IG Schiffsmodellbau Pirmasens — International Model Boat Show on the Eisweiher

The Eisweiher as a Model Boat Hub

For years, IG Schiffsmodellbau Pirmasens has used the Eisweiher as its natural venue. The Pirmasens lake offers the ideal water surface to experience RC model boats in full action: from small sailboats to large freighter and cruise ship replicas, and special vehicles. The international show attracts participants from Germany and abroad to Pirmasens and is a classic event in the club's year.

RC Model Boats in Full Action

On the Eisweiher, the model builders demonstrate the play possibilities of their remote-controlled ships. Maneuvers, convoys, and demonstrations of individual models form the core of the event. Spectators experience up close how the boats move on the water — a different world from a static exhibition in a hall.

RC Truck Parcours and Crawler Course

In addition to the ship models, the IG presents an RC truck parcours and a crawler course. These two disciplines complement the boat program with land-based activities and showcase the breadth of modern RC model building. Crawlers — all-terrain climbing models — master obstacles with impressive precision. Truck models, with their detailed cabins and trailers, fascinate with their attention to detail.

Eisweiher in Flames — The Fire Show

On Saturday evening, the spectacular highlight follows: Eisweiher in Flames. A fire show with pyrotechnic effects transforms the lake into an atmospheric stage and offers spectators a visual highlight. This addition to the program shows that the IG combines classic model building with event elements, thus appealing to a broader audience.
