Hi Shaunsheep (love that name) there are different grades of white metal I'm using the 6 star and don't have any experience with the others but it taps really well giving a very solid connection. It’s very easy to work with.Flimzy having never worked with white metal how robust is it, I noticed youve used screws of parts of the
chair set up, are they tapped or just epoxied ? thanks.
Sitting pretty is RIGHT! Add mast, barrels, pulpit, odds and ends, r/c battery she'll be sitting down a bit more in the water, but just a majestic stance for such a large boat. That quick build water tank worked very well! How did you ever get it in the water? What would you guess the weight is of the boat to this point?She is sitting perfectly in the water. I’ve made square coach bolts this timeView attachment 1939545View attachment 1939546View attachment 1939547
You have to add a lot off weight to make her sit much lower, she a a very buoyant design. I stuck 3 slate roof tiles on her to see what would happen and she only went down about 3mm. I haven’t got any scales but I’ll get some and let you know. I can only just lift my self ,Sitting pretty is RIGHT!

Both of you can surprise us when it's time. I knew you were being too quiet Bloop lol Grabbing the popcorn now, I can hear the John Williams music in my head. LoLJust so it’s out there Bloop has been sculpting a new crew for the project. I should let him show you the results when he’s ready.

The Hull design Is truly something. So many twists and turns under the waterline, true Boatsmith artistry.
