Is there a certain type of boat you are interested in i.e. trawler, tug, leisure etc just to narrow it down.

I have just bought one of the new ASD tugs from MMB (it arrived yesterday) The hull and wheel house ect is nicely moulded with just the flash to be removed and the fittings................... Well they are probably some the best I have seen!!!!! (in my limited experience) virtually no flash on them.

I spoke to Marks wife (can't remember her name) and she was very helpfull.

I will be making a start tonight and I am looking forward to getting it on the water (after seeing the superb video on his website)
Not looking forward to cutting out the wheelhouse windows, 22 I think, it keeps changing every time I count them!!!!    But I think it will look good when it is done as the fittings even include a captains chair and consoles.
