:)I couldn't agree more with Sub Driver. A good weekend for marine modelers at a great location. The weather was excellent which made the outdoor sailing even more enjoyable for participants and spectators alike. Model sailing took place both days with a wide variety of sailing craft on the water. The pool for the juniors was also kept busy. Trade support was very good and business seemed to be brisk. Lots of different models on static display which gave the visitors plenty to look at and comment upon. A chance to meet old friends and acquaintances and to meet up with other contributors to the Mayhem site. Nice to put a face to the name. Competition classes were very good with a high standard of modelling. I would like to thank the Mayhem site for the posts I have put on for the above show. Also a big thanks to the organizing committee for an excellent weekend. Would imagine more photographs to follow from other visitors. Hope to see you all again next year and possibly some new clubs.

Here, here!
Thanks Ron1 and The Long Build, great photos.
Lovely to see Jimmy Wood's CSO SEAWELL . In My Humble Opinion (IMHO) one of the best model boats EVER built.

Martin, indeed, the seawell is a georgeous model, and if it were mine, i'd be frightenned to take it out incase of it being damaged, there is sooooo much detail there.

Just a short video I took of some of the stands and a bit of lake action, I thought it might be easier than photographing every model.. It's not Brilliant but gives you a flavour of the day, also at the end is a small demonstration of the amphibious vehicle, which seems like something to have fun with.

I Will also put together a slide show of all the pictures I took should you have some time to kill, once I have edited them all.

Yes I know I was working on it at the time you posted , thought I could insert it as a imbedded video so that it could be watched on this site rather than going to utube , the same as I have it on the Clubs website. Not happy about the image loss either on utube.

In order to allow Youtube videos, embedded Flash has to be allowed which ( to website hackers ) is a bit like a walking around a gorilla cage with a banana necklaces!

Ghost, The Seawell and the Ross Clarke are static models built by Jimmy Wood.

Looking at pics from both the shows, sadley sail does not seem to be as well represented as in previous years.

The long Build · « **Reply #47 on:** August 26, 2008, 01:24:55 am »

For You Tigertiger.
These are the ones I took , I am sure there were a few more but as you say not in any quantity.
