    Still beavering away on the 1/7th scale Skippercraft Archer 650 Offshore Cuddy cab.

    After listening to all the rattles and other vibrations on the onboard video from last week it was time to epoxy the dashboard in place (rather than use the steering wheel to hold it together).

    Also 3D printed a new rear tray to hold the steering servo & redid the steering arm geometry

    After hunting high & low to find a 1/7th scale captain (no one makes 10″ Action models, only 7″ or 12″ and not much in between) I finally opted to 3D print one, a lot more work but at least I can get the scale exact.

    This was the file I used, scaled up to 1.465 which came out the size I needed.

    Also 3D printed a Helm chair for the Captain

    and with the Captain seated

    Now all the hard work is done I can start tidying up and painting the 3D prints ready for his first outing.
