      Hey BD! Started a bit on it today. Our studio is crazy busy. Started the limber holes. Some are not marked but it's easy to locate them a file them out. I'm starting with all the hull cutting and filing. Then affixing the top section, hull parts and so on. Great kit as always from OTW.

        Interest was so low on any of my posts I stopped posting on this forum. I still support SC though. I finished this boat and I've started another. If you have an interest you can follow here: www.steveneill.wordpress.com

          Steve,


          I wouldn't take lack of posts as lack of interest. I'd check the hit count on the thread as a better indication of interest rather than the posts people put up. I'm bad for not posting up my builds here, too. I vow to change that in the future, however.

          The midget build looked awesome and I love the character of the boat. Great job, as always!

            Steve,

            Bob is right! Look at the hit counter. Do not mistake lack responses with lack of interest. I think you will find that a lot of guys on this site are trying to be polite by not polluting your excellent build threads. Please post your builds!? We all admire your work.
            Regards,

            Matt

                  Ok. Thanks Bob and Matt. I'm starting a Valiant next and another R Class. I'll try to post more often too Bob. My film Studio has been very busy but I continue to build for friends and hi end clients because I love a good build.
                  I'm testing the X-51 in the pool this Sunday and will get video and post.

                    Do all the brass fittings and parts come as part of the OTW kit?

                      My coffee got cold from wating Steve.
                      Actually you can see how much the count has gone up from this activity.
                      It's like they see the blood in the water and attack the post to gain some of your vast knowledge my friend. BD.

                            BTW I have a Skipjack Inbound for me. the 1/72 scale. BD will need cylinder parts. Can't find my single engine cylinder you built me so I'll need to build another.
