I don't think there is near as many as that. it was a relatively short lived magazine. Definitely didn't last 70 years. (I haven't been building model boats for 70 years

) The magazine referred to is not Model boats but Radio Control Boat Modeller. I do however have most of the Model Boats magazine from 1975, takes up a few shelves.

Hi Jim
Yes sorry I was referring to Model Maker & Model Boats, Think RCBM was basically absorbed into Model Boats.

Just measured my complete collection of 1950 to 1965 of the proper Muddle Maker and 20 out of 24 issues of its predecessor The Model Mechanic, 135 square by 10 thick, mm that is.

Regards Ian.

Hi all, The Will Everard is available as a trip on the Thames for a day with bangers and mash for lunch. She sails under the name 'WILL'. The Everard family sold the boat but kept back the Everard name.

I don't remember Norstar making a Crash Tender - but I do remember the SHG Shadow. I had one with either a Webra or a Veco 19 - about 40 years ago. Great fun, but would have to be electrified today.

I have the PBM paddle steamer sitting on a shelf, badly needing some restoration work. It was a bit tender as it came so I ended up adding an extra 1/2 inch balsa bottom with an external ballast keel moulded from lead shot and polyester resin. It also needed an enlarged rudder to improve the steering but with these mods it handled well. The geared drive was very noisy so I replaced that with a friction drive with silicon tube on the motor shaft running on an aluminium disc, much quieter with no gear noise. Probably still got the original Bob's Board wired in.(Also have their oil rig supply boat.)

Spent many a Saturday afternoon at Michaels Models, it was the nearest model shop to me when living in Muswell Hill.

That brings back some memories.... I built the KK Neptune when I was 10 ~ my first boat build and that was almost 50 years ago....
Where's that time gone....
