Welcome to the group.

How's the work going on your pilot boat?

You may want to look about at the variety of pilot boat projects to be found here. There are a couple of Virginia builds and several of the Katy of Norfolk (try looking in the gallery for albums sorted by album name). Clare (logon catopower) has some interesting scratch builds going and I'm working on a pair of pinkys (really fishing schooners but pilot sized and used as pilot boats). maybe we should start a sub group on pilot boats?

In any case, I look forward to seeing your progress and hope you will join in in the discussion of modeling in general.
