Oh, the joys of vacation and catching up on some video editing. Here’s some video from November 29. I trimmed it down to focus on the 1:96 scale ships present.

• USS Copahee (CVE-12) aircraft carrier scratch built (1:96 scale) by David Manley (Not shown in video, but this incredible R/C ship features a functional airplane elevator)
• C-Tractor kit bashed Dickie Toys tugboat by Mark Weber
• USS Nicholas (DD-449) built (1:96 scale) by Martin Bunch

Music featured in video:
