okay so the victory is my first ever build like this.

i have built r/c boats from plasticard from strach but never anything like this.

so i decided to go and do the endeavour as well as a practice, its a nice boat, easy difficulty degree and not to big.

but 3 of my lounge walls are barely 3m long, the window wall has 2 sloped cieling things either side of the window, and i really would like to build the following

victory
endeavour
cutty sark
surprise
and the bounty.

my partner is building a 4ft long titanic and im getting the titanic lifeboat as a anniversary gift. so it will be interesting to see where the heck im gunna put them all!

i can fit the victory and endeavour side by side on one wall. maybe another small boat above the endeavour. but the others are like over a meter long.

not going to be able to move through them all hahaha

a paino would occupy half the lounge, especaily with my computer desk, as my pc is custom built and runs 3 monitors its a big desk.

i do agree with hanging from the celing though, if your room is tall enough that is, i should imagine the aircraft is a good 5-6 inches tall. at least if its above the piano you probably wont have to duck to get underneath it
