Just joined the Forum today and I'm still trying to work my way around the site, as computers are not my first subject. Apparently it's helpful if we introduce ourselves. I've just completed my 30th boat model, a 1/10 scale model of a Dutch Damen Stan patrol, which works out at 63 inches in length. All my models are about that length, as being the largest model I can work on in my shed. Most are made of metal, in this case reclaimed sheets of 0.047" aluminium. I have built 7 GMC DUKWS, several to museum standard. I used to sail at Verulamium but on my last visit there was no water, only 2 feet of mud. St Albans have done next to no maintenance in decades and blame everyone else, ducks, geese,people feeding wildfowl, water companies, river authorities etc. The possibility of sailing at Hemel is interesting, but there must be parking facilities as my models are too heavy to carry more than a few yards. I can post a few pictures when I have worked out how to do it. I'm currently working on an RAF Range Safety Launch, Thornycroft 43ft c1955, at 60 inches which is 1:8.5 scale, and am gathering info and pictures to help me.
