I started on my first wooden boat about, oh... 4 years ago? Then I lost interest and recently I got back into it. I'm building the tiny, USCG 41' utility boat. It's, eh, 17" long I think? Really small, pretty easy to build though if you ask me. The only hurdle I'm having is painting it.... My airbrush is broke down! My own fault though, I bent the needle, and the bent needle messed up the nozzle (tiny little thing) coated with teflon... about $60-80 worth of replacements. Then I'll get back to painting, and I'll finish it. I'm expecting it to be done over the summer. No idea if it's going to be R/C though, I know with certainty that it'll be mostly used as a display piece. I cant say for sure it'd be a wonderful R/C boat (darned easy to do), but, you never know. After all, it was actually my dad's boat, he probably wouldn't have built it on his own though! Might make a nice B-day gift. Hmm, well, ok, I'll do it!
