Good start, Paul. As with all naval projects, it starts with the keel.....

And thus, a scientist was born!Paul, good start. Also remember making a balsawood speedboat. Did all the sanding sealer coats, bought a model outboard motor and took it to the lake. started the outboard, set it to a wide circle, watched it zoom along until the 4th circle when it promptly sank. Could not understand why until Dad recovered some pieces.
Wonder if you guessed why? I used Elmer's white glue. Heck it SAID for wood.
Reminds me of working with Marines, give a group of them a rock and within a half hour they will have,Paul, continues to look good, excellent work. The motor looked just like an Evenrude outboard, to scale, matching the boat. It was electric and used, 2 or 3 D-cell batteries as I recall. The bats were laid along the keel and gave ballast to the very light boat. Lesson Learned: Experience is directly proportional to equipment ruined.
There are lots of things she doesn't know, like the bag of Oreos in my desk drawer,...Looking good, Paul. Does your missus know you swiped her waxed paper ?
