      I 3D printed the HMS Holland. Still needs a little more finish work!

          I love the look of the Holland boats, and, they work surprisingly well with that teardrop shape and stern plane configuration.

              Very Nice. Wish you could come to Georgia.

                  Thank you Casey!

                  I wish I could make it, but I will certainly be there in spirit. I will really be looking forward to your reports and most of all photos and videos.
                  I hope you all have a SAFE and wonderful time this year!!
