I have decided to start a new project as I use to love making models mainly trucks and cars I thought I would attempt fromscratch a 1/16 scale model of My brothers boat DERWENT 6.I have cut her the floor plate and the middle plate will be cut out to make the insides correct size as well.
I may make it radio control yet but it will hopefully have lights etc that work.
The baseplate is 12ml marine ply as is the middle plate for extra strength The sides will be a thin marine ply on the base and probably balsa or thin ply for the cabin roof and top.
I am planning to make it as accurate as poss and will blog every time I add bits so the progress can be seen.
Also I want to see how long she takes from start to finish so far this little bit has taken about 2-3 hours.
As I now need to go for the wood I packed up for the day and am looking at tools as I want a dremel or similar to do the small details and am scouring the net for parts etc to help.
