Model Boats  |  March 2015
"This issue includes a comprehensive photo feature by Colin Bishop for the December 2014 Model Engineer Exhibition, an event that was widely regarded as the best of recent years with in particular, more top-class model boats. Ron Rees has a major feature article for retro-models of Sea Princess and the classic Fire Boat of yesteryear. Dr. Marcus Rooks explores the use of rubber drive in model boats and Pete Whitehead describes his unusual outboard powered model. Anthony Addams visits the Reserve Collection of Ship Models held at Chatham Historic Dockyard and there is short photo feature about Brian King's new 1:96 scale HMS Velox model, which is well up to his usual high standard.
In Readers' Models, three enthusiasts describe their models and we do of course also have all the usual regular articles including Range Finder, BMPRS News, Flotsam and Jetsam, Boiler Room and a rather nice Gallery of European Tugs from David Walter, so I hope there is something here for everyone in these pages.
