hi, just thought you would like to see my 9 year old daughter's first model boat build based on hal harrison's hms romper. she did most of the work (with a little help and guidance from me!!!) and she is very proud (as i am) of her first effort. hope you like it. mark

Great effort.

My five year old is slowly getting the boating bug.

Next on our slipway is a boat for Barbie & Ken.

That was the last kit I ever built, went to a show and there were 7 Bugsia 3,s  6 of them did not sail right, every one kept asking why does yours sail as good as that, because I had built it like it said in the instructions was my answer, some had put in bigger motors or batteries, as fromthere I have always scratch built. so keep saving your money, and doing your paper round and you could soon be building some thing like IRON DUKE, best of luck with your modelling.ron h

Here's one my son built from a PBM Kit, He's 14 and it was his first attempt at r/c after building numerious Airfix, Revell and Tamiya kits. He needed very little help, only in sanding the hull which he decided to sub-contract to me!

I agree, it's nice to see youngster's building models like the ones seen on this topic. Every encouragement should be given to any young person who want's to become part of the model boat fraternity.

I'm just about to start my first build at the age of 48. If the results
are half as good as the examples I've just looked at then I'll be
delighted.
