Default RE: Unofficial home of the Dumas USS Crockett

My first Crocket took me 2.5 years to build. I've got only 2 and half days of work into this one. [X(] (I'm retired Air Force ) The kit is not what I seem to spend the most time on, it's the website. Got a few weeks worth of work into the new part of the site and I'm even editing the pages for the first Crockett build. This weekend I plan to fiberglass the hull and set the locations for the stern tubes. I'm thinking of going with 1.5" four bladed props. Thats .5" smaller than the 3 bladed ones that came with the kit. They will look more scale and the motors will turn them easier. I ordered some oilite bearings to make the "A" struts with last week. So I hope they come in on Friday...

Nice touch with the sailor. I thought that was the HR chocks... Like to see more pics when you get them ready.
