Our front cover shows Terry Allen’s Bugatti Type 57C Atlantic Coupe of 1935-38 parked in his drive at home. Terry has swept the boards this year and walked off with the top price at the CAM Exhibition in France and the Alec Issigonis Shield at Skegness. To cap that, he joined us at Lyne in October and walked off with the Bill Roberts Memorial Trophy. This is modelling of the highest standard and is a truly great work of art.
£7.00
Our front cover shows Gregg Worwood’s version of Stephenson’s Rocket. This was exhibited at the Midhurst model engineering exhibition in February. Unfortunately, due to a shortage of table space he was only able to set the Rocket up on the rails and the accompanying carriages had to be shown below the exhibition tables.
£7.00
Our front cover shows Pete Evans Marion Bucket Excavator that was joint winner of the Runnymede Meccano Shield at our June meeting. A full write-up of these models appears in this issue on page 27. We are indebted to Pete Wood for producing the front cover.
£7.00
An original copy of this issue from unused stock.
Our front cover shows Neil Bedford’s Hannover CLiii aircraft flying over the English countryside. If you can recognise the castle below then it would be safe to assume that the pilot has lost his way to the south coast! Once again we are indebted to Pete Wood for producing this cover. A write-up on this model appears on page 13 of this issue. The model was awarded 10th place for the Alec Issigonis Shield at Skegness in July.
£7.00
Our front cover shows Pete Wood’s Lamborghini Countach cutting up a corner on a country road. The last article, covering the bodywork, appears in this issue.
£7.00
Our front cover shows Colin Bull’s interpretation of the Laxey Waterwheel on the Isle of Man. This model was awarded the John Linder Memorial Trophy at Meccanuity 2016 and the Runnymede Modelling Shield 2016. A write-up of the model appears on pages 51–53 of this issue.
£7.00
Our cover shows the front of Pete Evans’ wonderful model of a Brooklands Garage with suitably attired 1930s gentlemen added by Pete Wood. This model won the Issigonis Shield at Skegness in 2016 as well as the Bill Roberts Memorial Trophy at our June meeting. A write-up of this model appears on pages 32–36 of this issue.
£7.00
Our cover shows the Andy Knox model of the Kempton Park Great Engine superimposed over the original. Once again we have to thank Pete Wood for this computer imagery which was also used on the advertising posters prior to our exhibition there in November of last year. The original photograph was taken in 2015 when we exhibited our models in the lower area.
£7.00
The front cover of this issue shows Richard Payn’s Sobemai Balance Crane in a dockyard setting. Richard was awarded the Runnymede Shield for this model at our June meeting. It was also awarded 2nd place for the Issigonis Shield award at SkegEx in June.
£7.00
The front cover of this issue shows Peter Goddard’s Manchester Ship Canal Lock Gate Fitter. This was awarded the Bill Roberts Memorial Trophy at the October 2017 meeting of the Guild. Once again we are indebted to Pete Wood for the computer imagery showing the model sailing down the Manchester Ship Canal.
