• Hovercraft: Two articles from Pete Bryant; a link to a video of Fran Oakey's Griffin 600; and an account of building a Griffin 600 from Richard Reith.
• Paul's Rope Making Machine: make your own model ropes - or simply learn how ropes are made; Paul Nixon shows you how!
• Peter's Toolbox: tips from Peter Oram's newsletter series.
• Peter Taylor's Stumblings: including a smoke generator, converting to 2.4GHz, thoughts on photographing model boats, and one way of making model boat name-plates.
