1/96 Romeo - Wherefor art thou?

[HardRock]

Time for action. I don't much like to lower hull mould so I'm going to do ir again. So far the thixo has just made this rubber runnier! Might take a number of coats to get to the right thickness.

Getting some weight and balance tips from Commander Dog earlier today.

Thanks Bart. Eagerly awaiting the launch of your Akula.

I’m working as fast as I can Scott...... compared to me the ratio you're building is 3/1
Darn you are fast man.

I want a kit of this ROMEO. And I want one now! Who do I have to kill to make this happen?

David

OK. Its official - I ****ing hate fiber glass. The damn stuff sticks to EVERYTHING like **** to a blanket, except the damn mould. I've made three hulls and they all look like ****. There are wrinkles on my wrinkles and holes in my holes. I think I'll just carve a couple of boats out of cement. I'm sure that that will be easier.



Meanwhile I am adding some detail to the Romeo now that I know it floats.

if it will help you I'll write up a WIP over the weekend on how to glass up hull parts from rubber tools?

Thanks Mate. I went back and read some of your earlier stuff and spent most of yesterday reading up on the process. Looks like I was doing most things wrong! I laid up two hulls last night so I'll go out in a minute and see how they turned out.

Apparently you have exceeded your private message quota. Can you PM me your address again. Several computer crashes and one move later, I find that I can't find it - or as they say in Welsh, "There is was, gone".

And what SD can I fix you up with?

Thanks Mate. No reciprocation required. I'm already well in your debt.
