Tell her you want to build a model railway layout around the dinning room/lounge/spare bedroom. All of a sudden your current "problem" will pale into insignificance!

[Malcolm FraryParticipant @malcolmfrary95515]

No one metre size sailboats.

[Charles OatesParticipant @charlesoates31738]

That's not a problem, it's avant garde interior decorating.

[Ray Wood 3Participant @raywood3]

Hi Harry,

Yes we all have that problem !! I'd spread them round the house there won't seem so many

My loft is insulated with model boats !!

Hi Ray

My loft is insulated with Care Quilts my wife makes for charity !!!

She has done 43 quilts this year !!!

I help with design of some and colour ideas.

I will have to add some pics to show you all .

Harry

Richard, the model railway club house is only 1/2 KM from my house, but I am too busy with boats.

Mal, no motors in one meter rag and stick boats.

[Chris FellowsParticipant @chrisfellows72943]

A fine and varied selection there Harry.

I followed Ray's advice sometime ago!

I see Harry’s problem…not enough boats!!

Boxing them up seriously compacts the storage needs and disguises the numbers..

[Richard SimpsonModerator @richardsimpson88330]

I usually try to have currently used models on display and ready to use. It always seems a shame to me to have them hidden away in boxes after so much has gone into building them. Having said that I am lucky to have plenty of space in the garage to have them on display and, even then, I still have a couple stashed away in boxes!

[ashley needhamParticipant @ashleyneedham69188]

I`m sorry Richard, along with Harry…for showing us pictures of his boating venues that look like holiday brochures (and are really warm), I am going to insist on you being banned for showing us pictures of your incredibly clean and smart boat storage facility.

When we had the place built the builders complained that they had never put a skirting board in a garage before. I said you've never made a garage for me before.

[Ray Wood 3Participant @raywood3]

Hi All,

This is my winter storage facility ie. the loft is busy at the moment with old and new projects, the other 15 boats are spread round the house & garage

Hi All

Well another one followed me home on Saturday !!!

A Free Sea Scout .

So it's in from a brushless motor and a paint job.

Luckily the weather as pick up with a couple of 18C with two days of 26C.

Three coats of paint on the hull bottom today.

Harry

[Richard SimpsonModerator @richardsimpson88330]

Nice condition for a freebie, can't complain at that!

[harry smith 1Participant @harrysmith1]

Hi All

Well the bottom now red and the sides mid blue with the brushless motor ,ESC and rudder servo installed.

Another freebie arrived today, a Diva cabin cruiser, part built !!!

Harry

[harry smith 1Participant @harrysmith1]

HI All

One Sea Scout ready for the water !!!

Harry

[Richard SimpsonModerator @richardsimpson88330]

Lovely job, clean and tidy without loosing all the original patina of the woodwork. She looks absolutely spot on.

[ashley needhamParticipant @ashleyneedham69188]

Nice one Harry, as usual. Ash

[harry smith 1Participant @harrysmith1]

Hi All

The Diva is coming along nicely, should be ready in the new year.

My next one comes in the new year, a Nor-Star Wave Princess 34".

It has GT strips over it, they will have to go.

It's a Cabin Cruiser, not a race boat.

Harry

[harry smith 1Participant @harrysmith1]

Hi All

Only a cleanup, grease the shaft and rudder.

System check and ready for the water.

Harry
