    Back out of the "Zen" woods yesterday and in the Lake. I put another (much needed) two pounds of ballast in my old Sterling Caltex Lumba Lumba and put her through her paces. Still a bit "high," but I am very happy with the results. I hope to move the C-2 Freighter up here soon.

    (Re: Pitman)

    Are you kidding - back in my day, Pittmans were Cadillacs, and I could only afford Volkswagens! ๐Ÿ™„

    Also will put this old Kyosho Viper through her paces that I restored as a side project this winter. The "Hardee's" paint scheme is a one-off and a good reason to use an old set of r/c car decals I had laying about in my decal stash. ๐Ÿ˜‚

    Yes, Good idea, definitely needs some railings on upper deck. When I build a model I donโ€™t always adhere to the plans. I make whatever changes I like to please me.

    Remember I said I remember building the Lumba Lumba many, many, many, many years ago ago.I looked around and still have the motor that was in it. Anybody remember these motors from Pitman? Ancient history

    Brightwork!!!!!!!!!! These are absolutely Astounding!!!

    Notice that the new owners in BC did the one thing that I fretted over more than anything during the build: they put RAILINGS all over the aft deck behind the stack! I did put a series of diamond plate catwalks off the rear hatch (see below), because I couldn't get past the fact that the folks at Caltex were ok with a 35 foot deck with no rails in heavy seas. When I decide to retro fit her that's the first thing that's going on and these two posts are invaluable.

    Thank you! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Š
