Scale Models

[Agitated88]

That Pacifica is from the early 80's. I'm suprised, alot of people never heard of that boat co. I have been building models over 30 yrs. Thanks

That is very apparent...you build a VERY nice product. I'd be interested in seeing a few pictures of the build process if you have time. Again, thanks for sharing them!

Every model I build is unique in its own way, as every boat is. Boat owners outfit their boat to their liking. That makes every model a custom build. Building a 60 ft. sportfish or a small runabout there is still an enormous amount of detail in the building of a exact replica. Every part is hand built with extreme attention to detail. Here are some pics of the build process of a 16 ft. boston whaler mirror image half model.

Amazing Don! Thanks for sharing.

Flat out awesome. Your attention to detail is second to none. You must have a very steady hand. Do you purchase the metal (ie: grab rail, t-top frame, outrigger poles) from a hobby shop?

Erg,
there is a fella down in Wanchese that has a few scale model hulls built. I saw a couple of them laying around his shop the other day. They are just the base hull, ready to be finished as you like. Sounds like thats what you might be looking for, let me know and I'll see if i can get you in touch with him.

Just new to the site. The info you offered to erg is exactly what I am looking for!...I live in fl. Would like to know how to get in touch with you and find out if your contact still has the hulls...may be able to take both of them off his hands! I know it's been a long time since this post but thought I'd take shot!

Appreciate your time!...lines in!!

What type of hull are you looking for? What lenght and scale? I have alot of sportfish hulls aroung 26 to 30ins long.

Hey Scattered Grass, I started another thread "New Custom model Build" on 2-2-12 page 2. I posted more model builds and finished models. Check them out and thanks for the compliment.
