Looking good, pal.

Thanks David!

I am very happy with the cut lines, no Styrene needed, used Rage in two spots, the magnetic hold down is perfect

Off topic, but when ham radio camping is done, on to the XXIII for a winter project.

I am going to use Prop from Danny,

Looks like it's 3D printed in resin.

[Das Boot]

Groovy. Easy Peasy.

Dave,
did you add any grates on the bottom of your XXIII? I didn’t notice in Georgia.

Nope. Just simple, no sweat, open flood-drain holes.

How small should the limber holes be, L x H?

Same as the extreme forward limber hole.

[Das Boot]

No!

What the hell were you thinking?

You thought making the corners within the too tall limber holes at their tops match the form of the corners at the bottom would fix these awful sphincter looking holes???

Damnit!

Rebuild with CA-baking soda grout within the holes top edge to reduce their height. Fine-tune the holes with files, sanding sticks, sandpaper twists of #240 sandpaper and god-knows-what to get them to proper shape.



Oh! Forgot to add these shots to show how to induce a tight radius into strip stock using a pinch-stick. File this trick away for future use. You're welcome!



You people!



David

Talk about anal.

HAHAHA! Yeah, some people are hard to teach! (me)

You're a good sport.
