Members' Adverts
Adverts are in order of submission, newest first, however the left hand index gives an alphabetic menu. Where a boat model is being offered for sale by an SRCMBC member there may well be more photos of it in our Photo Galleries - look under the seller's name.
This page was started in September 2008, and since then we've had sales of boats, steam engines, workshop tools, historic magazines, RC gear, and much more. It's worth keeping an eye on these pages!
N.B. this is a free service offered to SRCMBC Members for private (i.e. non-commercial) model boat related sales. To place an Advert please read our Guidance on Advert submission. Members are encouraged to also exploit other possible sales routes such as ebay and the Boat Yard:Marketplace/Sales/ category on ModelBoatMayhem forum (if you are a " Full Mayhemer")

Refurbishment of Scottish Fishing Boat
Mike Swain has contacted me with the following message...
"A friend of mine has a model ship that he would like refurbished.
It is a model of a Scottish fishing boat. It is about 1 metre in length. It is constructed from wood, and is complete with Radio control mechanism. The owner doesn't intend to sail it, but would like it restored to a state where it can be put on display.
"I have seen the model, and there is no major structural damage, but is somewhat battered with work to be done on the superstructure. He claims to have kept everything that has fallen off. It also needs repainting.
"I am wondering if you or any of the members of your model boat club would be interested in undertaking this refurbishment. I would be pleased to put anyone interested in touch with the owner, who is situated in Hartney Wintney, so that they could assess the task and estimate what they would charge."

Anna 2
This boat has been decommissioned (but can be seen in use in the photo galleries). The decking and forward mast is missing, and there is slight damage to the hull, but all the main bits are there: wheelhouse, propshaft, propeller, 6 volt motor, rudder winch. ABS hull, length 700 mm, width 260 mm. Would make a nice rebuild for someone maybe.
1:20 scale North Sea trawler.
Price: £50 ono,
