Fiji Hull

Does anyone know where I can get a Fiji hull? I checked the SCRAP Hulls page ( www.scrapcombatships.com/hulls.html ) for a 1/144th scale fiberglass hull and while there used to be one listed by, I believe Ralph Coles and then by Steve Hill, it does not appear to still be available. How can I get one of these?

 

Steve Hill is on this forum under the name 'portwatch', As far as I know he still has the mold.

 

MCW13, Steve Hill not only has the mold but he has a hull ready to go. He will sell it for $60 CDN. If you are nterrested you can message him directly or post here and I will get in touch with him. He can sometimes be hard to contact. Sorry for the delay in posting this, I forgot about it. I have an excellent memory but the information retrieval system is faulty.

That sounds like a good idea. I sent him a private message on the system a month ago but I haven't received a reply yet. Let's see, 60CDN is about 55USD currently so that's a good deal! Please let me know how I can contact him directly.

 

You can make one take the waterline plate and make sort of a box from it all you need is wood,glue,and a bandsaw

 

MWC13, has Steve gotten ahold of you yet?
J

 

No, he never did. I even sent him another e-mail. Still no answer.

 

I'll call him again if you'ld like.

If you think that would help at all.

 

I talked to Steve last night, he says he hasn't received any e-mails, but he is pretty sure he has a different e-mail address hooked up to this forum. He still has the hull and is wiling to part with it.

MWC13,
Did you receive the message from me with Steve's e-mail address?
J

 

Yes and I mailed him on the 11th but I have not received a response.

 

OK, I will find out what happened. Believe it or not, he DOES want to sell the hull. I'll let you know,

A quick question for you, do you have any idea about motors, gears and props to get a Fiji to speed?
J

 

I'd probably take a look at using a single 550 with the BC 1 motor to 2 shaft gear box.

 

We thought about that too, but don't have a clue which pinion gear and props to use.

Nothing from Steve yet. You did tell him to send me an e-mail this year, correct?

 

There has to be something wrong somewhere. i was at his place last Thurs and he said he hasn't received an e-mail from you yet.
PM me your e-mail and I will get it to Steve and I will PM you his now.

Did you get my PM with my e-mail address?

 

Hi, I did get it and forwarded it to Steve. He did not receive the e-mail from you. He should e-mail you soon.
