Title: Simple Cruiser - First build.
Post by: Eurorider on July 02, 2016, 09:58:27 am

So after many years of procrastinating and life generally getting in the way I have decided its time......

Time to build my first model boat  :} .

Gonna start simple, my first build will be a Peter Bliss Cabin Cruiser from here (http://www.building-model-boats.com/rc-boat-plans.html).

So plans bought and printed, balsa bought from the Balsa Cabin (http://balsacabin.co.uk) (local to me) here we go. As its my first build any tips and advice will be greatly appreciated  :-)) .

The superstructure on that model looks very familiar...... http://www.slecuk.com/balsa-wood/Samurai-Electric-Boat-Kit-SLPR05.html (http://www.slecuk.com/balsa-wood/Samurai-Electric-Boat-Kit-SLPR05.html)
I shall have to assume that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
