My second project the Belle River 1000 Footer in HO scale at 11.5 feet. Get the full story here. This guy is scratch built from foam and paneling, and finished off with a layer of fiberglass. The hull is designed to come abort in twp halves near the middle. Still in the construction stage where I'm getting read for painting. Launch date is scheduled for this spring of 2004. This construction technique I us is really fast, allowed me to complete her over one winter building season. All that will be left by spring will be the fine detail.
