It all depends on what strikes your fancy, building experience and how deep your pockets are.

Have you tried the USS Missouri model. You can find the plans for it on ebay. its about 55 1/2 inches long and a beam of 6 inches.

If you into building from scratch, maybe order a set of plans from Taubman at Loyalhanna Dockyard. They have a varitey of plans to choose from, maybe a Coast Guard Buoy Tender, a sloop, or a warship. Regardless, remember to have fun and make sure the water is hard before going ice fishing!! [sm=drowning.gif] Oh, it's gotta be soft for the boats too!!
