I have been building model boats on and off since I was about ten years old- I'm sixty nine now, but I don't consider myself an experienced or expert builder. My modelling activity has been, and still is, quite sporadic and many people produce far better work which is the result of a lifetime of dedication and acquisition of skills. I have various other interests with which I have to divide my time.
However, this site is here to describe what I, and a few friends, do achieve and how we do it.
My main area of interest is scale powered craft built to a fairly large scale, typically 1:16. I now use electric motors but have, in the past used, steam and I have also built one or two yachts.
I have a number of projects on the go- I like to work on a broad front, and I will describe these in subsequent pages. Some of them are 'stuck' and others are deliberately on the back burner.
