They feel they it would only be right to find owners who would be able enjoy them, as indeed Paul would have appreciated. Regular readers will know that Paul built to very high standards indeed and most of the boats are fitted out internally in almost ready to run condition with top quality components, requiring only a suitable transmitter (which may be available separately). Some of the models include ‘maintenance’ packs with spare parts and touch up paints. See this post in the the For Sale section for details: That thread is locked but you can comment on it here if you wish. There is also an album here: https://www.modelboats.co.uk/albums/member_album.asp?a=59021 Colin Edited By Colin Bishop on 11/04/2023 16:58:46 |

Always the same conundrum with second hand models, especially ones of this standard. |

We welcome well written contributions from Website members on almost any aspect of Model Boating with a particular emphasis on practical hints, tips, experience and builds.
In order to maintain a consistent standard and format, all suggestions should first be sent to me by Personal Message for approval in principle. Only a very limited amount of time is available for editing contributions into a suitable format for placing on the website so it is important that the material is well presented, lucid and free from obvious spelling errors. I think it goes without saying that contributions should be illustrated by appropriate photos. I shall be happy to give advice on this.
The Member Contribution area offers space for short informative mini articles which would not normally find a place in Model Boats magazine. It is an opportunity for Website Members to freely share their expertise and experience but I am afraid that virtue is its own reward as there is no budget to offer more material recompense!
I look forward to receiving your suggestions.
