    30min and 80grit sand paper with light pressure I got one of the sponsons taking shape.
  12. 14Boats
    More sanding it looks like glue and balsa behaved and stayed put now fully cured (it got to stay inside last night).

    A little elf came and did a ton of sanding and fitting of some critical curved sections I had already pre bent.

    I am using the boat as a form before gluing down the decking or finishing out the sponsons. I’ll have some more clamping options and power to hold the correct shape. I am Just going to let some natural moisture from the rain / snow moving in do the work for me. This maybe the last appearance of the pew pew weights. They have other duties on the books after getting dusted off mike

    I may need assistance with the type of glue needed for these curved sections of plywood on the sponson sides. What glue will bond to a wet piece of wood? The products mentioned in these instructions are considered vintage.

    Thank you Ryland. It was good fun for a few days. The plastic pieces are a bit cracked in places but I think trim tape and paint should hide them.

    View without the “weights” and another angle. I get the feeling I still have a long way to go. im off to do honey do list while the glue sets fully. I’ve been in the garage far too long, I hear. Lastly .... side note. the Nitro motor is a huge mystery. But it and the prop shaft appear to be a perfect fit

    hi! I Just started a model to pass some time. I thought I’d share some photos of the build. this is a old kit from eBay I found. I started searching for kit that would match a vintage gas water cooled motor that needed a place to sit I doubt I’ll ever run it but I’d like to build it like I would. I was thrilled to see other builds on here based on this kit and have used them to help me along. I decided to share my adventure in a photo journal. I have mistakes in early pictures but have corrected them and moved on. That’s a whole different story Im on day two and I can say this kit has helped me and entertained me 10x over the investment cost. Bang for the buck here is off the chart. Kid at heart. Only missing one here to share it with first hand. I Highly recommend some ship building in these times this is a vintage kit from the ‘70’s but still on Dumas Boats Website.

    I’ve got progress photos. I’ll most likely will start one. Im not so good at words but do enjoy a good project and can work a camera and possibly answer kit questions. thank you sir for your encouragement mike ps I have 2 ships from a furniture showroom prop room in Highpoint nc. I do need to start a thread about them and see what I can learn

    hi all! I’m going to join the fun. Great information here and I enjoyed the back story just as much. I just started my build. I found this site and post after I got my kit in hand. I feel lucky to have this to follow and cross reference. I was thinking vintage nitro but I like a shelf queen too. Less stress. Maybe brushless?? I also just learned that this kit is still maybe available from DumasBoats still minus the decals -mike
