Speaking of Ensign Pulver, thats another film (from the 60s) that I haven't seen.
A similar story...maybe some sort of sequel effort?

yeah it's a sequel,I don't remember much about it so I can't comment too much on it,I remember being disappointed by it but that doesn't mean it was a bad film just that Mr Roberts was very good.

Dave, no building for the past month or so. A couple of writing/consulting gigs and building toys - I mean demonstration apparatus - for a teacher workshop in November is eating up the time. Flight Academy doesn't officially open until spring so I have time to complete the displays ...

That looks real good Dave. Nice to see a video instead of photo's, gives a better prospective of the model.

Hi Dave,
How about the late war boat with "roll off" racks and a 40mm on the stern? I converted the old Revell PT 109 to make this one.

In my video you can see the 40mm that I created for the next PT Boat.
I forgot to remove it from the Deck before I started filming. After attempting to nail down a Camo paint scheme, I got very frustrated and gave up on the idea. The only real source of reference is scale model versions of PT Boats. And I don't want to just copy someone elses mistakes. (I'd like to make my own! lol) When trying to nail down an actual paint scheme, I ran into a number of difficulties... -first, original photos are all B/W -next, original Navy painting diagrams don't seem to match Navy text directives on paint colours. -Artist's colour profile artworks didn't seem to match either. -and finding multiple angles/sides of a paint scheme is virtually impossible in photos. To be very honest...I'm not sure whether I want to do another PT Boat right now ...I get so lazy about working on the same projects. And I sometimes find it difficult to go back and work on something like this. And of course, there are a number of new parts to create, like the roll-off Torpedo Carriers (and Torpedoes!) I'm just not motivated yet. Unless I can see an entire paint scheme (more than one angle of diagram and/or photo) and a definite set of colours... if you really want another model, see if you can supply me with this info.
