Model Boats  |  Nov-18
Hello again and welcome to another busy edition of Model Boats magazine which as usual, includes a mix of military, civilian, electric, steam and sailing boats. We are very lucky that this ‘floaty’ hobby covers such a wide range of subjects and disciplines and I sometimes wonder how I’m ever going to gather it all together under one roof! On top of that, there is the pleasant distraction of viewing and sailing on the ‘real thing’ and one recent visit to the Historic Dockyard at Chatham highlighted how useful it can be to the modeller to immerse themselves amongst the very objects that they are trying to create in model form. What makes Chatham magical is that, within the space of a few yards, you can board a 19th Century sloop (HMS Gannet), a Cold War submarine (HMS Ocelot) and a Second World War vintage C-Class destroyer (HMS Cavalier). On top of that, you are immersed in history thanks to Chatham’s own history as a Royal Naval dockyard from the 16th Century through to its closure in 1984. In the meantime, please keep your contributions coming; I had a good response from my ‘call to arms’ last month. If there is something you would like to see in the magazine, please send me a message and I will see what I can do. This issue goes on sale 5 October 2018...don't miss it…..!
