Model Boats  |  June 2014
This issue includes a full-size complimentary Free Plan for Eccleshall, designed by Glynn Guest. This is an easy to build semi-scale model of a paddle tug. We conclude Dermot Curnyn's unique laser-cut PT 18 project and Paul Thomason, a stalwart of the Model Boats Website Forum, discusses how plans may become available in the future as conveniently sized downloads that can be printed on domestic printers. We also welcome Robin Buckland to this issue with an article on the static marine plastic kit scene, many of them being suitable for radio control conversion.
Readers' Models includes Andrew Cope's scale sail r/c gaff rigged cutter, a model he built in barely a week and we have the usual regulars of Range Finder, Boiler Room and Flotsam & Jetsam in which John Parker investigates the major contribution made to our hobby by Leslie Ashwell-Wood. We are pleased to welcome again Craig Dickson, from the BMPRS, who describes what goes into a model racing catamaran.
So as usual, I hope there is something for everyone here who participates in this great hobby of ours.
