    (Re: Pitman)

    Are you kidding - back in my day, Pittmans were Cadillacs, and I could only afford Volkswagens! ๐Ÿ™„
    So many ships . . . and so little time . . .

    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
    The sure way to succeed is, just try one more time

    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

    There are Bridges and Bridges JP๐Ÿ˜‰
    I even looked on Google Earth for a bridge over the Strait of Malacca๐Ÿค” like the Great Belt Bridge between East and West Denmark or the Rio-Niterรณi bridge spanning the Guanabara Bay in Brazil๐Ÿ˜ Got stuck on that bridge for over an hour one evening, on the way back to Rio from a day working at the Submarine base in Niterรณi.โ˜น๏ธ๐Ÿ˜
