| That's a lot of good stuff here and I thank you for it. With the 1/450 scale Airfix kit and the 1/250 scale kit with the magazine AND with all the pictures etc I've been able to drag out, I've got quite a lot of detail. I've pretty much landed on a 1/40 scale model which will (I hope) translate to a 21'6" manned boat. I plan on putting in a drop sailing keel for stability which, when on display won't affect the general look of the thing. I also plan on all four engines being in place. Yes, I know, not really neccesary but, at least, authentic. I'll put up pictures from laying the keel to completion though I don't expect to start for a little while yet...
Thanks guys. |
