RE: scale lights

A nice trick with LEDs is to sand the dome so that it is "frosted" - that way the LED gives you a nicer diffuse light...just fyi.

RE: US Coast Guard - 87ft Patrol Boat "Ahi"

RE: WITCH BOAT, WITCH BOAT!!!!

Are the spinning radar bars on that tug a pre-made part that one could buy, or are they modified / scratch built?

RE: what matterials can you build from

How about Cedar? Used to be popular for wooden Canoes (I think there are still some high-end mfg's using Cedar too).

RE: Electric conversion jetted Nitro Vee project

RE: My New Hammer - With Onboard Camera.
