will you be sailing this boat?your workman ship is getting really sharp mate.mobear

Yes Ole. This will go on the water. I switched from planes to boats for that very reason. In the past i have been too scared to fly my creations for fear of crashing and destroying them. With boats i dont have that fear and it is a more relaxed hobby.

I completed the last two hatches now and decided to move onto the funnels next.

Thanks Ole, i think it turned out ok. I carried on with the Funnels tonight, Quite a lot of dremel work and sanding with the sticks. You cant quite see from the pics but the moulding had quite some surface sags in them. I sanded the surfaces for primer and managed to level them all out.

They are a fantastic tool to have. I have a cordless one and a mains one. I also have the multi function pedastal for it to that allows you to do everything even routing.
