As promised a few pics of my progress so far, started this for something to do through the bad winter months, rivers being flooded could'nt go fishing, so went back to my boyhood days of model making. I think I have got the bug again, but has'nt materials got expensive !

Here you go,, a bit more done, starting to take shape now. enclosed the pic Im scaling off of.

Well as you can see Ive been quite busy with the build. I have primed the hull to be able to see the line a bit better, and of course the blemishes. Also have started building the superstructure which I will put in next installment.

Been tricky getting the line and scale some where handy, I think its not far off now, still a long way to go.

HI Colin
Nice to hear from you again, it has come out at a metre long in the end. I have a johnson that I am going to use, 12volt gel battery, viper 15 esc, 38mm prop. See how that goes for a start.

just a quick up-date, havent done a lot lately, given it a few coats of paint and several sandings, little bit of filler here and there,still got to make a mast, air intakes, lifebelts, final coat, lettering decals. another month might get it in the water.
later

HI all,
Well I have finally got the engine room sorted out, could'nt make out why the fuse kept blowing turned out to be a faulty esc. anyway all sorted, next installment to follow.
