Italy was one of the first countries to get nailed by COVID. Lots of people got temporarily laid off. My wife is now back at work part time. I found out this morning that COVID is now residing next door to me. So NR may have shut down for now, but they own lots of very expensive machines that...

Seal it the way it is with epoxy, then use Metal glaze, an automotive filler for blending bodywork. It the consistency of toothpaste and sands great on top of epoxy. It's also the best way to fill pinholes in epoxy which may not show up until you sand your first coat of primer. Been there. 🤔

Really need to cut with the advertising and read the rules of this forum. Nice boat, but please respect the forum.

RCU is scale only, so if you have built a scale, you may understand the penalty. Formula One vs NASCAR.

Slick

That's a Norco Eaglet. I think it's the last one on earth :cool:

That little extra bit of spruce around outside of the sponsons looks like a good idea.

Sweet. My first boat :-)

That's art. Very nice.

Is that a jet drive? What in the wide, wide world of sports is going on there?

Added a few more. Text in the album. Deck tip. Cowl fitting

Cowl fit is looking close. The profile of the deck tip. The double chin is interesting. No idea if that's good or bad. 1/2 " radius on top of a 1/4 r. I need to eat up 3/4" to keep the bottom angle scale. And ya, I know it looks like a feature......

The glue came up the sides of the cowl. Wasn't expecting that. I actually like the fact I got to have a bit extra glue on the outside to shape. I would do it this way again. That's low tack vinyl tape from Ace.

Getting ready to glue the cowl to the nose block. JB weld because its thick and I had it on hand. Somebody said nobody ends up adding weight to the rear of their boat.

How to hold your boat wrong side up with the cowl on it? Worked enough to sand the nose block.
