Hi Guys,
I decided that I would do a sort of a build log on this wacky project.
This is another crazy idea that has been buzzing around in my head for a while.
I have not used any measurements,drawings,plans,or photos.
A Totally experiment !
It should work if I get it right.
This will be a 2 channel surface runner when completed.
I will not log every stage as it will get extremely boring, but if you have any questions then I will answer them as I go along.

EVOLUTION is built around a drinking water bottle.
The first job was to attach some magnets so that the front will detach from the main body.
The water bottle is just to stop the electrical stuff from getting wet.
In this log the photos will tell the story.(hopefully)

Hi Guys,
It will all become clear as I go along.
I think when you see it you will be able to blame the medication that I am currently on.

Hi Guys,
This project is made using the usual ingredients, I don't think that I need to list them as you probably already know what they are.
This part almost gives it away but hopefully it might still keep you guessing a little longer.

Hi Guys,

Due to the fact that I have totally run out of fresh air glue I have had to make a rough framework to have something to glue to.
As this is mainly a model boat web site I have stuck to a water based project.
All the plans for this are still swimming around in my head.
Now you can see why I blame the medication LOL!
I did say that it is a wacky project as you will see as I go along.

Hi Guys,

Starting to take shape.

Hi Guys,
Just a little update.
This is how I made some bones for Evolution.
Using my recycled plastic I glued little off cuts on top of each other allowing it to dry.
Then I use a smaller electric drill with a small burr bit and let it do it own thing.
You can see in the photos the effects it creates.
This is less model making more like sculpting.
It is not going according to plan but it is different and I think it will work out alright in the end if I up my medication.

Hi Guys,
I did say it is a wacky project and it's Taking shape now, so if you thought the Steampunk Pike was mad, well this is darn right crazy.
Eye sockets made and fitted.
Some Bone platelets made with different textures on them.

You can now see why I am on medication LOL!

Hi Guys,
Head section now complete, I have put different textures on the bones.
This little project is trickier to make than I thought it would be.
Things are not going according to plan it seems to be one problem after another, I should of given this a lot more thought.
Still I must carry on regardless.

Hi Guys,
Prop shaft fitted.
I found an old long plastic spoon in the shed and decided to cut it up to use for the spine.
I am beginning to wish that I hadn't started making this, it is a real pain and things are not working out as I had planned.
Perhaps is the medication wearing off LOL!

Hi Guys,
Knocked up a temporary jig to form more bone shapes.
Using the cut spoon piece for the spine centre, and some thin plastic red tube for the push rod guide.
A lot of sanding required!
The photos show the jig and the bone before and after sanding.
