Hi, I'm Dave. I build mostly in HO scale. I've been building a series of dioramas that hopefully will all fit together as one big diorama.....some day.
I've been building models for over 40 years. I'm still learning.

Welcome aboard Dave - in the hat!
The tug boats look cool, I would not be surprised if you were hit up for a review. What does HO scale translate to in ratio?

HO scale is 1:87. My tugboats are a little out of scale. I think they'll look ok in the over all scene. There aren't too many boats available in HO scale that are in my budget. I'm planning on scratchbuilding a couple of 1:87 scale boats in the near future.

Welcome. I have two rules that I live by. 1. Never eat or drink anything bigger than your head. 2. Never build anything smaller than 1/48th. That small scale stuff amazes me. Just give a yell if you need help navigating. Also, check out the campaigns.
