G'day Para,
Haven't started yet. Still trying to decide which way to go. Only yesterday I got the drawings out to have another look, and they are still on the dining room table. ( No lady in the house any more to object to clutter on the table! )
Too many unfinished projects from before I had to leave the model boats to run my model railway manufacturing business which lasted 27yrs, and still happens part time. When your hobby becomes a business, no more hobby! I was also producing model boat parts in urethane and whitemetal for Ron Burchett in Canada.
I also have a nice little 24" Canadian F/G Trawler hull/deck and house called the "Leah Marie" from Ron Burchett, but can't find any images or details relating to this as a model or the real thing, so if I go that way it will have to be a generic model based on Canadian trawler images of a similar type. Some of my current models are in 1:24 ( my favoured scale ) and as I'm getting on a bit they are becoming too heavy to handle. They run full car batteries as well, so it's all getting too hard.
Maybe it's time to look at smaller models!
Best wishes from down under,
Ian
