Saturday Film Club: How to build a Shannon class lifeboat
I've not done any model boat building this year. Maybe watching the pros doing it might inspire me?
As you'll have gathered from some of my FB posts,, I was never really that interested in lifeboats, though an RNLI supporter, until the Shannon came along. It just gets so many things right as a system.

ReplyDeleteSo if it takes 12 weeks to build one at 1:1 scale, does that mean that it takes 1 week to build one at 1:12 scale?
ReplyDeleteOr does scale not work like that?
