    kit build easier but can be very expensive not much money myself but poverty is the mother of invention and it can be fun making parts from basicly junk lying around.check my boat for example not by any means perfect but o.k.

as for scratch builds, the closest I have done is Nord Icelandia, taking the hull of an old osv (thank you stavros) and turning it into a research ship.

there are some parts that I could have done better, but on the whole I like what I have done and as a project, it worked.
