   Have started working on the Sea Queen, replaced cabin sides with 1.5mm mahogany skins. 😀 have now finished deck and fitted motor, however going back to work next week so will take a little longer before she is in the water again.

   "WOW that a nice finish, .."
   Thanks Pete👍
   If I can do it ... ANYONE can😉
   Looks like your deck will benefit from a thorough sanding and re-stain/re-varnish!
   Good luck,
   Doug 😎

   Hi
   I never got my planking from Jotika ordered 18 months ago. They don't answer emails and when I try to talk to John Wright he is not available. I paid for it as well! I am trying Cornwell model boats to see if they can help as this is where I imported the kit from. Would have been useful to have now as I could have done it being under lockdown☹️☹️

   Plan for the beetle is to paint it up as the original box art, blue and white, and it does drive well, but not as good as the willy jeep.

   WOW that a nice finish, I think I will redo the decking as it is letting the side down.

   Plan is to repair and fit a brushless motor, not sure 🤔 what size motor to get.

    Hi Ian,
    "Building one from Jotika. Have got so far but now need the deck I ordered from Jotika a year ago!"
    Did you ever get that deck and finish the boat?
    Cheers, Doug 😎

    Hi Pete,
    Do you intend to do a complete restoration or just a repair ?

    Just moved to new place so everything still in boxes and stuck up in loft, will get better photos and pictures of the Sea Queen.

    Yes will try and get it down from the loft and take some pictures, also have more boats to list 😉
    Finally got it down from loft and it’s in worse condition than I remembered ☹️ Will clean it up and stick some of the bit that have broken back on 🙁
