lock down build 2 (after the Thames barge )
still lots to do as waiting for prop and shaft, rudder to arrive. this is held together (just) with hope will have to glue when parts arrived then the fun will really start
1/12 figure way out of scale

Hi Sidley,

Sarik Hobbies do a plan for a 70ft. Working Narrow Boat. That would be as typical canal boat as you could wish for. Hope that helps.

Hi Sidley,
Try Googling british narrow boat designs. There's a lot of full size plans and layouts out there, one is www.narrowboats.org
If you can't find what you want let me know and I'll look for you.
Cheers Colin.
Fair winds and calm waters,

That's quite impressive Jacko, but Sidley is looking for plans. No doubt you or I or anyone knowing narrow boats could manage perfectly well, but Sidley, living in Oz can't nip down to the Grand Union or somewhere to look at one.

I think Model Boats Magazine, UK publication of course, published an article on building one complete with plan about three years ago. Cornwall Model Boats supply a plan of a narrow boat pleasure boat called Invictus of Allington, might be same boat. I'm sure there are a lot more but can't think of them offhand.
