I'm gonna need a bigger boat,ORCA

[flimzy]

Did get much done today had to drive to the water cutters ( London water jet) to pick up the parks I couldn’t do. The shear stupidity of this project is becoming more and more clear. Might get it glued together later on tonight, then I’ll really know.

Are you sure you're not going to just build it in 1-1 scale.

7ft of Orca! This is going to be EPIC!

Ya know, if you are having space trouble, and you're building another huge Orca, you should raffle off your NECA one.

That way you have space and everyone can have a chance to own the legend.

Who said you could build it inside

Started to glue the frame together. Had to make my own propeller shaft again because I could find any that long.

Loved the laminated keel & it’s sandwich approach to center the shaft tube . Built many single engine boats. Always a pain centering the shaft dead center and getting proper engine mounting alignment.

Oh My Goodness Flimzy! That last pic truly shows how extensive this build is going to be. I am Loving how you designed the frame work. V1 and V2 truly helped with this build. JAW(S) dropping!

 

[flimzy]

I have another week off work so I’m going to try and finish the framing. Down to jig saw now everything is too big for my laser

It’s hard to explain to people who come over why I have a wall/room of jaws insanity.

The Jaws stuff is not insanity. Insanity is the posters of the roller derby action...fun to watch, but really insane.

Nothing's wrong, in my book, about the above pic flimzy

I used to play now that was insane.

OK! ..................THAT'S HUGE!!!!!!!!!! You're so very welcome for the Quint Clothes and body. You've been so good to me with my boat, I had to play it forward. That Quint coat is vintage 1968. It's held up very well. The name tag I sent too should fit perfect. The scale of this boat, length, mast height, size of the details, not to mention the size of Bruce!,.........the whole thing is staggering! It will be more than a joy to watch your craftsmanship through the progression of this build.

I,ve had a sheet of 3mm ply ageing for over a year for those special areas.
