Ok time for a quick update on what's happened on this project- as apparently you've all stalled on yours, if what I've read is correct.
PS Lady Catherine now resides (almost complete) on the top of my bookshelf, PS Reginald, the smaller rubber band powered paddler model I made is close by.
A01- the newspaper hull I built...which I'm sure has a thread somewhere else got some trial runs on the water...she wasn't water proofed, which means in the end she was about as good as the Titanic (actually she was better, she didn't sink, but didn't last past her maiden voyage either).
I ran her off the deck of our new jetty where one day Grebe will be tied.
IF!!!!
The ducks stop pooing on the thing! I don't want to have to clean the feces off my boat!
So here are some photos for you all to have a look at.
...Oh the paper boat actually went really well, I know that the shape was a bit of a worry, but she cut through the water well (she was tied to a dogs lead) and surprsingly no water broke through into the hull, she remained completely intact, with only a balsa wood frame, newspaper, adhesive stickers and PVA glue.
Also note the water quality wasn't good. It was just after the lake filled up, I went to bed and the lake was half empty, I woke up and it was full with a little water fall even adding more water to it.
