Hi All,

The Cigarette is progressing slowly, brush painting as it's not that warm!! Found a willing driver in the charity shop, have used depron for the cushioning round the cockpit, she's looking fast, we will see in a few weeks time 😀

Regards Ray

Ray. Very nice! I would have made the outdrive legs with rudders, to BE the rudders?

You get some swirling off them from the props making them look real (out drives).

it seems to look more pointy than previous pictures with that paint.

Hi Ashley,

That was my original intention, but the outdrives scale positions are so close together it would be a right fiddle, so keeping it simple with a conventional rudder, I'm tempted to build a slightly bigger version at some stage 😀 hand painting the name on the topsides will be the next challenge !! Your Walrus looks great 😉

Cheers Ray.

Walrus is nice and clean. Was too windy to perform Sunday. Rear elevators seem to be set upwards too much but that was what appeared to work best on a calm day…we will see,#

Pic on my album.

Yes, they do look very close together the out drives.

Hi All,

This another part of the build I wasn't looking forward to ! the name is such a feature, being sign painted on the full-size boat, thought I'd have a go 😀 photograph enlarged on the copier and the print spray mounted onto card to make a stencil for the lettering, cut out with a scalpel and drawn on the hull with a pencil and filled in with a fine brush & Humbrol enamel. The letters need to be shaded red on one side, but I think I got away with it 😯 ?

Hi. Ray, you certainly have 'got away with it' what a suberb job, if there were any mistakes the camera would have shown them up, and what a beutiful boat and a such a quick build.

Regards.

Friendship sloop on the drawing board 😀

Yes, very effective.

Being that sort of chap I would have moved the out-drives further apart, so they could be used asrudders, coz it appeals to me!

Ha Ha Ashley,

Well I would send you the drawing, but it's far too conventional a boat for you to build 😀I

The other reason for the close centres is to keep the props below the water with a deep vee hull.
