Hi all, a coffee break question for you all.
You will know me if you know me at all as a lover of the woodie, the mahogany hotrod, the classic speedboat.
And I wonder why they are so very rarely modelled. There are plenty of plans for them and a few kits which can be made straight or converted into others. They are well documented on the 'net. There are some wonderful books about them (most of which I have!).

Yet where are they all? Surely they are more fun to fling round a pond than some old tanker/coaster. I realise tugs can be made to erm...tug, if the rest of the equipment is available, but it rarely seems to be.

Does the glamour of a highly varnished wooden or painted finish with chrome fittings not appeal? Does the average smallness of the classic speedboat not make for easy transport?

Not a criticism, just a ponder, but some response would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Martin
