Dumas Army-74 tug
Dumas Army -74. Direction pictures were very good. The written part was better with a sarcastic twist. Straight forward build.

Bunker boat
This is my first scratch build. 5 ply baltic keel and ribs. Basswood planking then wrapped in fiber glass. Quite happy with the end results for a first rc project ( considering how close it got the the fireplace a few times )

At first you would almost think of a movie propβ¦.. after your dust off, she looks like a nicely weathered working girl with a scrape or two. Very nice find

π Question of the Day?

Hermank, I agree with youβ¦. All this grumbling and comments regarding the question of the day. Boys, itβs JUST A SINGLE QUESTION in a 24 hour span.
Does it hurt you ? Do you feel bad if you get it wrong ?
Seems to me the time spent carrying on about it, you could have had another bit of a boat finished.
Like me spending the time composing this, I could be into my second cup of nuclear π₯radioactive π₯waste coffee of the morning.
Mmmmmm. Coffee π

A fellow builder suggested draping the cloth, use clips as weights on what would be the scrap glass. If needed, tack a few spots with a lil c.a. Then the epoxyβ¦β¦.
Weβll see how that works out on current projectβ¦. Stay tuned on a few months

π Spray paint or brush

West wind. You said automotive spray paintβ¦
I cannot emphasize enough test. T e s t. TEST the surface being painted. These paints are becoming more environmentally friendly but Iβve seen some of these ruin plastic and other surfaces.
Itβs easier to test instead of strip.
Thereβs my itty bitty 2 cents

I firmly believe the majority of man kind will be unemployed because of all this computer stuff. Yes yes yes it has itβs placesβ¦..BUT hearing a human answer a company phone and directing you to the correct departmentβ¦β¦. a human cashierβ¦.. etcβ¦. But I am tired of people saying there are no jobs

With all the experience out there, what is your favourite homemade tool you use during a build. I figure you more experienced builders have some great ideas that us novice folks could use.
I think it will be a β holy $@&% why didnβt I think of that β moment. So please share with a photo or two
Thank youβ¦

Mr. Lightfoot is as down to earth as one can get. I thanked him for sharing his songs and the stories they told especially the Fitzgerald
The song about the Fitz was one that needed to be told ( his words )β¦. I wish he had more time that night, but he had prior commitments. He joked about going for coffee, I told him itβd be an honour to pick the tab.

Hermark,
Youβve probably heard of my mentorβ¦. Non other that Jack Daniels himself.π
Weβve spent countless hours fixing world problemsπ€, just didnβt write them down at the time and couldnβt remember the fixes the next day.
Thereβs no answers at the bottom of a whiskey bottle, just a couple of cures along the way.
Joint pain, sedation, cure for insomnia etcβ¦

No one else has that boat... then you have to get it.

Now Fredβ¦.. this is something I have learned over the the years when it comes to buying a model. Cursing yourself, the should have, why didnβt you and the hole in my itty bitty heart for not doing itβ¦. Far out weighs the POSSIBILITY of any kind of guilt regarding a purchase of a kit.
Price divided by hours of build = low cost entertainment and frustration. Probably about the same as 2 beers per hour. And what will last longer ?
GO GET IT
