Hi Kevin,Good to see a new member and keen at that, better than ten pressed men lol.Interesting you want to do a static model, your then not constrained in the way the RC guys are in that weight is not an issue and scale can prevail ... or modelers licence what ever you prefer but the all important waterline won't be so much of an issue.You have probably Googled the life out a new project and are probably aware of what is commercially available. If you stick to the Clyde then I'm happy to advise the following-Decide on a subject then contact the Mitchel Library or any of the other repositories we are fortunate to have around the Clyde there is a huge amount of info available. If you need more info on where to find the info just ask.Look forward to see where your interest takes you.Regards,Kim
