A short list of Unique, Challenging and Odd ships to model. More in the Future. ... ... Some odd ships that this RC builder with a case of THE GALLOPING WIERDS would LOVE to see out on the water. Are there any others who possibly have project boats they would like to see ? Being a kit builder myself, any refs/links on how to move from only a picture to a completed RC boat would be GREATLY appreciated !!
