We seem to have lost a couple of posts here too - SEE on Saturday chaps!

Will you be wearing a carnation and carrying a copy of The Times? ( or Model Boats would be more appropriate ) so we can all see you easily....

Never mind fish'n'chips, Martin. There used to be a great oyster bar on the front. Just remember to check that they twitch when you squeeze the lemon on them. And anyway, there's still no chippie to touch Brian's of Far Headingley.

I think these are the last, and just wanted to take general views of the Show............if anyone wants some close ups of a particular model, Martin was there spending hours taking shots........he might have some......neil.

DickyD · « **Reply #39 on:** October 20, 2012, 06:13:13 pm »

Excellent Neil, thanks for that.

heritorasphodel · « **Reply #40 on:** October 20, 2012, 06:24:21 pm »

If anyone has any close ups of the little Liverpool between Neil's Field Marshal and Mrs Smuts and the Flying Christine I would greatly appreciate it.

Andrew

Neil · « **Reply #41 on:** October 20, 2012, 08:22:10 pm »

I'll do some of that for you andrew tomorrow when I go down to the show.

speaking of the show, can anyone enlighten me as to who the judges were and whether theywere MPBA affiliated judges..........

as I was standing there one rather bossy "young" lady who had already told me in no uncertain manner that I hadn't filled my form in correctly and that documentation was imperative for the judges, then was heard to say.........."how can we judge boats like this that are full of dust"........

I just wonder whether she has produced any boats of technical brilliance herself..........I haven't a clue who's these boats were that were full of dust,

but they were also dripping with water too, AND had a grab rope hanging off that had just been ripped off on the pool as they had just been on the water..........does this dripping water and battle scars also count against a boat when judging......

After hearing that I am more than ever convinced that judging at shows by anyone other than hired professional judges is a total FARCE

Good god man, you are not suggesting that boats should be used with and put into Water !!! What ever next

arhhhh but I see now after looking through the pictures I posted.........the judges were from a club with a load of lifeboats on their stand..................I see a conspiracy theory brewing here...........

I demand a rejudge.........

Looks great. Thanks for posting Neil. Let's hope they come over to to Warwick show in November.

chris gillespie · « **Reply #46 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:05:04 pm »

well thats my first model boat bash,

some fine models on display, plenty bits and bobs to be had....if your patient or cue barge in ( you know who you are )

could have spent a fortune, spent more than intended. I like value for money..the worst value for money was the quid thimble of cofee....but hey ho

ill maybe make the 8 hour round trip next year

Rottweiler · « **Reply #47 on:** October 20, 2012, 09:35:41 pm »

I thought they were complaining that the dust wasnt to scale Neil? I did say that you had made the dust also,and not many people could say that! LOL
