Thanks for the response Roy

I will have a look at your builds now.
Thanks again

First build

Hi

I've just seen your post and not too sure of your name. However, there are no hard and fast rules of what to select for your first build. Common sense and experience is critical. if you feel that you are able to apply the necessary skills to your selected build then do it. The Kawkab sounds ideal.

If it's any help My First build was a simple ply speed boat around 24" in length from plans. I cut all the necessary templates and then glued it all together. it taught me a lot about getting things square and aligned too.

I then built an RAF range safety Launch 36" 10" beam with loads of different building techniques required but once again this was for me an easy build. You can view my RSL on my pages.

Good luck with your build and don't forget to start a blog I would be very interested like others to see it.

Kind regards
Roy

First build

Im looking to build my first rc boat.
I quite fancy either the kawkab or severn class lifeboat, both by model slipway.
Do you think these would be a good fitst build? If not do you have any recommendations.
I have built many plastic kits an have built and planked a wooden hull before.
Thanks
