01-May-2011 Decided to can the contra-prop concept. Too busy and flowery. A different type of propellor may work but for now I'm sticking with the original 3 prop config.





28-Mar-2011 Hexen has a hatch. Thin styrene/paper templates keep everything symmetrical. A second template is used to smooth out the mating surfaces on the main hull. The insides are shaved to get the wall thickness correct.







After the wall thickness is clean on the main hull, it's the hatch's turn to be lined with putty and pressed into the hull. This creates a virtually invisible seams. ;-)
