HO Scale Lifeboats (and some larger vessels, too)

[Sumpter250]

I do not model boats but I truly enjoy looking at the posts of the members that do. I would like to build a PRR tugboat someday. Dave

Building boat/ship models, is really no different than any other kind of model.
1- do the research
2- get as many photos as you can
3- ask the necessary questions ( what is this?, what does it do? why is it "there"? etc. )
4- in each photo try to find an object that you can determine the "size" of ( helps to keep things in scale )
5- choose the materials-kit-prototype-etc.
6- start building........yeah it will be a whole new learning curve, but I find that the most exciting place in life is on the
sharp leading edge of any "learning curve"
7- Last, and perhaps the most important step, enjoy the experience.
