Thread: Should models boats include the crew? |
06/06/2009 15:20:21 |
in my opinion like the other members i hate to see a finished model ?
without figures large or small there are loads out there to be modifyed
to suite most boats its great to see a finished warship or tug with crew
on deck i never have a boat without figures |

Thread: Billings Boats |

i built a couple of graupner kits they are useally good kits but most are not
for the beginners the plans are good but the write up in the instructions leave
a bit to be desired probaly because they are a german company i have done
four or five over the years ie paul denker tina and a nordcap they make good kits
but maybe they have changed i would the model shop to show you the instruction first
or ask what the rateing for kit ie beginner or some modelling experiance needed
hope this helps mick Edited By mick on 30/04/2009 18:21:45 |

We welcome well written contributions from Website members on almost any aspect of Model Boating with a particular emphasis on practical hints, tips, experience and builds.
In order to maintain a consistent standard and format, all suggestions should first be sent to me by Personal Message for approval in principle. Only a very limited amount of time is available for editing contributions into a suitable format for placing on the website so it is important that the material is well presented, lucid and free from obvious spelling errors. I think it goes without saying that contributions should be illustrated by appropriate photos. I shall be happy to give advice on this.
The Member Contribution area offers space for short informative mini articles which would not normally find a place in Model Boats magazine. It is an opportunity for Website Members to freely share their expertise and experience but I am afraid that virtue is its own reward as there is no budget to offer more material recompense!
I look forward to receiving your suggestions.
