Thank you all for your detailed responses, these have been instructive and very helpful. I will have a look at the build logs.

Thank you for your comment. I have bought a New Bedford whale boat kit but not made it. Funny story...start of Covid last year I ordered it...12 months later they wrote to me and asked me if I still wanted it....They had my money so I said yes. 

But since then I think that the outside of the boat will look OK but the inside won't match so ... not sure about putting in the effort to build it. 

Hence my inquiry. 

Love your thoughts.

Hi, I am reasonably new to this hobby so have a question. I have completed two kits and two scratch builds. 

Kits all seem to rely on double skinning while a real New Bedford whale boat or Bounty launch would be built with a single layer. Is it simply too hard to build single layer? Any thoughts appreciated.

Thank you all......just trying to do the right thing.....I haven’t done a build log you but I will do so this time.

Just a question....I am about to start a model 1950s speedboat.....clearly not a ship. Are boat builds welcome on this forum?   Thank you.

Big welcome from down under in Canberra, Australia. You will get lots of good advice here.  Mike.

Welcome to this forum, it is certainly the place for great advice and meeting a great group of friends. Clamps, clamps of all kinds. Look forward to seeing your builds.  Mike
