Model Boats Magazine January 2018 Vorige editie

Whether your interest be warships, steam, sail, nostalgia, scale or a healthy mix of all, the January issue of Model Boats promises something of everything starting with the first of two part feature on MBD’s semi-kit of the Thames tug Falconbrook. Dave Brumstead’s step-by-step build of the late ‘50s river workhorse precedes our S.S. Mullogh series where, this month, Phil Button can be found planking the deck and adding some home-spun fittings. The quality scale content continues as Dave Wooley turns his attention to detailing the missile tubes of his OSA 2 project, Marcus Rooks returns to walk us around his completed, and utterly inspiring, HMS Dreadnought and, courtesy of Chris Drage, we have a tale of two Arctic convoys, beautifully represented in 1:700 scale. But wait! We didn’t write ‘No.1 for Sail & Scale’ on the cover for nothing, indeed there’s sail content here, there and everywhere, from our cover story of the wool clipper Mount Stewart to a bottle boat race, coverage of the M-Class ranking event and a review of Billing’s quick-build fishing cutter Dana. Add some steam, a bit of nostalgia, a traditional wooden speed boat review and, as you can see, there’s much to enjoy.
