Our favorite modeling subjects ?
So, what type of ships do we most like to make models of? We can each get a fairly good idea based on what we see on the water at our local club. There are certain subjects much more prevalent than others.
So, I started to go through photographs on Mayhem from a recent and very well supported event. I recorded a tick for each type in the first picture, then again for the second etc. No doubt many may be repeated instances of the same vessel appearing more than once. However, after going through a page and a half of the photos there are some obvious trends that stick out a mile.
• 1 Duck, 1 Viking longboat
• 2 Dingy
• 3 Submarine, 3 Hovercraft
• 4 Paddle steamer, 4 Canal Boat
• 7 Passenger Ferry
• 11 Aircraft Carrier
• 12 Sailing Ship
• 14 Lifeboat
• 17 Other large Warships
• 26 Fishing Boat
• 34 Motor Launch, MTB etc
• 61 Freighter, Cargo Ship
• 217 Tugs and tug towed vessels
Does approximately 50% being tugs sound par for the course?
