Bobohamer Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 (edited) As a new member this display at SeaTac got me started in building a SIB. I loaded pictures in the Gallery... Enjoy! Until then I had been building much much larger vintage pond yachts. As I approach retirement, I told my wife I was going to downsize my hobby and then showed her my John Fox Bluenose hull. I still have a ways to go and drilling the bulwarks I messed up with breakaway, but I am going to keep going until I learn more of the techniques and build the tools. Thanks for the the site and look forward to many more years of assistance in this new and much smaller ship building. My interest is in modeling J-boats and America Cup yachts similar to my pond yachts from the '30s. I would be interested in knowing anyone who has the same interests.

DSiemens Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Welcome! I like ships of all ages and times but I agree the early 20th century yachts are some of the most beautiful ships out there. I've built a couple in bottles. They are a ton of fun and really catch people's attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
