I think so too. Are you going to do a build log of the engine?

That boat talks with different tone. If you can do that level of work you can do the engine. The materials just have different quirks.

Post by: Brass_Machine on March 01, 2013, 09:11:34 AM: I wouldn't say you have limited skills. In fact I would say quite the opposite.

I for one would like to see a build log on the engine!

If I may ask who did you buy the forms from as I am looking to build a model torpedo launch about 36 inches long
