Kinda.
Jake and I are preparing for the January Cabin Fever event Cabin Fever Expo | Cabinfeverexpo This is a monster r/c vehicle, internal and external combustion model engine exhibition, and Machinists play-land. The event held in Amish-country, Lebanon, Pennsylvania. The venue features a very, very large indoor pool (about 18" deep) for we r/c boat and submarine drivers.
Still, the pool is of a relatively small foot-print so the ships and submarines have to be of a small size if they are to turn effectively in such confined waters. Here's a video of this years event that Jake, Ken and I attended: https://youtu.be/5Hh1DEixDQM Note the size of the pool and the very enthusiastic audience.
Jake ran his 1/96 Type-21 there last year, and I want to sortie out with him with my own unit to maneuver with the several Kriegsmarine warships that will be there, assisting them in our world conquering efforts to make the pool safe for National Socialism.
I'm trying to get at least five boats ready for the event: SEAVIEW; a 1/96 ALBACORE, Type-21; 1/144 XIA, Type-214; and 1/35 X-Craft. I've got less than three months to get all that done and the boats trimmed out properly to make the event.

Hey, Rob. Looks great.David,
Your Alfa boat is very impressive and so exact to scale. Your finish work ,well there are no words to describe the attention detail that you do..
I finally got my Alfa water tested and put a rattle can finish on it. The only reason I use this type of simple finish is because of the constant and worsening Macular Degeneration that I am dealing with now. I am going to try and use my magnifiers and see if I can do some addition scale type work on what I have. I am going back over and looking at your work and try to improve the more scale look..

Clearly, Firemen are made of tough stuff.
Your infirmities and point-specific ailments: you face them head-on, and without flinching. Magnificent. Keep up the good fight, pal. You're showing us how.
And, when that DAY arrives, let the world recognize your final trip to the grave; identified by defiant earthen claw marks between death-bed and hole-in-the-ground... hopefully, many enjoyable years preceding 'that day'. Keep swinging, pal. Fill that room of yours to the ceiling with good work.
