Hello

HI all, thanks will give the "Springer" a look. Went to meeting Sunday and had a go with a warship, it was really good. Must admit eventually I'd like a lifeboat or tug!!!! Roger f

Hello

Just a thought, why not build a Springer tug to start with, simple and quick to build, you can put any superstructure on that you want, use an old battery drill motor to power it.
Gets you on the water to have a play while you build something a bit more time consuming.
Dimensions and lots of ideas on Model boat mayhem under Springers.

That's the way I set off into model boats

Hello

HI Colin. Thanks for reply. Yes looking forward to starting up. Not sure what to look for as a first model. Also do not want to spend a lot of money to start with until I know I'm going to stick at it. Went to a local club today and enjoyed the chat so that helped. So any ideas about models or where to look would be handy mate.

Hello

HI Roger, welcome to the world of boats, I also went through cars and planes, but find that my reactions are too slow now, so I now restore and sail vintage model boats, both R/C and free-sail, fleet now has 11 boats, the oldest from about 1920, and the newest from about 1970.
The guys on this site have given me loads of help and encouragement with my rescued projects, so browse the site and enjoy your modeling. Good luck and happy sailing. Colin.
Fair winds and calm waters,
COLIN.
