 |  Re: Ultimate Carden 260 Build by LJJ I also deviate from the plans on the truss structure.... Its much easier to do the "top" (which is really the bottom) of the trusses first. Both sides get the short perpendicular braces, then the bottom side up gets the diagonals. This firms it up so you can flip it over and do the bottom. Gotta have a table to overhang the motor box though, and still need the squares.... Almost looks like a good boat now! |

The "Long" shot.... On a side note.... I've often wished I were 1" tall so I could go climbing on all the stuff inside here..... That sounded wierd.... Must be getting late.  |

And that brings me to the last shot of the night... Goal accomplished, fuse is ready for some foam! (Or something else?) STAY TUNED! Note the sweet FG sticker posing on the "Radio" storage cabnet.... |

Are you going to hot wire thhe foam parts some more? They are twice as thick as they need to be. Looking good. How big is the camera that 1" dude is using ? FWB

Nice Pictures Levi. It almost looks like you are in a building. Keep up the good work!

Ken.... LOL.... Ya, there was a little material removal on that end.... But the other end has a built in washer for the back plate. I'll get some pics when I get them all finished. |
