Life (read: work, personal/family issues, basement floods, etc.) meant that she never got finished, and I never got to Wonderfest this year. However, I am still planning on getting back to her after my latest personal Scylla and Ch...

Wellll, unfortunately because of some work commitments, it's looking like I won't be going to WF this year. However, I should be able to do a hand-off to friends heading through on the way, so I got that going for me. So, I leave you two choices: 1. Get it done ASAP, and get it to me so I can get it...

The bottom "wing" is actually for hydroplane landings. At rest, she sits on those wingtip "floats".

The point of the build is to do what inspires you with the design when you receive it. It's not a build to a consensus of a design, (unless that design IS your inspiration) it's a build from something you see that others might not have. At the end, the models design is evolved by each person's crea...

So, first an apology for not being in contact sooner. The one thing I forgot about when I took this on, back on the 13th, was that my semester was about to start. :( This has been especially rough this semester, where I'm teaching FOUR classes rather than my usual two, and up to my neck in committee...
