Slowly, slowly - makee November.

He seems to submerge quite well. What sort of propulsion system are you using in him - and what does he run on? (I'm assuming Weatbix, but I could be...

[HardRock]

This has been so much fun - both in the building and the watching. I thought that my bit was OK, but you have taken that pig's ear and made something...

[HardRock]

Its hard to believe that this started life as a Robbe kit boat. Amazing attention to detail and dogged determination won out ion the end. Well don...

[HardRock]

Yes. I thought so too. I took the shape of the sectioned drawing that you sent me. Quite thin and quite high. Also quite square.

[HardRock]

Thanks Jörg. I'll make both and see which I prefer later on.

[HardRock]

Have a look at the front of the sail in this photograph. o Not vertical - its raked!


I have two sets of plans that have two different...

[HardRock]

Look at that wee beastie. Magnificent job.

[HardRock]

The lengths that some men will go to, to get a little attention!

[HardRock]

As I can see BOTH of your hands in these photographs (and having previously determined that you are NOT an octapus), I surmise that you have a PARTNER...

[HardRock]

Ivy Bells (and that prick Aldrich Ames), 1/96 Parche - still my beating heart!

[HardRock]

And once more David and Bart step off into the great void of double entendre!

Spectacular work Bart. I noticed that spotty Beluga on the...

[HardRock]

When I look back at the things that you have done I realize two things; 1. there won't be another one of you along anytime soon, and 2. I'd better get...

[HardRock]

It was wrong - no option but to fix it. Es tut mir Leid.

[HardRock]

So there has been a bit of re-planning since Jörg came up with the nice new plans. There will be a new and substantial keel and a much slimmer rear...

[HardRock]

Yep. It sure seems that way. Jörg sent me a GREAT drawing of the rear showing the appropriate cross sections. Needless to say I'm in modicication mode...
