The Russians take to the water for a patrol. Both
models are from members in Canberra. Peter Cole
built the fine KRIVAK III Class Frigate whilst Bob Murdock
built the slightly faster Missile Corvette. |
The Indian and British Navies practice boarding
operations, or just swapping cuisine. A touch of beef
vindaloo for a pork pie and a warm beer. |
Mr Pew sets up his new Irish Fisheries Protection vessel. |
INS GODAVARI looks very impressive. This class is an
interesting mix with a modified British hull and machinery,
Russian weapons and fire control and Dutch radar systems. |
GODAVARI is joined by several other models including a British
Frigate and a new Arliegh Burke Class DDG under construction. |
The Russians decide to join the party. |
Karl Maurer from the ACT sets up his Type IX B U-boat model
for a sail. Karl is one of the leaders in the
building of operating submarine models in
Australia. He has also taken his models overseas
to regattas in Europe. |
Some of the crowd trying to keep dry and warm on the day. |
USS PINKNEY being built by Graham Pack. The white colour
is the colour of the styrene sheet the superstructure of this
model is made of. Most modellers use this material
for their construction now.. |
HMS MOWHAWK built by Dave Manning. This is a fine
model and sails very well for a narrow hulled
vessel. |
GODAVARI at speed. |
HMAS VENDETTA built by Phil Somerville. |
Ships that pass in the night, sorry day!. |
Allan Pew sets up his new model. |

crew. |

Canberra. |
U-124 heads out looking for unsuspecting prey. |
Just because Allan can do it doesn't mean you can Michael. |
Allan looks on as Michael Brown tries his new "in
contact" radio. This version saves on
batteries. |
Hopefully relations between these two are good or this could
get nasty! |
"Dive, Dive, Dive" |
Still going! |
Only the scope still up. |
Shane Doyle's HMAS PERTH sails past at speed. |
PERTH rocking and rolling. |
The fleet out at sea. |
