Run Powered Scale Models

All models constructed are a scaled down version of a real ship. The model is then fitted out for radio control and operates on the water.

At Metro Marine Modellers we construct models for fun and to museum quality. Building a model to work on the water is more about model engineering, having fun while we do it and having a great day at the pond.

Time: 10:00 am – 3:00 pm
Location: Mel Lastman Square
Date: September 13th
