I'm not sure about new boy, being 70 years of age, but very new to this site, and pretty new to model boat building. I used to build and fly rc scale and fun air craft. But, as many know, in a fraction of a second months of work (and money) ends up in a plastic bin liner.
Boats, at least the ones I will be building, are more sedate but still offer the same challenges.
Currently i'm finishing off a Billings FD10 Yawl. The next project is a Mountfleet Models Highlander.
This will be my first major scale model boating build and ANY INPUT WILL BE WELCOME.
