: Ha! I figured someone would pick that up :-) Yes and no. They are blow ups of

1/4 scale SOf get a little tricky. I'm working on on Mr Brincks Aleute kayak in 1/4 scale. It'll have 45 ribs. Let me say that again... "It'll have 45 ribs!"

1/3 scale would be better for SOF just because the wood will be a little more stabile. I'm having a tough time keeping the gunwales straight. Right noe I've got weights on them to hold them in place.

A Walrus would do well as a 1/4 scale model. Having the frame built on forms is a real bonus for such a project.
