Showing the jet drive construction since others are on the same step. Jet is bonded to the transom and hull bottom with the rear cutout finished first. The bottom cutout is popped out after allowing for a nice blend to the hull. Time to break out the bondo and Dremel.

Very nice. Does the inlet get a screen?

Not much to show. Did a hidden perimeter coaming in low density milling board that will support the strange hull flange. I’m noticing the hull and drives are feeling a bit heavy so we are instantly calling Weight Watchers with this one.
Also shown is the brass water intake that will feed the ESC’s. Motors barely get to 100f with full static power test so no need to cool them. They are made to swing a 13” prop so no issue with 1.1” in the water. |

Deck coaming cut out of a single piece of styrene. A pain to score and break but so much stronger as one unit. The cabin thingy actually mounts under the coaming and mates up to the forward turret deck. The PBR decks are tricky. 5 different elevations from bow to stern.

Ordered one of the nice 1/12 Vietnam figures today. They are spendy but come with extra clothing and gear to almost make 2. I also bought some weapons on Cults3d to get the printing started. Fun stuff while I am bored with the hull and deck work.

First test prints out with a light coat of primer. Zero sanding.

Figure parts showed up today. Will need to print some parts and buy a few more items to get at least 3 on deck. 1:12 stuff is way more $$ than the 1:6.

Oops-I thought that it was Charlie Sheen in post #39?
