Cheers Anvil. Yeah I’m pretty happy how she’s coming along. Couldn’t help myself after the fibre glass dried and was cleaned up, I gave it a quick float test with some clear tape paneling (the ghost ship method) happy she sat true and level. now to get some balsa paneling happening, contact adhesive clamp and repeat, (2.4mm cruiser spec for BigGun.) very fiddly work! and I really need to pickup more clamps
Yeah not looking forward to the stern (the indent from the bulge runs back . Even with wet balsa , slow and steady . .
Pretty happy, Sea trials have begun . . I had to rectify a few pinhole leaks around my bilge keels (small bubbles in a couple of spaces in the fibreglass) I opened them up with a razor blade and ran epoxy along the edge again had sorted that out. A quick grey enamel spraycan job and shes surprisingly stable on the water, but no SS yet. . Has anyone done County Class SS 3D print files? , I’m new to 3D printing but it seems like the way to go . . now to piece together all the components for the fitout, parts are trickling in from online. .
That looks fantastic. I don't know if anybody has a print SS, but I know the guy who would. let me ask him and see if he has done one yet
Cheers Anvil, Hope so, and if so, I may have to buy someone a couple of coffees. (Here are some bonus pics of my other hulls in progress, trying to drag them along with the County build.)
yeah so I talked with Dr. Brian (I'm OtherBryan), and he doesn't have a SS built yet. I'm seeing if we have a copy of the plans right now. it shouldn't be too hard of a project
