Bill Hudson Posted October 23, 2018 #1 Posted October 23, 2018 It has been quite some time since I last posted here. I am shutting down my studio for making miniatures (horse drawn carriages, etc) I also did the basic design for the Blue Jacket DE model several years ago. I am now 86 and need to down size and will probably have to live in an apartment so will have limited space. I would like to build a plank on frame Revenue Cutter but a small one not much l;longer than 18". Any ideas? thibaultron 1 Fall down nine times, get up ten.
MartinB Posted October 23, 2018 #2 Posted October 23, 2018 Hi Bill, Why not go for one of the earlier vessels that had an initial impact on the US revenue service. Absolutely choose one that has plans or some such available. You obviously know how to model. Choose well and start the build. I'll pull up the chair. All the best Martin mtaylor and Canute 2
lmagna Posted October 23, 2018 #3 Posted October 23, 2018 (edited) Hi Bill It's not a Revenue Cutter, but have you considered the Swift Virginia Pilot Boat 1805 1:50 Scale Artesania Latina Kit? It is a big scale yet small ship. Should fit into an apartment, and can be built with only hand tools. No need for big shop tools.
