Hi Ron,
I believe they still have the antique boat show in August at Clayton, NY.
Definitely worth seeing.

Hey Dave,
I am not particularly drawn to double enders. However, the Typhoon is an exception! As you said She is so sleek and beautiful that it is hard to take your eyes off her😍😍
She looks like she is going 70 mph standing still.

On eBay I was able to acquire the Midwest "Marine Electric Power System" for the vessel.
Nothing fancy here, but should suffice🙄🙄🤞

Sorry Mates, I have been remis in my postings.
Breaking away from the HO I have done some work on the Seguin.
Primed the Hull.
Trial Fitting of the steam engine and boiler.
Neighbor's yard flooded, thought about taking my yachts out 🙄🙄
Constructed the raised aft deck (needs to be removable).
Installed cap rails.
Built the fore and aft tow bits (still finishing).
Just Realized the stern bit should have been athwartship (OPPS) Must have had a senior moment😂🤣.
Miles to go before I sleep😴😴😴

Beautiful Job, Dave
You certainly did her Justice.
Done in record time. If memory serves me correctly the directions say 18 Months?

Thats a tough one Dave
You could use double sided tape. I used that with limited success on my Typhoon, as some fittings are very small.
On other boats I have drilled the fitting for a small pin and drilled a corresponding hole in the model. Then used a little CA to glue it to the model.
Not much help I'm afraid.

Just a Thought, Dave.
Over a period of time epoxy does blush/deteriorate when exposed to sunlight.
You might want to consider the finish coat that contains an ultraviolet filter.
