I had all intentions of going, until this morning, to pick out a new project,now circumstances conspire to stop me. Perhaps I'll get there next time. Enjoy yourselves.

Didn't make it there today, a laser printer fell on my foot yesterday...
.....and I haven't finished cursing yet! >>:-(
Photos anyone?
-
Sorry good ole me forgot to take my camera, plenty of people taking photo`s from mayhem members, would recommend (when your foot is better) a visit to the new workshop, lots of people said a lot better and very open planned. A lot of work and thought has gone into this so all I can say is WELL DONE Ron Dean & helpers. Great venue will only get bigger
P.S. I can see the pool getting bigger
-
Excellent day out to Peterborough. The new building is really great. Lots of exciting new things in development.
Sorry, I too forgot the camera, which is a pity because there was a part built HMS Polyphemus which not only had working bow rudders - but they retracted too! A working Russian Novrogod circular warship, submarine X1, HMS Gnat, plus an awesome HMS Dreadnaught. Highlight of the day was of course Deans staff and helpers doing the water bucket thing in the pond to raise money for RNLI.
-
do you know what time they open tomorrow please
-
10am I think. Well worth a visit if you haven't been. I was there yesterday afternoon and this morning for the first time and I assure you that you won't be bored! Some nice things to buy in the shop and on the Mobile Marine Models and ScaleFlags stands too.
Colin

Hi to, Bob K and everyone else, who came to the Deans marine open weekend!
Thanks for the interest shown, in the circular thing, and the under construction Polyphemus. It was great chatting to you!
Bob, If you are still interested in building Novgorod, I can put a photo and plans data file together for you.
Or if you can wait a little while it will be available as grp mouldings and a fittings kit next year.....time allowing, I have so much stuff to do!
That is, if I ever fully recover from the Dean family Saturday night entertainment spectacular %%
Some superb Russian vodka was consumed, along with some bizarre face, finger nail and hog roast decoration {-) in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Regards
Ian

Hi Ian. I hope you have recovered from the feasting last night %%
As most Mayhemer's know I have a passion old unusual warships. I love what you are doing with HMS Polyphemus, photo's please. Interesting ballast tank arrangement, and using beam torpedo tubes for inlet and vent.
I have always been fascinated with the circular Novgorod, and whether a model of her could in fact steer. Not sure if 1/96 will be too small for a big lake. Super workmanship on yours.
-
Just a few pictures from taken over the weekends events. I must admit there is no other boating event like this anywhere on the planet.
Mark

There was even time to fit in the annual Deans clan bath - all for charity
-
And the after show party was a great hit with much Belgium Beer, German shots, Hog roast and followed by live entertainment, all thoroughly enjoyed themselves, although the hog was looking a bit hungover the following morning!
-
I seem to have missed the most exciting bits then.... :((
-
Will definatly have to get my derrier down to this one next year without a doubt
Dave
-
So if it was the Dean familys annual Bath time HOW COME RON remained DRY..... something stinks there .......oh sorry for the pun :D {-) {-) {-) {-) {-)
Dave
-
So if it was the Dean familys annual Bath time HOW COME RON remained DRY
Dave, surely you know by now that Ron walks on water.....
Colin
-
Ah, but he did not stay dry long as the girls gave Ron a vertical bed bath {-)
-
Well, I've just got over the weekend! And I didn't even go to the after dark party!
Many thanks to Ron and family, and team for putting on a fantastic weekend, I've never had so much fun. My Dad and I had big grins all weekend :}
Great to meet Bob K, Marmoi, Ian K, Baloo, Stan, Dougal99, Firefly, BJ, Colin Bishop, and Colin-d again. There were some real crackers on show this year, Ian K's Polythemus made me very jealous to see it and I'm sure Bob K was just as happy if not more! And Colin-d's lovely award winning models were stunning-not only as models but the engineering involved blew my mind!
Bought some goodies from Mike Allsop of Scale Flags (a jolly roger for the X1 submarine :D ), ladders and a few fittings from Mobile Marine Models, and bought some railings and a model of Borodino Pre-dreadnought in 1/350 from Ron.
Already looking forward to next year! :-))

Missed you Martin, we all thought that you were stuck at home trying to decide which brightly coloured shirt you were going to wear! %)
Kinda feel guilty now! Hope the foot heals soon. :-))
-

By which time there will definitely be Polyphemi (Is that the correct collective noun?)
-
Let's hope so Bob!
''Polyphemi'' seems to be a good as word as any.
Sorry you didn't get a chance to sail Novgorod, but I didn't get a chance to put her in the water, due to chatting all three days!...must try harder next year to get them wet!
Can I add a very big thank you, to every one who donated to the Dean's ice bucket challenge collection. Also a thank you to Victorian, who came to the event on Sunday, and let me play with his lovely model of HMS Pelorus.
Ian

Some of those 'prototype' models look interesting, so when's the next open day? Must get it booked before MrsJ makes plans.
-
Dean's open weekends are normally 2nd weekend in September but may change due to local circumstances. Keep an eye on the forum or Dean's adverts in the model boat mags.
-
also there is a small photo Gallery on the Deans Website..

I am doing a brief write up for Model Boats. Could anyone kindly tell me who built the superb model of Dreadnought on display in the inner courtyard as I omitted to make a note!
Thanks,
Colin

Hi Colin,
The model of HMS Dreadnought was built by Mark Hawkins.

Thanks Ian, much appreciated.
