Have to figure out how to mark it before I can land a helo there!

Cheers. T

Hey Tom

Still poking around on this beastie?

It's up at home in Fairbanks at the moment in my studio. I will be back there in a few days and after getting the pre snow stuff done around the house. Finishing details have been interrupted by work on the Alaska and Summer work. I do need to get it finished and cased.

Cheers: Tom

She looks amazing!! What a wonderful skill you have! I just wish I could be that good now! Though, I think the main turrets look slightly weird...but I might just be seeing things.
And I think the screws were not turning correctly. RH and LH switched? They were still correct two pages before...did you switch them? Otherwise,

Do you have more shots of the hull when it was still a keel and undergoing skinning? I would love to see them

Hi:

I originally had the screws turning the wrong way and are correct now. The hull was originally built in 1965 when I was in High School. In the early 90's I corrected the bulbous bow area and modified the stern and rudders and began the conversion to the late configuration. The rudders and prop shafts were originally set up for a possible RC, but the ex wife disposed of the RC gear so I never bothered. I am at the point of having to build a base and a case.

Working on Alaska, skiing, skating and playing hockey have also occupied a lot of time.

Cheers from the frozen North!
