    Why not. Small for little pools, only four-channels required, easy to take around as carry-on, and I like the smalls stuff.

    diy endcaps made from plastic plugs and orings

    See that you glued the saddle charges to the hull.
    Have this idea of using magnets to make them removable to show an unarmed boat. They also help hide the seam if you're going with a longitudinal hull cut.

    Thank you! It was nice to see Dennis, and to see that he is continuing his production of high-quality, teenie-tiny, easily transported, run-'em-in-the-tub kind of models!!! ;)
