Another brute! Interesting change of pace. Will she be dry docked or waterline?

Good report, glad you got a show. So where's the after action report?

Agreed, really like those Lots of talent on display. Thanks for reporting James. I feel like we've been missing out on shows around here lately.

They look great. :vgood:

Forget about those pins. waste of money. Got some more fitting done. The back of the cockpit cowling had to be thinned really deep because the cockpit rear bulkhead poked up higher than I had room for. Don't know why but I got the parts even across the top now. Everything else seems to fit...

Thanks Paddy, I'm humbled... :blush:

Stick a fork in her, we're done. I know I said a pair so maybe another Ming in the future. For those eagle eyed ones, the foot step on the left side has been added. It was the last part I intended to put on. Only challenges I had with this kit were self inflicted, I didn't test fit the upper...

Looks great Glenn :popcorn

Wow Paul, what are you going to make with that thing? I know "anything I want" :lol:

It was definitely a mid mounted motor because we had to stop in the dead of night in the middle of Lake Sinclair and lift the cover to do something with the carb. May not have been a double cab, maybe one could go from the back but the bow was completely covered, no bow riders. I remember...

OK What's the QR code on the air cleaner and does it work? :lol:

If that one shooting under the horses neck survived I'm sure Bill Cody put him to work years later. Been reading a bunch of non fiction westerns lately.

An old buddy of mine married a gal who's father built a Chris Craft from the kit they offered years ago. They even had the spare mahogany plug dowls stored away. Mid engine and I want to say it was like a double cockpit, rumble seat like.

Amazing results. Well done sir! :notworthy

Yous guys still see ads? :bm:

I'm humbled with the complements. Amazing what a flat coat does. Testers Dulcoat. I don't know what's going on with that right aileron. Maybe it was still damp when I shot the photo. See the damage to the blue. Screw it, it stays. Happy little accident. Cowling stays shiny. Nice...

:blink

I think this is the first time i've seen the quilts represented in anything.

Pin wash on the wing ribs. I guess I didn't seal the underside of the wings as well as the top side, mineral spirits attacked the paint. It's not bad, ads some randomness to the finish. Flat coat next.

So let me follow this. you've now got molds from the master models you built. Those molds will be use to cast kits. The PE detail like the rail around the conning tower, how does the resin deal with that void? Will it be that thin when you remove the casting from the molds?
