| Thank you for the exceptionally warm welcome. I'm planning on building this monster in my converted garage so I have to be concious of how it will need to be backed out through the kitchen window when its finished! That will limit the hull depth to about 20 inches (Based on my fitting superstructure outside). I'm also looking at doing a LOT of fine superstructure detail. I was rather hoping to do it 1/12th scale but will have to see what that means in real dimension terms before I decide. Still very much in the planning stage (as it has been for 2-3 years now...).
I really got grabbed by the idea of having an outboard engine let into the hull- on a US website. Anyone else done that? My original thoughts were toward twin electric marine engines powered by car batteries- the engines would have probably been windscreen wiper motors... any thoughts, anyone? |
