I would love to see the prop your son made, it sounds intriguing!
The pump outlet is 1/8" diameter for the IRCWCC, and 3/32" for the MWCI. Don't go too nuts with the pump size, things are about to get tight inside the hull! | | | Battling: SMS Scharnhorst, SMS Baden

I started out with hand tools and a dremel, then broke down and bought a scroll saw for 40 bucks off CL. | | | |

@Joker - Your Baden looks sweet! My Baden (aka Badenlicious) is running around the pool and the guns are 1/2 mounted. I've been held up by Brian K's vacation; I carved plugs for the forthcoming Grey Wolf Sqdn Shipyard (that's a mouthful)Baden casemates and I'm waiting on Brian to get back and start casting! But I have the GWSS rudders on her and she turns rediculously well. Christopher K had his Bayern in my pool with Badenlicious and they were both zipping hither and yon.
The upcoming lesson will be a quickie on the remaining hard areas that need to be filled in, and on some other minor stuff.
I know of one person who's contacted me who is looking to build Edgar Q in 1/96... sweet! | | | Battling: SMS Scharnhorst, SMS Baden
