Model Boats at Saltwell Park
The model boat club at Saltwell invited their Tynemouth colleagues over for the day, so there was a good turn out of models this Sunday. The two boats that caught my attention were both based upon local prototypes.
A small fishing boat based upon a coble style hull, I presume that the registration indicates a North Shields based vessel.
Charles Parsons' famous Turbinia, the prototype of which resides in Newcastle's Discovery museum.

Amazing photos with fantastic ship models. Great job.
I also have several such photos in my blog: http://rc-boatfanatic.blogspot.com/
Thanks for looking Kosmas.
I am not into model boats, but I looked up your blog and was impressed with your model of the fishing boat, and the idea to mount a camera on it.
