Hi Garth!! Almost!! I am getting ready to clean up all the deck fixtures in a bit! I still need to procure some paint for the deck I think. Might be a bit easier to paint the deck empty rather than masking everything off I will have to think about it!!  |

Nice trick for that line, T  Given the dimension of the thing, you'll need a loooot of paint |

Why worry, each of us is wearing an unlicensed nuclear accelerator on his back.

You might know I have been profoundly deaf since birth. But I swore I could hear that OT 109 kit calling my names when I was at LHS last Saturday...   $150... maybe in my next life unless you give up and let me finish it for you. ;D Looking forward to your next update! LOL |

If I didn't have sooo many queens to finish I would love to do a PT or Schnell boat.
Very nice work so far T.

I'm with Boots on this one..."Chris is to blame" ;D Ian - Glad you could make it!! Garth, those pics sound promising!! I never heard back about the muffler brackets or even prints. Oh well...not going to sit still much longer. I will make what I think (which could be correct) and then progress. That would be the status btw, just waiting to hear. |

Well, I've been told by her, "I'm busy." LOL....my wife Garth? ;D ;D ;D ;D I know who you meant!!! All good....below! Nice Boss!! I'm trying!! ;D After working for a bit on a project to help out a good friend...yes, model related too!! I did finally sit with the Big Girls here. My problem was the brackets that held the mufflers off the transom. There is one on the kit and this is "post" style. I needed to make up some U-shaped brackets from what I seen a picture. With some leftover PE I made an attempt.  My apologies for the table shot...too late to run down and snap something clean.  You can see a small silver washer type item up at the top of these.....well, it's a washer...LOL!! Where the exhaust pipe connect to the Transom, there appeared to be a cover plate around the pipe...think this will work out! Thanks for having a peek!!! |

Even with the wind to my back Andy....I don't think this will be done before the end of the month!! I would be lucky to finish the L/70 base before then!!  |

Nice progress T.! Nice touch with the washers too. Might take hurricane strength wind at your back to finish for MoM...and then it would be tight at that! Gary |
