Norwich Gala Day

Great builds there Chris. Plenty of variation.

Despite the cold, it looks like a really nice turn out too.

Thanks for posting your great pictures.

Even more stunning models to look at :thumb2:

Some real crackers there Chris. Hugely impressive spread of subjects as well. I particularly love the Victorian steam launch..…was that one actually steam powered?
Pity about the weather…..hopefully better next time.

Some cracking ships on display Chris, loved your X floaty ship, superb

Delighted you had a great day out, looks a great lake
HI Bob m8ty yes there was a lot of models on display an the public loved them but since the council has put down double yellow line not as many people lookin as there used to be as nowhere out side the pond to park which is a shame really hope you ok both

YES Pete i think you ar right but its not always like this some days when we are sailing up there its bueatifull warm wind as some yrs back there were small trees if i remember rightly where our cars are now parked an they used to cut the wind down but i heard that the yahty guys complained as not enough wind so the coucil cut down the trees dont know if its true though

Chris

Thanks for posting the pictures. It looks like your had a great day despite the weather.

As I've said before, it takes modelling to a completely different level.

Thanks again.
