I'm gonna have to slow down before long. LOL the wife told me I must sell on of my toys to get the money to buy my motors and hardware. 5 weeks on waiting on a part, man that would kill me. Could you use a prop from a diffrent company?
This afternoon I removed all of the paint(scraping and sanding) I was not happy with the results. Got most all of it repainted, just have the handrails on the aft deck and the cargo rails to repaint.
Installed the doors on the cabin, the handles and knobs was a pain. The windows I used plexy-glass and painted the back side wide a gloss black to give it a tinted window look. The next crew boat I build, thinking about going with clear glass and putting detail inside of the cabin. I got the wild idea of building the life rafts from wood, cutting and sanding to shape them, this is taking some work. Also thinking about cutting the wheels from wood(I must have lost my mind, LOL).
Made all of the deck boards for the cargo deck, this really help a lot on the looks of it being a crew boat.
Thanks Tim, all of my hulls come together fast, then I get to the finish work, then it slows way down. This hull I have a little over 60 hours into it, counting designing and making the layouts. AutoCad really helps out a lot on the time it takes off of building. It takes out about 95% of useing a tape meassure and pencil. I just print it out 1 to 1, spray some glue on the back of the print, stick it to the wood and cut it out. Takes the worry out of having the lines drawn wrong, and the parts come together exactly right. Some parts I don't try to lay out, but I scribe them as needed(bottom and sides)
Again thanks, this is some of my better work, I'm proud to say I'm building it.
