Ahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The bouys are back in tow...N!
That looked like an interesting thread development that kinda got lost in the reinstatement of the TT section...
When does a 'TOY' become what most accept as being a 'normal' model boat.
By that I dont mean whats simply popular at the time and can be elevated to full 'model' status, if yu get my meaning.
In my view....(stand back)...the Dickie IS a toy boat, BUT is worthy of spending some time on, with the result having the chance of looking very smart.
The little RNLI boat is much the same...a toy, BUT has possibilities.
Springers ?, not a toy and having seen pics of the real things, very much a normal model boat, however the wide range of very amusing variations on these can float her gently into the 'novelty' class of model boats....gotta be better than that bl***y duck!!!
So, how about a list on Martins main page of candidates that are suitable for conversion ?
A poll on which boat is a toy or not, may well come across as 'slagging off' someones pride and joy, but the light hearted discussion for which this forum is famous is what keeps us coming back....well me anyway.
