thanks for the reply, yes we are very fortunate with fantastic weather here and it was a great day for our first launch we even had the press there. I was over there a few years back at Christmas time and it snowed heavily and I feel for you all when you have your winters.
Thanks for the great website, I thought it would be nice to let everyone know that we exist in SA and would welcome visitors when they are out here.
- wombatjamesLeading SeamanPly parts are router cut, as you see them in the build photos. Only the hull formers are balsa and you cut them out with a craft knife. 3mm balsa. Hull skins are 0.8mm ply and deck and cabin is 1.5mm ply. Gun bits and torpedos are provided as plain dowels so you have to do a little bit of scratch finishing. Comes with a very basic motor about 200 size and a simple tube, prop shaft and prop. For a little boat it has a lot going for it. Didnt glass hull, used ordinary PVA, sanding sealer, spray car high build primer, spray grey primer and gloss.
