The rail is probably a good idea. My wife says I lack "spatial awareness".

May not be a stairway to heaven but should make getting in and out of the boat easier. Made this, this morning out of some left-over packing ply.

You're powering. At this rate you'll need another project soon.

Thanks Alan and Pete. Two photos of the top of the transom and side planking. Both of which need trimming and fairing.

Well today I start the rather tedious task of cleaning all of the epoxy glue dags on the inside of the hull. I tried to clean up as much as I could when L was gluing on the first layer of ply, but still a lot to clean up. Eventually after cleaning up the glue I will give the inside a final coat of e...

Well the flip took place yesterday with 4 people and 2 one ton chain blocks. All went really well with no damage or anyone hurt, so you can not ask for anything better than that. Just a couple of photots.

Welcome back Jamie. Pass on my regards to your dad. I am doing the flip on my boat this week-end.

I have a video of it on my samsung tablet. Not sure how to link a video. My favourite is the Mosquito. An amazing plane. A bomber, fighter bomber, fighter, night fighter and high speed reconnaisance as well as torpedo bomber. Could carry the same bomb load as a B17 on a long distance raid and almost...

I am not sure of the name of the company who produce the kit, but do know they were originally based here in Queensland but relocated to the USA because of higher sales volume. I did ask the owner why if they are going to build an 80% scale why don't they go and make a full scale kit. He basicly exp...

I didn't know if it was true, but I had heard that the merlin engine made all the difference.

Personally think the mustang was the better plane.

I know some of the members are also into building planes so I thought they may be interested in my next door neighbours build. He has just finished after a long build. It is an 80% scale Spitfire kit build running on a v6 engine.

So I suppose the same applies for bolts etc when attaching prop strut and rudder port. Both of these are bronze (not totally sure as to what alloy) and I have a choice of through bolting these with backing plates using silicone bronze or stainless. As well as the corrosion of the stainless, would yo...

Probably a filler before I started epoxying would have been the go but now I have a few layers on I am not sure that will work. Bill is probably right and I am stressing about nothing. Anyway I have a couple of layers of clear coat to go yet which could solve the problem.
