Do I need to show you a Boat Don?

Don -

A Reading from the Book of Armaments, Chapter 4, Verses 16 to 20:

Then did he raise on high the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch, saying, "Bless this, O Lord, that with it thou mayst blow thine enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy." And the people did rejoice and did feast upon the lambs and toads and tree-sloths and fruit-bats and orangutans and breakfast cereals ... Now did the Lord say, "First thou pullest the Holy Pin. Then thou must count to three. Three shall be the number of the counting and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither shalt thou count two, excepting that thou then proceedeth to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the number of the counting, be reached, then lobbest thou the Holy Hand Grenade in the direction of thine foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

King Arthur: Right. One... two... five.
Galahad: Three, sir.
King Arthur: Three.

I will try to post pictures as soon as possible to get this thread back on track.

Hello Everyone,
Not much progress this weekend. Life is definitely getting in the way right now. I really just wanted to post this picture to show that I took AirDave's advice and used my Tombo Marker to edge the tail and I think it looks pretty good. Much cleaner than my earlier edge attempts.

Hello Everyone,

This weeks post is titled "Baby Steps". Still on the tail sections and really just got the Vertical Stabilizer mounted. No profound words this week other than it still looks good to me. Hope to pick up the pace over the next few weeks.
Thanks for checking in.

Looks good to me, too.

wow, I will have to get you do a future test build for me!

Very precise and accurate!

Did you opened the airvents in the middle of the fuselage?

[talls6]

Thanks everyone for the comments. It keeps the motivation and spirits up.
Gerardo - I did not open the vents up. I planned on it, but cut the first one wrong and couldn't get it to look right so I sealed it back up by gluing it back down from the back side. Very rookie mistake.

Excellent job thus far. Keep this up snd you'll soon have a great model on your hands.

Hello Again everyone,
I was able to get a few hours on the bench yesterday. I finished the horizontal Stabilizers, got the Wing internal framing completed, and completed the Razorback framing. Hopefully this weekend I can get the landing gear boxes mounted and wings mounted. I think I am getting better at this. Dave's design is making it easy. Thanks for checking in and as always comments and critiques are welcome.
