Too Slow,

Since there was no new images or information this week, I went ahead and finished up the plans with the information I have.

Just a few markups to fix from here.

Got some time in on this project this weekend.

Posted some pics here.

Sea Trials Successful. After three weeks of construction this once piece of plywood functions well as a 1/72nd scale LST.
The tank is a modified Micro X Tech R/C model

Nice!!

3 weeks of construction?? It takes me that long just to get into my workshop! :slight_smile:
