    at 6.5" it is probably an Alaska, I agree. $250 for a cut hull with nothing in it, though?

    For a sec I was hoping it was one of Rob Stalnaker's stolen boats so the police could get them, but he didn't have any Alaskas.

    The actual holdup on printing is on the computer end... The ABS that I will be printing in gives off vapors that the lady of the house does not approve of, so the printer is relegated to an unused bedroom, but one that doesn't have a computer. I've treid the wife's old laptop but it is too old (Win98, anyone?). So, a short Ebay shopping trip later, a laptop/tablet is on the way and I'll be printing soon in the new room. This is getting to be important to get done (beyond wanting to print), because I am startign to be held up on my build schedule on Malaya for want of printed pieces!
