Happy new year all, after purchasing HMS Amethyst at the Christmas weekend all I wanted to do was start they build, but no as soon as I got home this was taken and wrapped ready for Christmas by orders of the wife. So the the build started on the 28th December and the panic began, as this was my first build but with guidance from my dad all has started well.
Reading through the instructions and starting step by step first with work on the hull ready for bulk heads to go in this was fine until installing the prop shafts sausage fingers, note to self install prop shafts first in future builds.
Amethyst has progressed a lot further since photos were taken, motor mounts installed modified as space is tight, servo mount installed. Decks are being prepped for fitting, which has caused issues with location of bulkheads but we shell overcome I like a challenge.
More pic's to follow hope you will enjoy my build log from start to finish it may not be technical and with correct terms but photos may help others.
