New member here. Beginner. I started a 1:35 scale RC Schnellboot about 15-20 years ago... got it floating and running but dropped it when I got to the detail stage, trying to figure out how to make the hinges for the torpedo tube gates in the bow stumped me, lol. Although I still have it, might try to finish it one day. But what got me back into the hobby was discovering the Aubrey/Marturin series, then I dug out my Underhill books and just became enthralled with the notion of building one (or more) of Jack Aubrey's ships, plank on frame, from scratch. I figured I'd try building the Ringle first, using the plans for the Clipper Lynx from Best Ship Models.
