What would you like to build?
My two choices would be:
the luxury yacht "A" owned by some Russian billionaire(400 ft long 4,900 tons 143 crew helicopter hanger, 2 30ft speed boats inboard, 6
cabins accommodating 14 people! Cost £400.000,000
And a visby  corvette
Don't think there will be plans around for either for a while
Will put some pics up tomorrow for those that don't know what the hell I'm on about

Which is which?

A big Steam Frigate to go with my Nautilus, The Abraham Lincoln from 20 000 Leagues Under The Sea. about 84" to 96" hull length, that would be nice, no plans to start that project any time soon. A suitable hull is available from Fleetscale though........hmm.

Which is which?

Sorry first one is the visby corvette Sweden
The second is named "A" after the wife of the billionaire owner. Russian coal mine owner

Stop press. My son wants to build a visby corvette. He's already worked out the scale 1/48 1.5 metres long. Spent hours looking for and saving photos. He's never built a boat before. What type of motor do you put in a 1.5 m boat?

1:6 scale true construction, ie. carvel full length teak planks, with loco boiler and scale Sissons engine. I have the boiler kit made up, just need to silver solder together, just finishing off my 1:12 scale steam pinnace first.
