Hi every one
As a new member I'm not sure were to place my first post so if its in the wrong place I'm you will put me right.
I have been a modeler for many, many years, my sole interest being model aircraft and have built such models as ranging from sports bi-planes to a 108" Consolidated Catalina so my modeling skills are little above average. Having said that what I know about boats & boating can be written on a one sixth scale postage stamp. Now perhaps a decade ago I cut out a chunk of 4" x 2" added a sail and keel for my 3 year old grandson to tow along. last summer I carved out of a solid block the little boat for my seven year old grandson it sailed quite well, that I hope will appear as my aviator. being a dogged old man I like to do my own thing and decided to build a one meter yacht from scratch , yes I did read a couple of books after I had drawn an outline of my master piece. I could go on a bit more but its getting late so I'll just say good night for now.
