    Building boat models from scratch since 1963 but still learning new skills!

    My Grandfather worked on the Seguin. I've always wanted to build the model having been on the original, but unfortunately I have too many models started and not enough finished!
    I look forward to your posted progress.

    I appreciate this honest modern/ reality post!
    Wow. Programming. I have a lot to learn after sort of stepping out of the hobby with 5 unfinished hulls designed and built scale scratch 20 years ago. Programming? OMG!🙄
    yup ... getting older! Still willing ( able? ) to learn !

    Chit. I've been planning a serious buy for several years ... guess I better get on it. Very disappointing but probably represents the reality of today's market. chit!!☹️

    You and I have something in common. I have 4 hulls in various stages of construction. The most finished one is a tugboat I started in 1985 with my 7 year old son. He now works & lives on a tugboat. The model may be an antique before I am done! The next is a beautiful hull, the lines taken off a Sparkman & Stevens gaff-rig sailboat disintegrating in an old boatyard. The model sailed wonderfully, but I took it apart to add more detail.
    Still adding ... on occasion. The others are mahogany runabouts, one intended as a model for a full-size build that likely will not happen. But hey - no bar bills!!
