My wife has got me one for my birthday and I'm really looking forwards to starting but I'm wondering if there are any pitfalls before I get going?

I'd be tempted to just build a canoe that you can use? Why build a huge model that you can't? Slightly more effort and money and you have a usable item not an ornament.
I've no experience of the link but they look good.

I'll add to that I appreciate the present but I'd scale up!

It would make a great talking point. Good luck with the build.

That looks great Bob, though I hope its one of the smaller ones you've got or you'll be at it for ages!
Yes. it is the smaller version. I hope it will be a talking point but I'll need to up my game in the woodworking department if the topic of discussion isn't going to be how crap it looks![]()
Not built one of those and the end product should look sooo much better than mine ... I'm looking forward to the build thread

What fun and if you ever decide to build the real thing then you'll know what to do!

Looks big enough to make into an outrigger.

No, but I suspect the key to success is using appropriate modelling tools rather than regular tools - a decent craft knife instead of a saw for example, pin vice instead of 6" metalwork vice, that sort of thing.
How hard can it be?
