Something a little bit different this time on the Hall of Fame.  Our very own Stan recently displayed a number of his models at a local primary school in the hope of generating some new club recruits of the future.  Having taken a few shots of the event we thought they might find an interested audience here as well.  I'm reliably informed there are more tucked away as well!

Hi Guys. Thanks to Bunkerbarge for putting on Mayhem these pictures of some of my models. Yes there is a further five not on display, the Susie B is a Midwest lobster boat to a scale of 1/12 or 1in to the foot.  Model details length 30in beam 10in powered by a 550 motor.  Batteries are two 7.2 4500m/amp ni cads, the speed controller is a very early Mtronicks unit. Other features include a diesel sound including start up and lights that are turned on via an Action electronic switch. Power for the lights is taken from the drive battery through a voltage regulator which supplies three volts to the lights.  Susie B is now twenty one years old, has had numerous refits over this time but it still gets lots of attention when on display at model shows. Crew figures are Tamiya, pit crew sadly no longer available and the tools are nearly all from dolls house collections. Deck planking is now starting to weather due to sunlight and water being splashed on it and various parts of the super structure are staring to split, all part of the natural ageing of the model. The prop shaft is home made from brass tube and rod and it has never been removed since it was installed. Lubrication to the prop shaft is via an oil point inside the hull.  Construction is all timber and ply and the outside of the hull is glass fibre.  If you need any more information on Susie B or any of the models please send me a p/m via Mayhem.
