    Still hard at work on the Doomsday Devices. They will fight at the first battle, although they won't sail at the first G&M event this Sunday. Also started to refit a pocket battleship for another club member. I left my camera at a friends house after a build session and will get it back this weekend, which is why there haven't been any new photos.

    Still moving, very slowly on the Spee. I just got a large order in including my radio, detail parts, decking, and siding/dope.
    I need to redo the servo mount for my rudder and the deck will be going on next. Also, im going to start laying out internals soon.

    Yup. Started work on a FN Gascogne for Treaty. Last night I corrected the deck level on the Richelieu based hull into the Gascogne's smaller and more forward deck outline. I also made the prop shafts, marked out, and cut one channel in the hull for a prop shaft. :)

    Swamped at work - been working extra hours and sleeping most of the time I'm not.
    Hoping to get printouts ready for my Mehoshi Maru Revisit project to do some rib cutting this weekend.

    Bismarck proceeding as planned, mounted servo for rudder, motor in, made prop shaft, 970 in place and screams, handmade rudders made and installed. Tomorow finishes up the motor wiring and starts the rear gun placements.

    Well I have my plywood, balsa, lightweight regulator, bottle, BC Hardware kit, BC Cannon kit, BC Bilge pump, Solenoids, and other stuff.. just need my plans from Floating Drydock and the hull from Swampy. I'll get the TD boards, radio and NiMH batteries in a month or so.

    Even without the hull you can start building your radio box, make accumulation tanks, do some wiring. Get moving battle seson is here.

    I had hoped to have the Des Moines finished for the Battle down in Louisiana, but I am currently moving. Trying to finish up internals(CO2 and wiring) so I can put her through some trials.

    Yeah, I've been completely off board this last few weeks. I check it once or twice a day, to make sure there is nothing pressing for me to do... but then I'm off again.

    I just released a new beta of my software again (Monday), so I have been working days & nights & weekend to get it out... and since Monday, I've been cleaning up things that were missed in testing.


    Once I get home @ 10PM, I have no interest in touching a computer... On the plus side, however, I spend some time yesterday cleaning up my garage in preparation for a new bench! :) YEAH!!
