of the original vessel. Each model is individually built by experienced craftsmen using the traditional plank-on-frame construction method—the same principle used in real wooden shipbuilding. We select only premium hardwoods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany, to ensure exceptional durability, fine detail, and a timeless finish.

Every element is carefully recreated, from the powerful hull design and elevated superstructure to the large firefighting monitors, water cannons, bridge, radar mast, rescue equipment, deck fittings, and other signature features that define this remarkable emergency response vessel. Rather than being mass-produced, each model is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in a museum-quality display piece worthy of any maritime, firefighting, or vessel collection.

The 36-inch model offers a larger, more commanding display while showcasing an even greater level of craftsmanship and detail. Its increased size allows the Fire Fighter II's distinctive hull, firefighting equipment, and operational features to stand out more prominently, making it an impressive centerpiece for an office, study, display cabinet, or dedicated collection room. Ideal for firefighters, maritime professionals, emergency service enthusiasts, and serious collectors, the 36-inch version delivers enhanced realism and visual impact while remaining practical for most display spaces. It is the perfect choice for those seeking a substantial museum-quality model that celebrates the courage, technology, and life-saving mission of this exceptional fireboat.

Each piece is individually handcrafted, with production typically taking 3–6 months, depending on the model's size and complexity. Throughout the process, we'll keep you updated with detailed progress photos at every major milestone, allowing you to review the craftsmanship and approve each stage before we move forward.

You'll receive photos during:

- Hull construction
- Deck detailing and superstructure assembly
- Final painting and finishing

Your satisfaction comes first. We proceed to the next stage only after you've reviewed the previous one.

Commissioned in 2010, Fire Fighter II is one of the most advanced fireboats operated by the Fire Department of the City of New York (FDNY). Built to replace aging firefighting vessels while significantly expanding emergency response capabilities, the fireboat combines high-capacity pumping systems with modern navigation technology and rescue equipment. Designed to protect New York Harbor, the vessel can respond rapidly to waterfront fires, marine accidents, hazardous material incidents, and large-scale emergencies.

Capable of pumping tens of thousands of gallons of water per minute, Fire Fighter II ranks among the most powerful fireboats in the world. In addition to firefighting, the vessel supports search and rescue operations, maritime security, and disaster response throughout one of the busiest ports in the United States. Its advanced capabilities ensure that FDNY remains prepared to respond to complex emergencies involving commercial shipping, passenger vessels, and waterfront infrastructure.
