I think I might even install some flirt foam inside so it can be used in the bathtub and a pool. Have to see how durable it still feels.

Hi guys. I'm posting this here since it seems appropriate.

I'm looking for a couple of things to finish my WHALE.

2 vertical vanes
3 horizontal vanes
4 wheels
Sled

Mine was all rusty because it used to list horribly in the pool. be careful, Styrofoam or not the launch bay for the sled will fill up with water,

Looking for ramp liner and 1 bottom wheel (plus a lot of other expensive delicate things, but I will just pass on those as this will be a plaything).

I can pay some ducats or pay it forward in another way.

Anyone know a good way to rebuilt the pins on the bottom bay door?

Well, looking at mine, that'll probably be a bit tricky, but probably not impossible. being a thinner panel, there's not much to drill into for reinforcement of whatever you'd glue in place.

one fix comes to mind though: filing down the raised OG pin remnants, and replacing them altogether with some polystyrene or other paint-friendly plastic pins and CA glue. the key there will definitely be to 86 the original raised pin bits though; an end to end plastic glue up won't have a lot of integrity, but having some surface to glue to should help that. probably have to do some trial and error sanding until you get a good fit.

Edit: Thinking about it, that liner would also be a good styrene candidate, if you're not concerned with matching the exact look of the original. If you do decide to try that out, .040 thickness is good and heavy, and should be pretty cheap to find on ebay, probably in black, no less (I'm currently in love with the stuff!).
