Hello,

Has anyone got any drawings or plans for the original Bowman / Hobbies boats. I want to try and make a one of the larger boats. I have looked at scaling up my Swallow but if plans are available that would be better.

The charm of these boats is in the design, I think they were pretty much spot on!!

The ballance of material size used, dimentions used, and proportions was great and gives the boats the charm that they have. The modern hobbies boat just doesn't  have that,  it is to slab sided.

I want to try and get it spot on

Thanks
