Wintergreen Posted December 29, 2024 #216 Posted December 29, 2024 Excellent Vaddoc! It came together beautifully, your launch. I get it that you were in a bit of a hurry to source a prop for your boat and had to take what you got in order to meet the launching day 😉 However, I think you might want to save up for a little bigger prop for next season to get a bit more drive through the tidal streams of your coastline. Nevertheless a very nice looking model it is! "unusual project" - you say... how's that for a cliffhanger 😄 Well, since you so handily linked your new build in your signatur I found you new project. Meet you there. Keep it up! Keith Black 1 Happy modelling!

vaddoc Posted December 31, 2024 Author #217 Posted December 31, 2024 Many thanks to all for your kind words! @Wintergreen I was hoping nobody would notice Hakan! Indeed my calculations were wildly wrong and a bit too late to correct - I had no more brass left and all were too firmly glued with CA. Not to worry though, Hercules will have a massive propeller which I can always make it a bit larger so between the two boats it averages out fine!

Yep, that'll do it 😂 Honestly, it was not ciritisicm, just an observation. Your launch is definitely a piece to admire wherever you place it. It looks gorgeous! vaddoc 1 Happy modelling!
