two more coats of wax and then PVA. I am going to have to figure out the attachment of the sponsons, it will be a lot like the WE.

Yayy, love it all clear’ish like that. Bit of airbrush work and good to go:cool2:
And look what my brother found me, claims it was off some Bigfoot toy truck. It may fit on Randy and be lighter than the one behind it

Dang, that’s a beautiful motor! That would look awesome Shawn!
What scale are the V8 motors and where do I get one? Looking for one for my 40" jet boat. Cheers, Steve
That block/deck mold was started, but not finished yet.
I fitted the main body of the boat last week before I caught the flu. Luckily I was over my sickness by Xmas.
1/6 scale, hear is a link to the one I am using:

A new process I have been thinking about. Is to take the wet cloth and squeegee a thin film of slurry on to the cloth to make a clean CF finish. Light and strong. No need to paint good looks and no water leakage with CF. Also close to look of infusion but much stronger. This is the result

That looks fabulous Randy. And don’t worry about getting old, it happens to the best of us. As long as you are enjoying yourself that’s all that matters.
I actually just had this conversation Saturday with Andy. Just keep the love.
Shaun this your boat waiting to have the sponsons mounted.

Working on getting a scale scoop for the boats. I found a guy in canada to make one with a 3d printer.

I found this guy on facebook "Scale Design by MrcommaD". Any body know the manufacture of the scoop so we can get more scale detail?
Yes the scoop will be the three butterfly type that sticks up in the air a long way!
