A few more pictures.
First the Schottel drive is mounted on plasticard base, together with the motor, servo, ESC. This was made up while waiting fot h hull to arrive.
The unit was then mounted into the hull, bedded with P38, and held with a couple of nuts and bolts.
The deck is made from ply with the centre hatch cut out. The hatch is bolted down with four screws with the nuts glued on the underside.
On top of this deck is glued the plasticard deck which covers the whole of the topside. The front two inches are glued to the fixed deck and not removeable. The cabin is made from 2mm plasticard as well, and fitted inside the L angle plastistuct. At the moment I'm not sure whether to make this removeable or fixed, most like removeable.
The design is based on a card model of the London Canal museums Bantam, although i think it will be painted in BWB blue colour scheme
Next step is a bit of filling and rubbing down and painting.
