Hey there Dumaspittman!
Thanks for touching base! I will probably go single screw electric just for messing about on the lake. I have an old Kyosho Viper basket-case that I may cannibalize for motor and gear. Although I like your double-up as the boat was actually built for some decent speed it seems. I promise to keep the pix coming and will touch base for advice from you and the gang! Best -- Guy

At last! It's a frame up I tell ya'. π Hitting the road for about 3 weeks, but wanted to lay down the keel and position the bulkheads so I can dive back in when I get back. It's a habit of mine whenever I'm away from the bench for a while. Also, added a pic of the project that held me up before jumping into The Caltex. Both old Sterling Models kits, both die-crushed all over the place, but I have a weakness for Sterling's (generally) robust construction methods. More to follow on all of this. π

Hi Alessandro:
The boxartden is a group of digital artists who restore and archive model box art. They have an extensive archive now and I help from time to time. Here is my Thermopylae box that they also restored for their archives. You can get lost in their archive! πAlso here is their link...

I hear that Phil! For us it happens about every 5 years. We have 5 tributaries entering our lake and as a result invasive species of plants (especially millfoil) come with it. It'll cost out lake membership $80,000 to have it treated next spring.

Bondo, despite the smell. DAP makes a very nice plastic wood these days. Micro-Balloons is the choice of the airplane crowd. And I will admit that drywall mud has helped me over the yearsβ¦but coated with Z-Poxy. π
