Nice laser cut frames, you were lucky to find them. I find that it is difficult to find reasonably priced laser cut frames for boats, mostly aircraft stuff out there.

IF as the batteries are 20 lbs each will you be needing a hoist to put her in the water.
Really looking good . Rick ▲

I can well appreciate the amount of work involved in a project like this as i am still wading through my HMS Cottesmore a bit at a time.
Your deck fittings are coming out well. You have a long way to go so keep up the good work. Martin555. ▲

Hi ToraDog,
I find that if you put the photos on first then add the text it works ok. The only other thing to do is copy and past the text. Your model is coming along nicely. Keep up the good work. Martin555. ▲

Hi Martin,
The crane booms are scratch. Stryrene angle and various bits and pieces.They started out pretty symetrical, but as time went on...The tapered tower that holds the pulleys was turned from a piece of Renshape (expand PVC foam) and then a mold was made and two towers cast. The winch drum is turned PVC. ▲

Hi ToraDog,
Nice work. Did you make the crane boom's or are they part of a kit ? Martin555. ▲
