Hello one and all...
I am new here and to Model Boats in general. I have been modelling for some time but my chosen subject to date has been Railways. Up until early this year I was scratch building G scale locos and stock for my garden line. After a modelling break over the summer I have now joined my Dad and started my first Boat. He is a seasoned model boater with several model slipway kits under his belt. His boats can be found
http://petesboats.blogspot.com So just a month ago I purchased a fibre glass hull from Ebay and set to work. The hull is 43" long with a beam of 14" and as per my usual style I am freelancing a model from a collection of pictures. The general theme is a small fishing boat/workboat.
Over the month I have progressed to a basic model which we test sailed yesterday, just to make sure that it was "sea worthy" before investing to much time!
Most of the steps to date have been documented on my blog
