Your models
More of your brilliant work showcased
ith summer finally here and
with more of us able to get
out and about again, I must
say a big thank you to the kind folks
at Hobbies (www.hobbies.co.uk)
for donating the Carson Ready to
Run 2.4Ghz R/C Race Shark up for
grabs in this month’s prize draw
(see pages 10-11).
While the pages of this magazine
tend to focus on modeller’s own
brilliant builds, we certainly don’t
want to dismiss the RTR side of the
hobby and by doing so exclude
those less confident in their skills or
who perhaps simply don’t have the
time to invest but still want to get out
on the water and have some of fun.
Equally, as the Racing Shark is
described as being suitable for
those aged 8+, we think this
cool-looking, eye-catching,
(how screamingly ‘70s’ is that
orange!) model would be a very
exciting first hands-on R/C model
boat experience for children
and teens.
I know I probably keep banging
on about this, but the future of the
hobby totally depends on getting
the next generation engaged and
involved, so I think it’s vital that
we all do our bit to encourage this
at every given opportunity.
We would absolutely love to
feature more young model boat
enthusiasts/modellers in the
magazine, so if you’re reading
and this applies to you, or indeed
to a family member or someone
you know, don’t be shy –
please get in touch.
Of course, for those of us who
grew up in far simpler times, with
no video games, social media,
mobile phones,
etc,
there was
probably far more incentive to
get creative and crafty in order
to entertain ourselves. But that
was then, and this is now, so I very
much agree with Dave Wooley’s
comments in this month’s MB Q&A
about the importance of embracing
innovative new technology as a way
of increasing the hobby’s appeal
amongst the young. In doing so,
there’s a natural inter-generational
synergy, as ‘Boomers’ have a wealth
of traditional skills to pass on, while
‘Millennials’ can usually teach most
of us old dogs some valuable new
tricks in terms of all things digital!
As always, your thoughts on this
subject, or for that matter any of
the topics featured on the pages
to follow, will be most welcome.
Enjoy your read!
