Sorting out the arse end.

10 degrees cooler still makes it 32C in there today. I think I'm getting thinner by the day.

Nice work, Scott,


It reminds me of the stickers you see on the back of V8 HSV Holdens, 'I just want one'.

is the shed 10 degrees cooler?

I think I'm done. There could be a lot more scribing (and repairing of scribing) but its heading for overkill. Waiting for the silicon to arrive.

I see the occasional ding that need filling. Set up a single, strong light source directly over the master, about five-feet from it. This will throw solid shadows that will reveal the dings hidden by fill light (typical shop lighting and Mr. Sun). Work it, shop-slave! Be productive! Huba-huba!

If you elect to got the glove-mother mold route I'll post here a complete, sleep-inducing tutorial, complete with pretty pictures. I dare you!

That thing is turning out bad-ass! Well done!

[HardRock]

Thanks Mate. Green it is.

I don't often fawn all over someone's project. But .... I must say: Wow! This ROMEO is a real piece of work. Well done, sir! Love the dishing between frames and stringers effect you achieved on the two domes. This attention to detail, and credible representation, is an eye catcher. Oh, yeah, you'll have to paint this one green. You know that, right?

OK, enough kissing your ass. Finish it!

Props arrived today. Hurrah!!!


And I have devised a plan to do the dome. I'm going to sand the bejesus out of this once it dries and see what it looks like.

Geeezzzz Dave, do you own a photo editing program - just sayin'

Who's that dude in the background with the chicken legs? Oh, it me!

Its a rather warm 45 degrees C in my workshop this afternoon. (That's 113 F for you trogladites who refuse to be dragged into the metric age). Not much happening as a result other than a few experiments to see how things might go. Still haven't found an acceptable way to replicate the coverings on the sonar domes.

[HardRock]

Thanks. I'm on it.
