Hi all
just a quick update on my build of the Daring;
Ive now installed all the electrics for the drive system with 2 ACTion Condor speed controllers and a mixer by ACTion courtesy of FLJ :)
All the electrics have been ran and tested so Ive sealed the decks down;
I'm building the superstructure out of birch 1/32 thick ply; now...Ive tried my hand at lithoplate just a small area admittedly. Yes, its good to work with, however, I am not truly happy working with it. I felt happier working with the plywood and felt I could manage just a good a finish on the ply with a quick coat of sanding sealer and then rubbing down. Its like everything in life, its what you are used to and, at the end of the day, I felt happier working with the ply.
Couple of pics just to show you, the main bridge superstructure is in, the boiler casing vents with the gun platform on top and now I'm in the process of building the aft search light platform.

for eagle eyes, you will notice I dropped a clanger with the deck boiler casing, its about an inch short, but a quick fix later will correct that.
