New 1/72 Golf II kit

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

The lesser of two evils. I400 vs Victor III

Though I've had yellow-fever since Pearl, I still prefer the boats built by round-eyes.

Dave I thought you were a DBF guy?

In my heart, but there's nothing sexier looking than the HEN's and second-generation Soviet attack boats.

How about I do this boat in 1/96 for my next boat? Will have to steer clear of epoxy.

How about a VICTOR-3?

Stupid epoxy resin. Should just burn the hulls for making me ill. Wait a minute you have to be a little ill to be a ex bubble head. Paint the lower hull green?

George I out paced my materials for the Golf. I only had enough material to make one Golf hull. Thank god because the epoxy resin made my eyes swell so I look like I went 15 rounds with George Forman.

Hi Tim

The molds look great! Smooth and ready for production. Pace yourself and take a break to get your health back.

Here are the hull molds. They came out perfect. For you guys that make molds take my advice and my buddies advice and make the surface coat how I described and your molds will come out the best you will ever make them. Now all I have to do is figure out what weight cloth and materials to make the hulls out of. I already have 3 complete sails and resin parts for 3 kits. Depends on how much cloth and resin I have on how many kits I can make but looks like only 3. So if any of you wants a kit let me know. Price for each will be $450-500 plus shipping. Depends on time and materials. After I make and sell the kits that is it. I am moving back to Dallas and who knows if I will have the time to make anymore.

OR Tim
You remember what they told you when you were younger, a LONG TIME AGO, you`ll go blind doing that with your hand! hahaha

George I use all the epoxy outside and use rubber gloves. Eye protection won't work because I think it is maybe small amount of fumes. Bottom dollar is I will have to quit making molds or use vinyl ester resin.

Hello 598602G or Tim
Your eyes gettin swollen? Too many dam russian old type subs with all those bloody vent holes! Typhoon 1/150 easier to make. Ever try using eye protection of some kind?

Here it is half of the Golf mold done. The method I told you on how to make the sealant for the parting board works perfect. I had almost 0 bleed through of the surface coat getting past the seal. It is official this is the last submarine mold I am going to make because of the epoxy health issues with me. I will be lucky to make a couple of kits before my eyes get to swollen.
