Well, I've never really been into modeling, other than just a little stab at it in my pre-high school youth.
I had a 4'x8' HO railroad layout with some hills, trees & grass, along with a few plastic kit buildings that I put together. Fun times. Even subscribed to Model Railroader magazine. I also made a number of badly assembled Revell cars & aircraft. Well, I now have the time and space to do it up right. And I now have a much bigger supply of patience and can afford the proper tools... So, the first project is a Skipjack wooden sailboat. This one is NOT for use on water, it's for display only. However, if things go well, the next one will have RC capabilities and will (hopefully) float. I stared at this box over the last 4 months while getting my courage ready: Attachment: skipjack01.jpg And this is where I am as of this evening: Attachment: skipjack02.jpg You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. _________________ Jay The Right to Buy Weapons Is the Right to Be Free |

I aspire to make small row boats when I retire. I like your model idea as a place to start.

Love it
I've been thinking about getting an RC sailboat now that I'm in a landlocked state with little sailing _________________ You may be right, I may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic you're looking for |
