Lovely work Phil. I miss your old website too.

What did you stick your rubber moulding to the hull with? Did you remove hull paint to enable it to stick to bare GRP?

WOW! Very nice. What scale is that?

(I'm currently building a 1/16 Trent and I propose to stick on the rubber fendering after varnishing, using UHU or Evo-Stick)

Chris,
 yes I ruffed sanded the hull where the rubber was going then used super glue, but do it with the hull up side down if you get any run's with the glue it will go to the deck, and not all down the side, start at the bow and work to the stern.

phil tamar has the most awsome throttle response, he let me hold the controls for a couple of minutes whilst he was busy with the lifeboat display, i felt like a kid who had been left with the car keys :o  its an awsome model as are all the models from speedline and been built to a very high standard by Phil.

if my severn ends up being half as good as phils i will be very happy ok2
