toying with an idea for a boat

As long as you aren’t copying and selling plans based on Airfix/Revell for profit you can do as you like.

 

However there are plenty of good MTB plans out there so why not just build from one of them?

Totally agree with Colin. There are some excellent plans out there. There is one from 1989 or so from RC models at 1/32nd that has sheets for MTB 57 with all the build frames etc on and really is an excellent plan. It is still around but there are others just as good from this sites shops and other outlets.

drawing a set of plans is very time consuming, and that time and effort that you put into them could be easily offset by buying a set and spending that time on actual building.

neil.

But it is more fun having an idea and creating it from scratch assuming you have the drawing skills or CAD programme. If you still have the plans in the other scale how about approaching a plan printing outfit to blow them up for you. Or as when I discovered the advertising for a sailing boat kit misleading [ length was LOA not hull length and it had a long bowsprit ] I put the wooden frames in my scanner and then doubled their size in the computer..
