    Ron your build log is appreciated. We have similar interests...workboats, almost cartoon-like. You have made remarkable progress over the last 3 weeks. Have you found a suitable geared power plant? I seem to recall your pinion had bit the dust. If you havent, I have something to offer in the 250-380 range. Not sure exactly what size you would call it, but its quite a bit smaller than a 540. Rods in Scarborough

    Ready to launch later this Spring. I found Happy Family figures on Facebook marketplace for $6 per figure buying 7 of them.

    Gave her the name, Mrs.B, in respect of the three ladies in our family.

    Tank testing showed a small leak but after applying 5min epoxy mixture along any suspicious seams, no more leaks ๐Ÿ˜

    I went back and checked the drawings from John Gardnerโ€™s book. It shows the height from cockpit floor to roof over wheelhouse is 5โ€™-7โ€

    My figure here is 6โ€ which is 1โ€=1โ€™ six foot person. I figure since everyone has the same toros length on average, if I shorten the legs the figure could be brought down to about 5โ€™ 8โ€ or 5โ€™6โ€ without an issue.

    These are Fisher Price Happy Family doll house figures which can be found on used stuff websites such as Facebook marketplace. Average price in Canada is $8-$10 per figure.

    I'm a PBY fan as well. Please ensure your grandson sees the Wikipedia article, search on "catalina". Its good to see a youngster so interested in tech. Back in the '50s my Dad had a business partner who gifted me a styrene PBY kit. No idea why, tho, as Doug was too young to hav served in WW2. Until a couple of days ago I had no idea how ubiquitous the PBYs/Cansos were in their decades. Cheers, Rod
