Hi all, I am new to this and not sure if I am doing it correctly but I am sure someone will speak up and advise me otherwise.
After seeing the beautiful water taxis in Venice, after a trip there, I decided to build a RC model. I had difficulty in locating plans but finally managed and have now been 12 months into the build. I have attached a few shots from the start to where I am now. If anybody is interested make contact so I can answer questions etc. After much research I amanged to locate a stern leg that is scale size. I have used West epoxy system throughout and for the glue I mixed mahogany sanding dust to the epoxy to thicken and of course blends with the timber colour. It is fully coated with the same epoxy and sanded with 2000 grit wet and dry, then polished with brasso and finally car polish. I didn't want to introduce any oil based varnish etc. More shots to follow as I progress. Cheers and keep modelling. Ian -😉 New Zealand
