mmmm my words of wisdom are these

prepare for loads of swearing, cut fingers and 4 or 5 attempts later!!! (myself not being a sewing expert) if you dont try then you wont succeed.
On the plus side once its made theres no stopping you from making more JUST IN CASE you need a spare.

What sort of hovercraft are you building? and what do you intend to use for skirt material?

will help out where i can as ive been converted to boats for a year or so.

1:48th scale for my ships. Large enough to show gratuitous detail, small enough to stay married.

A good source of information on all things hovrcraft is Wiltshire Models, email [email protected]
They have been at Merstham Model Steam Show and Alfold Charity Model Boat Show for the past few years, we hope they will attend both again this year. Hope this information is of help.
