Model Boat Convention 2019 (Haydock Park)

Chris Behan's X craft putting on  an impeccable display:









Ian Oldham and his nice model of the K class which won the "Best on Stand" prize. Congratulations!







Ian's solution to the perennial Charioteer's "clammy death" suit! (Balloon rubber stuck on with cyano.)



My CSS Pioneer demonstrating a bit of historical re-enactment!? (Despite the shrouded prop the "towed bomb" cable fouled the prop. Always remember never go astern or stop with a towed bomb!)





Chris Behan's multiple prize winning collection on his stand.



This was on sale in the Chandlery. £400 for a plastic kit conversion seemed a little too much!













Adam Slater showing his impressive kit of the "Flying Sub" from Mountfleet Models:





Paul Brassington's nicely engineered gas valves and air pumps:



Paul's choice of gas propellant (non-flammable):





The show was a bit quiet but we had a great time. Many thanks to the organisers for putting on another show. (It's 30th Anniversary.)

Definitely a weird combination of models on this video (a general sailing session). Made me laugh anyway:
