This issue includes a full-size Free Plan designed by Glynn Guest for Skimmer 5/600, complete with comprehensive building instructions and advice.In addition, David Heaps describes his fully functioning semi-submersible model of a heavy-lift ship and Ron Rees' continues with Part Two of the construction of his unique model of the Botnia Marine Targa 37 Police Launch, the fantastic plan for it now available from MyHobbyStore.Dave Wooley went to Harrogate for the 2014 National Model Engineering and Modelling Exhibition, an event that has a considerable marine modelling input and his pictures tell the story.We also have all the usual regular articles, including a very nice HMS Vindictive from one of our Belgian subscribers in Readers' Models.Alvaston Pirates are a new club and Phil Button has a report from their rain-soaked official opening day.A reminder that the Model Engineer Exhibition is being held again in December 2014 at Sandown Park and this is an opportunity for model boat builders to enter the marine competition and perhaps win an award at this prestigious international event.Contact details and forms for model entry may be obtained from Mike Law, contact details in Compass 360, but they will also be printed in the forthcoming November issue of this magazine.Paul Freshney - Editor
