Nice work but I have a question. Would a larger washer not give your mount the support it needs?

 

[Gator]

 

[Trogdor]

Yeah i Thought about that after i put the Epoxy down i wish i had put a bigger Washer, would of made this Easier and Stronger lol at least i know for next time now, Larger Washer Would of even given the Support i built alittle more surface.

 

[moon puppy]

I think you would have had to epoxied the washer in place if this thing weights anything. That plastic would start giving after some time. Doing good! :captain

 

[Trogdor]

I got a small Washer Under There


Its this one in the pic im nervous for the Future now but i think it hold as long as i don't stress it too much which should be impossible knowing me lol

 

[moon puppy]

Thanks Everyone For the Great Comments it helps me Keep going , I find this Stage of the Build the Hardest for me, Its alot of Sanding and Putty to get the Shape of the Hull Right. Now an Update (sorry its been awhile LoL so busy)

So I Finished all the Intakes Channels inside here is my Process (if you got any Questions just ask ill be galde to give more details on Materials Etc.. i did to make this

I started with the 2 Larger Intake Using Thin Plastic Card< Using a Template for the Other Side

Then I got Crazy :gogo and Said lets do them All lol, I used all my Scraps Up for this, its a Great Way to recycle and Clear my Junk Pile :yipee

Close Up of one of the Vents

Painted Using Tamiya Hull Red

Lucky No one will see this part once is Closed up lol

OK 2nd Update of the Day

So i Started Work on the Hydrophone, The Design on this Kit is Incorrect, Pontos Gives you the Template for the Correct Pattern

Here it is on the Hull you can see the Rainbow Shape Trumpeter Did :laugh: (i Also Marked Center Line so i can Position the Template on Better

Here is the Template on the Fret

You can see the Weird Patern very Random sorda

I forgot to take a Pic of it before i Taped it but Putty and Sanded to Remove the old Hydrophone
