Vaery nice models and your club looks very well organized. Thank you for posting.

Hi Roy,

My wife speaks German with a excellent accent, so the locals often assume she is German/Austrian,
We have a place in Austria, and I love the Country, we were planning to retire there but leaving the EU has destroyed that dream.

Hi, nice to know the modellers are out there. My German used to get me around but just do not use it now. I am pursuing my goal of 100+ years of age so things are starting drop to off in the meantime!
My son is fluent and my D-i-L is a German national so rely on them.

It looks like that lake has a semi-permanent harbour which is very nice but not practical here.

My take on several visits to Germany was that engineers were more respected there, my son often being refered to as Herr Doctor and when he wanted to rent a house it put him at the head of the queue. (that was in 1993, Moved on since then).
In the UK it seems to be just money.
But the point I am making is that in Germany a skill is respected but here, as seen in a recent TV series all a bit of a joke.

I have never understood why football watching is so popular and fishing as well. I think fishing was the genesis of Fake News so has a lot to answer for!😁

Hi Roy,
Scanning the web site again I found that the last obvious update was 2021, and it looks like they had lost a few members due to Covid related issues.

The number of members is currently stabilizing again and has 36 members at the beginning of 2021.
(Derzeit stabilisiert sich die Mitgliederzahl wieder und hat Anfang 2021 einen Stand von 36 Mitgliedern.)

Nice but 4 years ago, so much has changed since then.

I enjoy videos of model boats from various places. Graham White (UK), Subwaterfilm (Germ), PirateFleetAU (Aussie), and many others. I have some on my YouTube subscriptions list for recent updates. Also have a few individuals on that list, those that have some great ideas.

One of these days I will get around to the links on the model-boats.com web site. Thanks for the German link!
