The competition was keen and the model building was fun on Saturday. Congratulations to our winners: Jack - 1st, Paul - 2nd, Alan - 3rd.
The Iron Modeler competition subject turned out to be "Gunboat." Contestants had 4 hours to pick through the parts pile, design, and build their interpretation of a Gunboat. At the end of the competition the contestants voted on the winners.
Thank you to all who competed and to those who brought their own projects to work on for Model Building Day.
