Hi Octo and welcome to Mayhem's great model boating club.

1:12 scale seems to be the fashion lately. We would love to see any photo's you may take of your build, so keep us informed and post away.

Cheers

Ken

I built a coble from orion. Heres the build - www.danwalker.co.uk/boats.html

Hope it may be of some use to you and good luck with the build. I look forward to seeing the progress.

Hi Octo,
I started a 1/12 scratch coble some time ago, got frightened, and so started a 1/12 Speedline RNLI Tamar kit instead. Now I know real fear! ...but the coble will have to wait. However it will get built one day, so welcome, this is a great forum, and I look forward to your pictures,
Chris
