| | 24 Aug 2009 02:49 PM | | The hull is already cut out, rudder post installed, shaft entry holes already cut out. No the projects are up and running again. I am attacking them by getting all the resining completed, waterchannels, shafts, rudders, subdecks and decks. and panelling. I will be sheeting them very soon. This includes VDT, Konig, Tennessee, Graf Spee and Pow. The hulls are already cut out. | | | |

| | 24 Aug 2009 06:20 PM | | You are a machine. I still havent gotten the second half of the Graf Spee marked out yet. To be fair the heat wave sort of killed it for a bit. I will probabaly mark it out and hopefull start cutting this week. | | | Just when you think you know the answers, I change the questions. | |

| | 01 Feb 2010 05:22 PM | | The USS Tennessee arrived into it's new home port of Halifax unscathed. It got shipped from corner in a box for a 40" flatscreen tv. They had to open the box at St. John's airport to just see as it could not go through the screener for oversize luggage. It came in and not a scratch. Of course there was only about a dozen on the flight this morning. | | | Just when you think you know the answers, I change the questions. | |
