Nice to see ya again Gill and thank you for battery information. I know it will work for me later.
Looking good for sure. Steven. I would think about doing some hull sealing work be for you go much more . I know it is not fun but you could run into a problem . BUT setting up the rudders and everthing elest to make sure everthing will work is a good idea also. Well itlooks like were all back together again. THE building team is one now. DON

GILL RC · Nov 17, 2009, 01:26 PM

Sorry Steve. I work a 9-5:30 (sales manger for Polks Hobby & electrometrical engineer for Arsito Craft I also handle LMP motors div.) and I'm on line all day. SOOOOOOOOOOOO week ends and nights I don't even want to see a computer. I am not on line at home.
To beat the traffic I get here between 7-7:30 and we leave at 5:30 that gets me home between 6:30 - 7:30 Then if not too tired I work on the models, as I said there are 28 on my work list now. I hope to deliver 2 this week, but I have 1 coming so I should be down to 27 by the end of the week.
I guess you could say I’m busy , but I am having fun. Oh on top of this I do animal transports. Next Tues or Wed I will pick up 6 cats, foster them over the holiday then the following week end Take them from N.J. to Mass.
I can't believe how fast your comming along with your build. I thought I was fast, but you've got me beat and real nice work.

The wee hours can be productive time. The phone's not ringing, the TV's off and you can concentrate and get a lot done. Being retired helps a lot.

Rustbucket · Nov 17, 2009, 08:30 PM

Hey I will agree on everthing you saying.
Since I have been retired for a few years. MY best working time is from 10 or 11 pm to about 2 or 3 in the morning. IT is your and your project . maybe a radio or TV in the back grown and during the winter heat and coffee or Tea for me. YUP I get a lot done during those hours when I get started . But then again I have my days that I can get alot done if nothing has to be done and dont have some honny due's or have somewear ;-)
BUT that comes during the day sometimes.
Don.

I'm with Don, Tv on on the other side of the shop. Coffee or tea. Then work mode and I can almost finnish a model in on night. Thank god the wife understands (she is #3 and a keeper) She cuts the grass and works on the yard, so I can build, yes some customer and some mine. But when you walk into a hobby show and she turns and says what do you want this year, a sub or a heli, or she says I need to buy a trailer so that we don't have to unload her truck on Sunday night. Then says I would like an other shelf in the pantry, All I can say is YES DEAR!

pulsar110 · Nov 18, 2009, 10:23 AM

Gill you have the setup for sure. im with you on the tv in the background. i have tenitus so having things quiet dries me crazy.

Rustbucket · Nov 18, 2009, 10:51 AM

Good morning Well I saw 2;30 last night or I should say this morning befor I knew it then I decided it was time to stop befor I screw something up . yup I saw those wee hours.;-) that were all talking about and Gill I know those words well yes Dear. BUT it dose pay off in the long run. LIKE last night she was doing some bakeing and the shop door and she brought down some home made goodys .
LIKE I say I will agree with ya Gill those words do pay off.

Hi Guys - I am getting the shapes where the guns go done in Milliput - This stuff is pretty cheap and easy to work with - Took some time to get the decks on right for the Superstructure to fit nice and snug. Tomorrow I will do the Bow - Steve

Steve Hanson · Nov 23, 2009, 08:34 AM

Hmm - Well I seem to have posted a couple of pics to the Discussion end of this build that I started before I got the boat. It's link is at the beginning of this thread. Anyways - I have done a bit of priming on the hull - I will do some more later as the coat is a bit thin in places but it seems to show up all the flaws Nicely where it did get the correct amount of primer! But actually it does not look too bad and I am feeling pretty good about it.
