Greetings, fellow model boat builders. I started a little over a year ago, had the desire to start a hobby. Since boating was my passion as a younger man, that enticed me to start building models. I invested in books, mags, you name it trying to get some info on "scratch building." I finally bought some boat plans and got others off the internet. I've built 4 boats, so far, working on a "cruiser" type from a PT boat plan, still in the early stages of deciding what I want to do and how to do it.
I'm 65, retired, disabled and want to keep my mind active, so, I draw, paint and build model boats (most of my models are works of my own design).
Also, I've built some "outboard motors" which I've installed on my models. These were taken from drawings, cut out from balsa, somewhat detailed, painted and have enjoyed the process. I've attempted to do interiors on a couple of my models, of my own design, but forgot to make them visable, except through the windows.
When I figure out how to post them, I'll share pictures of my model boats.
