Model Boats  |  October 2015
"This issue includes a Full-Size Complimentary Free Plan worth £12.50 for a Landing Craft Support vessel. The plan has been drawn by Glynn Guest and makes for an unusual and interesting model project and as is usual with his plans, comes with step by step comprehensive building instructions. In addition, Jeremy Bull restores Ellise, a free running vintage steam model, the project starting after an unexpected email.
We welcome Peter Charlton to Readers' Models with his model of Sapphire, a steam yacht based on an Deans Marine hull, but built using the plans for Greta drawn by James Pottinger. Peter's aim was to build the model using as much as possible from his 'Bits Box' and stock material, just to see how inexpensive it could all be, and I am sure you will be impressed with the final result. Also in Readers' Models, David Hawes relates the 11 year project of another fine model, his nephew's K.D. Perkasa.
We have all the usual regular articles including Range Finder, where Dave Wooley has the first part of a superb Photo File for HMS Biter, a P2000 class training and patrol craft that would make an excellent model. In addition we have in-depth photo reports from the CADMA Northern Model Boat Show and the 2015 International Mersey River Festival that had support from the local model boat clubs promoting the hobby to a wide general public audience.
