Hi julio
Plans for the orca can be got from patrick as in my blog, also I have since seen them advertised from Cornwall model boats Web site. As for reference just watch the movie JAWS and freeze frame when needed and take screen shots as I did. Good surfing. ▲

Hi, Rogal118:
I'll follow you in this post... and (perhaps), if I get the plans, I'll start building one more Orca... I really like your early work. ▲

Yes it is tight, but there is enough room if you keep the rudder to one side so the arm has enough throw to give a good rudder movement.good luck.

Hi there. Just a point that has occured to me in my blog regarding the prop shaft and the positioning of the motor, as it is one of the early build decitions i did not realise that the motor fits in the middle of the main cabin. If at a later date you want to fit out the cabin as i have done. I had to fit a longer prop shaft so as to move the motor out of sight into the forward cabin. I did not wish to disturb the outer shaft as it was fixed to good. These thoughts might be worth pondering over to save messing about later as i did. Hindsight is a wonderful thing

Yes it will be sealed, I prefere to use matt polyurethane. Seals but looks well scrubed in, expecially for a work boat were a high gloss finish would not look right. Thanks for the comment.

The Walnut looks great. Shouldn't be a problem as long as you seal it.
Walnut is not used on full sized boats as it is not rot resistant. Trev ▲

I've only just caught up with the site after an absence and just read your blog from the beginning, Walnut looks great when finished I did all the deck of my Police boat in it and its a nice wood to work with you can achieve some fine detail with this hard wood.
altogether a great blog and look forward to reading the rest ▲

Thanks for your interest.
The white foam board that I have is very light similar to balsa and I find easier to cut as the blade does not want to follow the grain as with balsa. The surface is very slightly textured. Well more of a matt finish, not smooth like plasticard. It will take a steady curve, and bonds well with supa glue,2part resin etc.it has its limitations but all materials do. And I have found it takes spray can paint well without primers and after a couple of coats the slightly textured surface is nice and smooth ▲

Coming along nicely.
Do you have to treat/coat the foam board? Trev ▲
