I was cruising the blogs, and saw this from 3 years ago, I'm guessing you're retired now%uD83D%uDE06! We're able to finish it? Your perseverance is commendable.

How do you simulate the spray pattern? Most monitors just stream.

Wonderful hobby! I live 1800 miles from my Dad! Will be seeing him this week in Seattle, we're going to Tacoma for reference photos of the AlkI Fireboat, it's in dry dock on display, can finally capture the below water line details! Pop is "onboard" with the outing!

HI Mark,
Its for the superstructure, I haven't
been able to find vertical grain in a 48"
Length, the 3 ply 1/16" thick is available
In that length. Thanks for responding!

Hi!
This is a scratch build from plans, of the "Angel's Gate II" , at the Los Angeles Maritime museum. This example has a bilge pump, diesel horn, and will be adding a fire monitor. My nephew is pretty excited about it, he is 4, and already has been practicing with the transmitter!
