The magazine and plans for the ferry arrived today, so now I can begin to work out what I need to make a start on the build. You all know by now that when it comes to working with wood I'm pretty sort of useless. I can't even draw a straight line on the stuff, let alone cut one, so I plan to use as much plasticard sheet, strip and rod as I can possibly get away with.
GG did give me his permission to alter the plan as I need to, so the first change will the addition of a bow rudder. That, along with the bow thruster and independent motor control, should make the ferry as manoeuvrable as the full size ones are. Hopefully I can add working lights(internal and external)plus sound effects of some sort...looks as though next months pay cheque will be going straight into Mr ActIon's bank account....again.
