Hi All,
Well despite my best intentions life and work have managed to claim my committed time to this build.
Still aiming for the deadline will update as things allow me too.
Regards,
Kim

Ok, so here we are less than a week to go and still not much progress to report on Juno... Perhaps i should explain a little more...

Since last posting on this thread a very excitting and cutting edge opertunity presented itself to me this week and my efforts have been focused on that. I'm sorry if this is a little lacking in detail but the detail will be out next weekend.

It's not a Paddler and it's very Now and i'm excitted!

As soon as i can details will be announced on Paddle ducks first! .... having built it up like that i'm now sure you will be disapointed :)

All the best,
Kim

Hi All,

Further to my last post & as promised,  here is the beginings of the new product.
The Plug for a new hull. It has been cut using CNC technology and will be on dispaly at the Mobile Marine Christmas Cracker this weekend.

The future of this excitting development will lbe a full kit hopefully available at the North east show 2012.

Regards,
Kim

OK. You've got our attention :o Which ship is it? At first I thought of the Pharos but the bow shape is wrong for that.

It looks like an "X" bow OSV to me....

Yup - I'd go for one of those as well Eddy. I can see one out of the window from our appartment.

I was wondering when a model kit would turn up..

Hi All,
Well done Eddy …. Good to know there is a resemblance.

Whether or not we can advertise it as such is in the hands of a Lawyer friend of mine. This complication might also explain Graupner’s delay in coming to market.

I must also give credit to Ian Mackintosh who drew & has built one from scratch …. If you are interested the build is over on Mayhem.

Regards,
Kim

After a very busy period...

The dust settles again ...
 Winter time and a short time to get development work underway again...... Except a new machine arrives this week .... a bigger and more powerful Laser cutting machine ... you probably think faster turn around etc .. No,no a reeducated / re learn time lies ahead....

That said i should be able to return to this build just after Christmas... January is usually pretty slow so i have time to catch up with myself and hopefully move things forward again....

Back soon
Regards,
Kim
