Your MG that started off as a hull

Ok Mac no prob, just dont want your hard work lost in the mail...

I got a bit tired of searching the net for some boat drivers, so I decided to try scratch-building instead. I got a GI Joe head with a tank or helicopter (cant remember) helmet and decided to add bondo to shape into a more modern racing helmet. I cut a discarded GI Joe body to make it into a bust.

I just wanted to follow up on this which I also posted in Jim's Dock.
I got the driver molded and after it got molded, I remade the head differently to make it a bit nostalgic. Atleast to have 2 different heads to fit 1 single body.
I just got the fiberglass product pull of the first driver and was eager to see how they will look painted up. Painting is still my waterloo so do excuse my meager attempt at it.

Here's the first fiberglass product pulls.
Separate head and body so they could be interchanged. Hollow inside to place foam for floatation.
Last would be my meager attempt at painting.

Will the overhang accomadate those Mardon.I have a pair in my HOR shopping cart along with a FE motor for one of the gas guys.They may get me to the dark side but not without attrition.LOL

If my 110mm stingers go out of alignment again I will have to get those pedestal ones for the Shocker.Unless you think the Komodo can be faster.

Went out this morrning and ran my vhull and MG,, well the vhull still isnt running wright and the mg ran great but hit something and bent up the rudder bracket,had to use my brothers fishing rod to get it she was floating upside down but dry inside when i got her in,,, i bent it back down alittle so i could finish out my batteries and at that time had a boat sitting off shore watching so back in she went then the bolt that connects the pushrod to the rudder arm fell out and she would only got straight wich offcorse was straight out away from me but the boater saw this and offerd to go get it and he did after i worrned him about the prop, so gotta fix it before the next time!!! heres some pics..

[HYDROJERRY]

PS i finally got my goodies in the mail, super excited!! very nice job Mardon, i love it and my brother was her when the mail man got her with it and was worst then me, like a kid!!hahaha So i had to take some pics..sorry on one of the pics my brother told me to act stupid so there you go..

[srislash]

Now for paint eh,Jerry.Gonna look good.

[HYDROJERRY]

thats wright just as soon as i can match it or close enough to it.. Also when i got home from running yesterday, if you remember i said i tore the paint on the Genesis hatch due to sticking plastic bag over it well my luck was bad, i rewetsanded it and got a new can of clear sprayed it twice nice and think, looked great but after it dryed witch took awhile for some reason but it dryed like flat looking, gess it was a old can sitting on theyre shelf so i let it sit in the sun and back and went back to walmart and got another can rewetsanded it again and sprayed it again this time it dryed quick and looked pritty good so now im done with the frickin paint (thank god),,,, how long do you guys thin i should wait before i can put some wax on it??? When i paint my hulls i spray it as smooth as i can wich usauly looks as smooth as what youd see on a new car, cuz i dont like the hole wetsand and polish thing but after im all done i like to put some wax on it just to help keep it glassy..

[srislash]

I have been waiting a week Jerry with my clear before I do anything to it.

[HYDROJERRY]

Eeek, i just saw your reply Srislash, i waxed it this morrning before i started putting her back together, hope it dosent screw up the paint. Well threw out the day i put her back together here and there so im almost done heres some pics..
