I have a new project the Smit Nederland Billings kit # 528 which I'm sure there's a few of them around . I did not start the build a friend started the model & hasn't the time to carry on with it so I volunteered to finish her up .He's doing me a favor due to the world problems that I'm not going to get into . Most of the model has been completed with running gear , rudder servo & electronics . But I like to do all the final details so I'm happy to continue on with the model & hope to have the Smit Nederland in the water with my friend before summer ends so hope all is well & stay safe better time's ahead .😀😀.

Just a photo of running gear not complicated and that's the way I like it . If any problems it's easy to find the problem I hope .

Took me awhile to get motivated to do hand rails but did my best try .With a few singed fingers & crazy glue fingers too.

Today was put the tires on hull day while I wait for a email from Canadian Tire for a Black & Decker Bump feed spool to chop the yellow Dandelion heads . Tire mounting took about 2 hours & my bump feed spool is in good think I had something to do for 2 hours . After Dandelion massacre will finish tires.

That is a fiddly job I'm not looking forward to on my Southampton/Weyforce tug Garth😉
Enjoy your 'Great Hamilton Strimmer Massacre' 😁
