Seadolphin build time
Crikey... This is more of a task than i had first thought. Certainly not 'ready to run' as often described. So far, i have needed to...
-Reinforce the inside of the hull at the join with ABS; removing the seam would make this dangerously thin.
-Trim away the seam itself- lucky i reinforced it, as a small hole appeared in the hull.
-Fill the many grooves and dimples in the hull, especially around the join between top & bottom of hull.
-Glue the hopellessly fitting bow section onto the hull, filling the seams with excess glue.
-Filing, sanding, and polishing the bow to attain a near original finish.
This has taken ages... it had better be worthwhile!
