Renovation

Renovation

Compared with model aircraft, which can have a short lifespan, model boats last much longer with many ending up stored in attics until they are rediscovered later in life. These models are often very well made and can be adapted to modern radio and propulsion giving the model a new lease of life. The club can offer advice on the renovation and recommissioning of these models which for some can restore both memories and family history.

The initial point of contact is Terry Thorpe whose email address is terry.33cway@hotmail.com

Each renovation will require a different approach so it would be useful if you could take some pictures of the model together with an idea of what you want the finished model to do and email these to Terry first.
