You are suddenly in a hurry. I hope next time I visit you won't be starting to rigg! -

If I'm ever near, I'll come and get a glass of cider, could do with "un calva" although that is from your regional neighbour. Must have been by somebody whose spectacles got lost/stolen that day :) -
Steve, You want white letters, the only way I know you can do that is with white decal paper, or paint them. Printers do not print in white. If you go for the decalpaper, you create an image in paintdotnet, Adobe Photoshop, The Gimp, or whatever program you use for drawing and such. You draw a rectangle and fill it with the colour of the hull, add the white text and print it on the decalpaper, cut it out and slide it on the hull. E.g.

You are a far braver man than I would be. It just shows how the men are seperated from the boys Glad you could fix it easily

You could even extend the walk on the outside to the front ... -

Oui, that's the general idea -

You could cut away some of the hull to make the platform bigger, and have it extend along the sides ... -
You can't use the sprues from your 3D printed parts (just to be on the safe side) I found the sprues from Trumper and Eduard kits behaviour satisfactorily, Revel so so
-
Have you tried soldering paste Pat? I had some good result with 0.3 wire. You could also try to form them from the sprue of a kit (ask Greg, he'll be swamped in those pieces) You heat them and can pull threads from it in any shape, which you in turn can combine to your needs ...

Micheal, I do appreciate the effort you put into solving your problem. It seems most every build has it's perks. However, wouldn't it be easier to cut of X bulkheads at the front and Y at the rear and remake them, add the fill blocks, and sand them down to follow the hull line. I can't suppress the idea it will be very hard to get the curvatures of the hull on both sides equal the way you work on it now, or it will be very difficult to realise.
-
depends, which will be less tricky to put on when the other is present. My plastic builds require me to work from the inside out. I can imagine it's not so much different for you. Although, I do have the stanchions mounted before I add the davits and boats, but my railing is EZ-line and by far easier to attach than your rods

So that excludes you from a certain group Good thinking Jo. Not only Sam's sharp chissel comes in handy, a sharp mind is a real asset too. Did you check if the frames are square on the keel (90 degrees)? You can use your lego for it as it is square on all corners
-
the difference will be minimal, the resistance big enough, but you can't win if you don't try. I only wonder if the bond will be strong enough ...

One will never ever have enough clamps, druxey. Look at it, Amalio can't even finish an entire length ... Another fine day at the shipyard Amalio

To expensive Keith, with shipping and all
-
That sounds like a contradictio interminus. Make something heavier to make it faster. The oddity, to me, if you add weight to the keel you create more friction or suction, which should, genarally speaking, hold you back.

Where did you get your spacer, Keith?
-
Nice plane. Built a 1/72 when I was a boy. You should read up on some of the techniques to bring out details like grooves and such, or will you be weathering her ...
-
Wouldn't it depend on how much you are willing to compromise as a designer on your design, to get a faster boat compared to a stable one ... just wondering

Keith, it has nothing to do with exile. Ever seen an average European garage? Normally it is big enough to get your car in, that's about the whole meaning of garage. After you've gotten it in, you get out of the car and it's shelter either by going through the open roof, if not available you might try kicking out the windscreen. Exile sounds pretty much the better option compared to detention in a mansize hole ... (probably without heating!)
