[bassplayer1]

Really nice work sir!!! It looks great in the water!!! Thank you for sharing!

Your Oscar looks great, very well done. They are a BIG boat. Does any one do a 1/72 "Oscar"?

[Slats]

The thing that really stands out here is how big that Ocsar is in 1/96 cf a 1/48 Gato.
Huge.

Shame your on the other side of the world Mark. I'd love to sail with you and knock back a couple of beers.

Mark beautiful work and what a fantastic location.
I notice your wharf sits on the bottom. I have one that floats and is anchored either end. Do you find that your wharf stays put with wash?

You can see Al Nucis Scaleship Yards 1/48 Gato in the background that he just finished. Its 78" long compared to the Oscars 63".

The trip worked out well in most respects. The water ,unfortunately, was fed by a sulfer spring which I think interfered somewhat with the radio reception. As soon as a dive was started it would lose signal. So videos were not very good. But we got some good stills.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

Well done! Good luck in the water, Mark.

David,

And the second one. Certainly not competition quality, just trying to get something down in video form.

[greenman407]

Thanks Joel and Dave. Here are two videos that I took earlier today.

Well done, Mark. Beautiful!

Make sure Vlad gets an eye-full of what you've done with his kit.

Very, very impressive display -- the flat clear-coat changes EVERTHING!

David,

The big day is tomorrow for running at the new place but Im getting ready now to take it out to my local sub pond to check trim. Here are a few pictures of the completed model ready to go.

[greenman407]

Yes, for sure! Al Nuci has found for us a great new place to go sailing our subs. Its called Oscar Scherer state park. We are going there tomorrow and ill post pictures and video later. Its a white sandy beach fresh water swimming hole of good size with excellent visibility in clear water and the depth gradually goes deeper just like the beach. To a max I think of 5 and a half feet. Looks good. Give you the full story on Thursday.

Yes, finding a video taker is sometimes the problem. When you do, posting video is no problem. Use Youtube or Vimeo and upload your videos of resonable size. On Vimeo, after you register, just click on the Upload button and follow the instructions, its easy. You have your video on file in your "my pictures file" on your PC. When prompted by Vimeo just click on it and your upload is on the way. It usually takes an hour before your video posted to Vimeo is available to posting to the forum. If you need help from there just let me know.
