In order to make it water tight for R/C use, you would have to fiberglass the hull and preferrably seal inside the hull as well.

I've finished planking the hull and skimming the exterior with body filler. I'll lay down the fiberglass cloth and resin when the humidity goes down a bit.

Gave the entire model a blue wash-filter, then added some accent color and rust streaking.

I have hand painted some chipping effects and detailed some raised parts, then gave the entire model a good gloss coat of lacquer. This gloss coat is in preparation for washes and other effects to be added later after it dries thoroughly.

With the exception of a set of deck crew figures not yet in my possession, this project is rapidly coming to a close.
I applied a blue-black wash to the deck then masked and painted some random deck planks in a darker wood color. Next I intend to give one last wash then add a few missing pieces to the deck along with a little detail painting.

I tend to stay away from Modelers Central because of this.

mtdoramike got a reaction from BobG in Miss Chloe by mtdoramike - a Pat Tritle design
I happen to be reading the paper this morning and came across an article about the very style of boat the Miss Chloe is, and there are a few of them actually being used to offer boat rides on a lake not so near me. There are a few differences to these compared to Miss Chloe, like the rounded stern/transom and the canopy extending all they way up to the cabin. I'm going to have to take a little trip over there to take a ride on one of them. I actually like the rounded transom better than the squared one on the Chloe, but we'll see how she turns out, I can always make another one with a round transom.

Hi Harley, if you want the prospective buyer to check shipping cost, they will require the size of the shipping box, the weight and your zip code to get an idea.

I cut out the keel and frames from 1/8" plywood and now planking the hull with 1/8"x3/8" balsa planking. I picked up a square of fabric that I thought would be appropriate and look nice and a bit different than the usual striped canopy top.

This will be a build of a pleasure/river/lake boat, which was designed by Pat Tritle of the Miss Chloe. I will be working off of a set of plans that I obtained from P. Tritle. She will be roughly 26-27" in length and Beam will be about 7.5". I put in an order for the wood needed to build the Chloe from National Balsa. I started off by cutting out all of the frames and various parts from the plan sheet and gluing them to card stock type heavy paper in order to make templates for current and future use. I then tacked up the working plans and will stare at them for a few days in order to get prepared for the build.
Disclaimer: I may decide to make some changes here and there, so don't expect a straight from the plans type of build. You may be dissapointed.

I just go by Harbor freight and buy their cheapo mini wire drill bits, yep, they break, yep they aren't true to size, but they are plentiful, cheap and just down the road from me. I've had $60.00 sets of mini to micro drill bits and found no difference in performance, however they do cut quicker when you first get them, but they quickly dull like they all do.
