May - June 2004 Meeting Photos:
Combined May & June as the DIY (Do It Yourself) Network was with our club shooting an episode of Radio Control Hobbies on Scale Model Boats with host Chris Chianelli. I'll let you know when the show is ready to air! Copies on DVD have been promised for those who can't get the DIY channel.

 |
| New Dumas "Mr. Darby" just about finished by Paul P. | DIY Crew setting up. Interesting Steady-Cam. | Carloads of folks are needed to get Chris on tape. |
 |
 |
 |
| Paul's Table. | A cruiser of Ted's being converted to a DVD Camera Boat by DIY. | I think they are shooting the Miss Adventure. |
 |
 |
 |
| The sky began to darken as the introduction shots were taken. | See the boat Chris is holding? I built that! (proud parent) | Then it began to rain... |
 |
 |
 |
| You get close when it rains this hard. | Stopped for an hour so shooting continued. | Long interview with Chris and Ted. Lots of stories to tell... |
 |
 |
 |
| One of the best paint jobs I've ever seen. Flawless woodwork. | DIY got some footage of Chris's tall ship. | Dave's new shirt. Granddaughter is the artist. |
 |
 |
 |
| Matt missed the first shoot because he was building this for a submarine memorial. | Nice detail. Unfortunately, he was unable to bring it along to show us. | He just made the deadline and had to ship right after these photos were taken. |
 |
 |
 |
| 2nd day of shooting. | Large crowd. 50+ boats. | Didn't get them all on film. |
 |
 |
 |
| Here are the four boats that this episode of Radio Control Hobbies is showcasing. | Chris's producer getting him pumped for the shoot. | Matt's table, without the sub, which was cruising at the time. |
 |
 |
 |
| Dave's lobster boat has a new skipper. | Looks like the "Gordon's Fisherman". | This is about half of the tables. Great day for sailing. |
 |
 |
 |
| Light overcast. No rain. No frequency fights either. As many as 14 boats in the water at once. | Ray setting Jean Ann free. | Frank's P-66 Crash Rescue Boat. |
 |
 |
 |
| Chris is holding the Elliott Bay Steam Launch with the boiler fired! | Quite professionally, he spins the flywheel and sets the boat into the water. | The new improved Midwest engine seems to have twice the horsepower of the older version. |
 |
 |
 |
| See the wake. Moving at a pretty good clip. | He then runs the Midwest "Down East Lobsterboat." | It had a pretty powerful motor in it as well. |
 |
 |
 |
| After the shoot, the show donated this boat to our club. | It will see lots of action in July at the C.U.R.E. Picnic! | The Midwest PT-109 cruising past the floating lighthouse. |
 |
 |
 |
| The rescue tug takes off for another run, tennis ball in tow. | This time bringing in Dean's Robbie. Quite a load. | A gift to his wife Sondra, Doug took 6 months to build this one. Took first place at Chattnooga for Best Scale RC. |
 |
 |
 |
| The Bimbo Boat is back! | Ray's duck waddled for the cameras. | The sun came out later in the day. |
 |
 |
 |
| Vac-U-Tow on 10 cells with the ballast lightened to keep water off of the deck. | Doug getting ready to water ski. | Closing shots. The dock got lots of camera time today. |
 |
 |
 |
| Casey's Booth Bay lobster boat complete with lobsters & baskets. Just a few details left. | Doug's AE Cruiser we saw at the night float. It too has only a few paint details left. | Casey has Paul's Dumas Shovelnose. During trials, 20 cells put it on its back. The cruiser took over rescue-duty. |
