Hi Zooma

It's Titebond 3 Ultimate Wood Glue (WATERPROOF).

I use it as a filler as well to get a solid link between the edges.

Thanks Harry,

A liquid filler sounds like a good idea - I may have to invest in a bottle of that!

Enjoy your weekend!

Bob.

Do you thicken it with anything? Base colour for Titebond UB3 is pale cream?

canabus · « **Reply #28 on:** October 03, 2021, 10:29:28 am »

Hi Zooma

No thicken, just run it in with a small tube and run the finger over it.

The sides installed and dry fitted my other bits to get a look at what the boat really will look like.

Next up is the chine rails and rudder.

What a difference that's made Harry

Hi All

Having a big crack on with the boat !!!

Used the same idea as doing the spray rails on the chine rails !!!

Dam that was easy !!!

Onto windows with using 2mm clear for the windscreen and forward windows.

One piece with a heat bend in the middle.

Also cut out the wooden surrounds and shaped them for the deck and roof curves.

Last I installed the rudder tube.

Well done Harry.
I've seen quite a lot of pictures and a few videos of other people's Wavemasters under way. It will be interesting to see what difference the rails make to how yours rides. The non rail Wavemaster that I have seen all appear to plough through the water a good bit.

Is that the name of the boat?

Hi Stuw and Will

At present I have a 35mm 3 blade prop in the boat which I was planning to use with a 540 80 turn brush motor on 2 S which is about 9000 rpm.

Also have a C3542-1250kv which will bolt straight in with a different uni joint and with the same battery, the same rpm.

Power would about 4 times more.

The changes are from other boats I have restored or made .

I added chine rails to my 1920 Gentleman's Runabout and turned that from a wet running boat into a dryer running boat.

Chine rails had not been invented in 1920 !!!

It still not great on the turns which I think spray rails would help ??

So a two years ago, I pick up a Queen which is nice boat, but it was vanished with a wire brush !!

Vanish runs, leaks from wet running, windows that leaked and roof with broken pieces.

So far re-vanishing, replacing the cabin windows and repairs.

I ran the boat, the CG was too far forward( drop a lot of lead into the stern) which stop it from running like a tug.

So back in the shed, spray rails and chine rails plus moved the battery to forward of the rudder.

Still had to add lead around the rudder.

The CG back to about the same.

Next trip to the water, the boat sits up on the plane, dry, turns super great and that is flat-out!!!

TOTALLY HAPPY !!!

NO, Will, just a Mad Tasmania stir !!!

Unless planking, the joint between the various deck parts was always a problem. Had to be able to be packed into the kit box but nowadays, due to "Scratch" building, a one piece deck is not a problem. Centre cut out wouldn't be waste. Bits of 1/16th ply on a Sea Hornet a nightmare.

Regards Ian

Hi Cliclip

I built a Sea Hornet from scratch from the original plans !!!

Super cool boat, but stuff a 28mm brushless 1900kv on 3S in it !!!
It's a rocket on water !!

Hi Phil
Another video of the Sea Hornet at low speed and later my 1920 Gentleman's Runabout( tail boat) with chine rails added.

Hi All

A busy few days, resin coated the inside of the boat and installed all the deck.

Sealed the under side of the deck with a coat of wood glue.

Hi All

First day of our second lockdown, so back to the shed for trimming the deck edges.

A bit of filling and sanding.

Finally a coat of fiberglass resin on the bottom and sides, then under the heat lamp to start the setting.

I think it's starting to look like a boat !!!!!

There is nothing like a lock-down to encourage more progress on your model boat projects

Stay safe Harry!

madwelshman · « **Reply #43 on:** October 16, 2021, 09:12:21 pm »

Well done Harry, more progress made.
She'll have a wet bottom soon enough.

In the mean time, stay safe.

Will

Hi chaps.

Good to see someone making progress! I haven't done anything for months now! But looking at the builds I'm not the only one, there was a number of Fairey builds going on at one time but hardly anything at the moment.

But now that the nights are drawing in and temperatures dropping thoughts are turning towards working on the builds again, if I can remember how to do it!

Hi All

Well out of lockdown, but still masks out of the house until Friday.

Trying a new primer/filler on the boat, but it's not great stuff as the old one.

Made the two side windows and planked the wheelhouse floor.

Also made the two side seats plus sanded down all the hull.

It's really looking the part.

What a difference Harry, looks really good and is going to be lovely model.

At this rate, you'll have it on the water this weekend

HI Zooma and Will

Not this weekend, off to a swap meet.

Still thinking on paint colours !!!

Maybe red oxide bottom with Spooky blue sides and cabin sides with white roofs .

First coat of satin vanish on the planking and seats after a slow removal because someone made things too close fitting !!!!
