cobraman Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Just finished up another one of those 15 dollar boat kits from China . Same crummy instructions and parts are lacking and not enough rigging to do a proper job but having done another one from these folks made this one easier .
vintagedragcrazy Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 Real nice but where's Gilligan and the skipper! Lol I like it! vince
oldnslow Posted June 12, 2018 Posted June 12, 2018 What scale is that ? I'm looking for boats for my train layout , for the waterfront . I've bought several of the Lindberg fishing boats and need a couple more for diversity .
cobraman Posted June 12, 2018 Author Posted June 12, 2018 !/100 ????? Instructions did not indicate scale. It measures about 10 inches.

peteski Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 Nice! Have you build any plastic kit since the time you've "gone wood"?

DEL Posted June 13, 2018 Posted June 13, 2018 GILLIGAN!! Nice build, seriously. I started out with sailing warships and battleships before I fell under the spell of cars, so I really like this. Good build!
cobraman Posted June 13, 2018 Author Posted June 13, 2018 Thanks much guys. Even with the problems I have had with these wooden boat models I have enjoyed building and learning from them. A world different than plastic kits. Room needed to display them is a problem.
