I would love to have just 10% of his ability and 5% of his patience.

Ran into my old buddy today and he has done these with electric engines in them.

Ship models are always interesting. A couple of good sites to drool over are

(If you thought you were having trouble with rigging, check out Neb Kehoe's and Harry Belflower's pictures.)

Some of John Fox's incredibly tiny ships in bottles:

The model is scratch built with bass wood strips and then covered with fiberglass. Weighs Approx 700 lbs, 30 ft length, 52 in beam, powered by 15 hp outboard, and carries 2 souls. Top speed is about 15 mph. And has a music system.

Here's what I think he should do... install propane tanks and injection-ignition system in those guns. Then when the PWC crowd comes roaring by, swing those turrets around and scare the s**t out of them.
