Nice work,
The boat looks fantastic.
Looking forward to see her on the water.

If it looks right it probably is.
Thanks everyone for your interest. The boat has not seen the water since last August . When i did the maiden voyage shake down, to test the 3 motors and balance. All was promising and i look forward to our next trip.

Having made a start on my next boat, I suddenly had inspiration to finish the last part of my brave borderer, I had toyed with the idea of scratch building the twin oerlikon for the stern, as I could not justify the high price of a kit,(£31.95). I had previously made the barrels and had success making these, that's as far as I had gone, then I had a brain wave for the mounting post as I was using a bottle of resin to coat the new boat hull I realised the top nozzle would be perfect, so suitably inspired I set about yesterday to complete the gun. Here are my finished photos.
