I got tired of the fragility of the cowling on the WHALE's engine propellers so I went and made some modifications...
1. I pre-drilled two holes in both engine cowlings and secured them to the hull with small screws. 2. I remove the bottom hull section from the top half, and put spray foam in the hollow sections. 3. I cut styrofoam blocks with a "Hot-Wire" and placed them in the square shaped hollow areas of the hull. 4. Then I took some new pics of it floating in the lake at the bottom of the hill where I live. ...The whole thing only took me about a half hour to complete. And I'm pretty staisfied with the results so far... I hope you enjoy the pics as much as I do... Last edited by IronMan76; 06-25-2010 at 10:50 PM.. |

Technicaly, they are Geese.
...But unfortunately I couldn't get the perfect angle, and keep them out of the background... ...Then the breeze picked up and I had to go in up to my knees to get it back. Always use a small rope, or fishing line when taking photos in the water...

I like the nice and simple mods.
Nice pics, the trees and sun reflecting on the water really adds some great color to the shots. |

Very cool. I Think I will do the same to mine. Does anyone have an upper part to a Cobra Moray? I am trying to do a custom R/C Moray but cannot find a trashed Moray to take apart for a decent price.
