    Well done Brightwork.. Your kit built Commodore looks in pretty good condition - and in your care should be back on the water soon.

    Not many boats have two shafts and props these days. With just one central rudder you may find that it does not like turning at low speed very much.

    In this case you may consider converting to 2 or 3 rudders and\ or programming your transmitter (if possible) to give asymmetric thrust to help right turns.

    Good luck!

    Dr. John...she will be getting twin rudder and new screws. May even change out the shafts, will see. I guess that's why the original builder put the big black rudder keels on her. I will redo her interior cockpit in mahogany brightwork. I appreciate all the folks support here. It's nice to share.

    Callie Graphics is a great outfit.

    They will provide vinyl graphics of any kind to meet you needs. Their products are far better than anything you can do with decal paper and a computer printer or stick on letters. They are sensitive to the needs of model builders. Prices are very reasonable and service is prompt. I have used them many times.

    Hint: when purchasing graphics from them I buy spares in case things go wrong while applying them of they are damaged in the future.

    Imaginary friend….. when you know you’re going to go somewhere where line ups will be, take them with you….. talk with them often…. You want to get to the front quickly, take a beach ball with you too

    Without a doubt, best thing going…. No one knows how to deal with you and they just want you GONE

    In and out fast

    Congratulations on your well done model.
    Every picture you took makes your model looks like the actual vessel.
    I love the interior shots and this one is my favorite.😎

    Thank you everyone. I am simply a builder and steward. Not sure what will happen to them in the future. I hope they end up in loving homes. I certainly enjoy them

    DW Brinkman. IKEA shelves with led tape lighting. Thank you for your kind words. These shelves are in the bedroom. I just can’t seem to get shelf space in the living room lol. Some are in my man cave as well. Cheers.

    Brightwork,
    You inspired me to do something to display some of my boats. It's just a start, but I cleared off some less interesting stuff from a couple of bookshelves and went to my shed and literally "dusted off" some of my Harbor.
    Certainly not as beautiful as yours, but now I at least have a few of my boats to look at over the winter Dry Dock season.
    Thanks for the inspiration!

    PS Please ignore the mess around the bookshelves, it was a quick and dirty project, LOL
