Can anyone point me in the right direction or give help on starting my first scratchbuild?

Just completed my first kit and now want to build a TID tug which I understand is a fairly easy first build?

I have the plans but need some help in getting started with the building of the hard chine hull.

thanks for any and all advice.

Great build of your TDI Stavros.  Good call about scaling up too.

I'll be a lot happier once I get my head around the chine hull construction and the "plan for beginners" is helping - thanks Barriew.

Once I get the first parts down I should be fine - bit like a toddler learning to walk

Or go the easy way out Kingston Mouldings. Ammo on here has got 2Tid hulls
