Thanks for the replies gents, but to go up in size would not be a cost I could go to or justify.
I suppose the bottom line is that I am not one who enjoys operating models, I enjoy the building, I see little interest after the first outing of seeing my creation actually working.
And sitting there yesterday afternoon at Warwick it dawned on me, what can you do with a boat, I watched as some chap with his rather nice fishing boat and he was nearly asleep as it went around , around and around, so sorry that is not for me.
On reflection I should have visited the show first before opening wallet.
Attach a photo of a previous model project, boat constructed from a card, just to show that I can actually build models.
Regards,
Roy.
