Les, This was not meant to put you off - I was just just having a 'pop' at myself, as that is what people call me. I agree with Jim's comments, but the site you found was interesting and alongside both the plans and photos would help you look and 'explore' at what you have in front of you. A forum like this then lets you ask the questions and look at the answers and from them take your way forward. Please ask away, seriously we really do want to help and encourage all boat builders, especially on the lifeboat front. I'm attaching the stern view of my friend's Severn Class with it's working outer transom trim planes, but remember this is by no means his first model boat build. We're always learning, and I would not have seen the site if you had not brought it to our attention. Have a look at the Rhyl Mersey lifeboat build under 'Lifeboats', this gives a lot of detailed attention to ways of scratch building the various parts - an interesting build and educational too. I've just finished running a five year course at my home and workshop for the 'over sixties model boat builders' and have learnt as much, if not more, than those that signed up to it!! Much was in the preparation for each weeks topic. So please don't be put off, we'll look forward to hearing and hopefully seeing your build and be supportive in the progress.
By the way, who is Big Ada in the MBA-Dover - I could guess at a few! See you on the 2nd of December!!
Regards to all, Kim
