I'm gonna need a bigger boat,ORCA

Very cool, DCN! Yeah, Joe fits in nicely. Looks like he could be Quint’s younger, clean-shaven brother.

We had them in England made by palatoy and called action men instead of GI JO.

I remember seeing them in Harrods back in the early 70's.
Some of them where dressed as the royal guard.

IIRC Big Jim was called Mark Strong.

Hasbro made G.I. Joe here in the States from '64 to '69. Because of the Vietnam war they changed Joe to the Adventure Team from '70 to '76.

G.I. Joe and Major Matt Mason did it for me back in the 60's. Then Star Wars came out and actions figures went crazy.

Slightly off-topic, but what are you printing your plans on? I gots-ta get me one of those printer/plotters!

 

[flimzy]

I’ve reached that half way point ,where a good deal of the ground work is done but when you look at what’s left to make my knee go weak.
Pulleys, tuna bell crane arm, port hole and flag pole.

HP 120, or I seek 1 in at work

 

[flimzy]

I feel like this is where am at.

 

[greenmachines]

Am on a road trip and haven't looked at updates til now. Ever more amazed. Your progress is always leaps ahead of anything I expect so only you would think this is slow. I think this is the difference between knowing what to do and learning what to do. It would take me months just to understand how to rib the hull. The super detailed portions are just mind blowing. It's no wonder our action figure always looks stunned. It's appropriate for a first time boat owner to have that expression.

 

[flimzy]

Today am exhausted!,,,

And yes I spent ages balancing the rain cover so it flips up on the slightest breeze. So fingers crossed the smoke will open it.

 

[joberg]

Wow...that exhaust seems so real from where I stand; smoke effects will be the bomb

 

[flimzy]

That’s it that was a lot of work for a Sunday. I went with the bracket at the top, it’s not in the film till later on but the more detail the better.

 

[flimzy]

Only just realised I’ve screwed the exhaust in the wrong place, oh well that’s tomorrow nights job,

Does the site keep going down or is it me

 

[greenmachines]

Does the site keep going down or is it me

it is the site

 

[division 6]

Yeah it's the site.
I have trouble in the mornings and around noon.

 

[Bloop]

I've had problems for the past several days. I sent a couple messages to the tech support link for the site but haven't heard back. Frustrating.

 

[ID10T]

I expect this crowd will appreciate this...

Excellent work as always, Flimsy!
