HMS VanguardMay 13, 2021David Newsom writes: I much appreciate the offer to put out a plcture of the Vanguard to see if there might be a smidgeon of interest by any warship modeller. There are 4 low drain motors and the radio with it is a 2.4 MHz Planet 7. The model is 1/128 scale and measures 76 inches by 10 inches. Because I am 83 I find cannot use it; it’s too large for me now. I originally bought it from a club member of the Portsmouth modellers, just 3 years ago, sentimental reasons, because I served aboard Vanguard at the start of my Naval career! David is looking for an offer in the region of £650, he lives in the Portsmouth area and the buyer will need to collect. Anyone interested, please contact him by email: davidjohnnewsom@gmail.com...

Free Offer: “The Beast”September 13, 2019Having had various unsatisfactory offers for his model of the John Fitch paddle boat, “The Beast”, Mike Sheppard is now offering the model to Club members “free to a good home”! It will need collecting from near Haverfordwest in South Wales*. The model is just under 5 foot in length and weighs about 50lbs. It is fully functional with motor, radio transmitter, a stand and two wheel trolley. To avoid breakages, it needs two people place it in water. In operation the model provides a unique and entertaining sight… watch the video which was filmed at Setley Pond! *(if a SRCMBC member is interested in owning the model but unable to collect it, I may be able to arrange for its collection – Peter Taylor info@srcmbc.org.uk ) The model is based on the first paddle steamboat designed by John Fitch in 1786 in the USA. Twelve vertical oars were connected to a steam engine in such a way that they dipped in the water for a stroke and were then lifted out and carried forwards for the next stroke. A photo of this model is displayed in the John Fitch Steamboat Museum in Warminster, Pennsylvania, USA. John Fitch later developed a cargo carrying paddle steamboat with stern mounted paddles. Price: …see above Please contact Mike on 01437 760021 if you would like more information...
