    Hi,
    I am moving to Edmonton in August.
    If someone wants a Konig hull and superstructure - no internals -- $75 -- come and get it.
    I also have my Tirpitz, which is complete, but didn't prove fast enough, so needs a little work. I also have it set for a quad stern, so you might want to change that too.
    If you're interested drop me a line.
    I also have an Aoba hull, which is untouched.

    Robert

    Hi Rob,
    I'm sorry to hear you're moving away just as local R/C naval combat is reviving. What are you doing with your Renown mold? If you're selling it let me know - I'd like to make another hull as I sold the one I bought from you to Ian a few years ago. I want to build another light battlecruiser but don't want to cut out my Furious hull - I prefer to build Furious as a non-combat scale R/C model - and the Renown is only a tad longer with a very useful third turret.
    Bob

    Hi Bob,
    The mold didn't survive the second hull. It wasn't very strong, I had a lot of trouble with the gelcoat sticking and by the time I got it off the plug it was ruined. I managed to pull a couple of hulls out anyway but again - gelcoat trouble and bad FG work. John C has the second hull. It was cut out but the FG is not the best.

    Hi Bob,
    The Renown mold is gone. I am just not a FG jockey. There were so many problems with Gelcoat sticking that the mold was ruined after just two hulls - and neither hull was very good.
    John C has the second hull. I had it cut out, but it needs some work since there FG was very uneven,

    Hi Rob,
    I'm sorry to hear the Renown mold is kaput. You captured the hull shape very well - I had to fill some bubbles and do some work on the edge but nothing major. I regret selling it to Ian and have no idea where it is now. Best wishes for your move.
