Recently (about 3 years ago) I bought a set of plans for the Paudit, I had built it once before from free plans in Model Boat magazine. I loved it back then and decided it would be a great idea.
Now the guy on ebay said they were 3/4" = 1', turns out he was a little bit off and the plans were smaller than they should be.
Having had my heart set on a 1:16 scale Medway tug I decided to customise it and make it my own, in the same scale. It is now the Lady Lou, named for SWMBO, which has pleased her and now I am allowed to spend on my fleet.
Here it is when I realised it was the wrong scale, and still Balsa.
Here is the start of my foray into styrene construction on what is now the Lady Lou.
Here is how she currently sits, awaiting a fine day for some more paint and the much needed electronics that have now been settled on.
The Plaudit build has also changed one more time since I have resized the plans and done more research, she will now be the Plashy.
