Hi,Mark

I am trying to build boats so I got a simple sailing boat "The Jenny"sheet balsa hope you get lots of advice as I will be looking.

Good luck with the build Rod.

hi fod thanks for your reply what size (scale) would this jenny be as mine is going to be 1/6 about 6 ft no point messing about if your going to build “, build big ” ……. mark

[mark69Participant @mark69]

[Rod smartParticipant @rodsmart62545]

Ha mark I am going small and its only 600mm long and high.no point in building to big.I have to prove I can start small and work my way up.

I am working my self up to building a tiger moth when I my found my hands shack a bit to much.so I will make a go of this boat then see where it takes me.

Good luck with the yacht will you get it in the car?

Mark,

You need to create an album or reference an external URL. See the FAQ section at the foot of the page on the left hand side. If you create an album then you can move photos into your posts by using the camera icon on the editing toolbar when making a post.
