Hi all,
I didn't start a build thread on this model because I wasn't sure I'd ever finish it. But now that I'm getting close to the end I kind of wish I did. Oh well, live and learn.
So the story. I printed out Ekuth's Rodger Young over 2 years ago but never got around to building it. When I went home to visit this last summer I saw the stack of sheets and decided to bring it back with me.
Well after finishing the Ingram, I decided to go for it. So I'm getting into the rear part of the hull and have a goal of finishing it before we leave for vacation in February.
Still new at this posting thing, so I haven't figured out inline comments yet. So the pictures are as follows:
1. Overall view of progress to date
2. Doh! Big mistake, the rails are glued on too far apart, so a large part assembly (lower drive block) which is supposed to rest on the rails cannot do so.
3. Well, this was a blessing in disguise cuz it got me off my butt and actually motivated me to design something in Sketchup! It may be just a spacer block, but hey, gotta start somewhere.
4. Imported into Pepakura
5. Installed. Works as advertised, but as you can see, the lower assembly has a nasty twist in it relative to the mid deck platform. I'm not going to worry about it. From the side it's not noticeable and this view is blocked by the rear hull assembly.
