...and what a "Show and Tell" it was!
Dave Nelson started out with his schooner "Nancy" for 2 years in the making
and in superb detail - even the smallest one.

Gerry Beck is working on a model of the "Frontenac", the first vessel built
on the Upper Lakes in 1676. He also showed and explained how he builds
small boats. In this case a small life boat.

Mike Ng showed his latest two creations in card stock.
One was dedicated to and named after his daughter "Stephanie".
This was his own design. The other is a scale model 1:360 of
the luxury yacht "Triumph" built in Taiwan, the 75th of 100 built.

Next we admired Jared Fein's "Flying Fish" which is progressing beautifully.

Ray Peacock explained the way he built the "Ontario", also in great detail.

Malcolm Hann is right into a model of a German Schnellboat S-100
and explains the three propeller arrangement he is working on at the present time.

The host and Satic Captain, Norm Perkins, shows us the progress of
the Iceland Coast Guard cutter MS "Odinn" which originally was built in 1960.
Norm has a special connection to Iceland. He was shipwrecked in 1943
on an island off the coast of Iceland during a storm.

And last but not least, Don Burton shows us a great start to a model built
the "Bread and Butter" way after a Scottish Diesel Fishing Skiff.
He does it very well: the building as well as the explaining.
