Ahoy. Finally stopping fer the night.

Well ... as most here know, when I change & improve a model, it turns into the next model name and thats kinda what happened to the dreadnaught. But as the Cutlass was the first dual mode bottom feeder I made I just used the name again as the Cutlass II.

They are all the same basic mod types, just improvements to function and style over time. I don't know what more I could do anymore though. I think I may have finally hit the limit of my ability to work the wood with the skills I have and the tools I have available. Ohh.. there may be a tweak now and then, but I don't see anything major changing for some time to come.

15 designs in 18 months, that's a lot .. I think I will just make these for a while before I turn the RSM world upside down again.

My thanks fer settin' me back on course. May you have calm seas to the finish. Me thinks I see land not far off in the distance :) And a fine marnin' ta ya all!

Happy Thursday crew, I can see the weekend up here in the crows nest, she's not far off now!

Big weekend planned for me, a triple birthday party Saturday and my little brothers birthday Sunday. I'm going to need all the rum and intestinal fortitude of all the pirates to make it through!

Well now, perhaps an example of your skill might persuade me, what are the chances of getting a picture of your entire RSM collection in one place .. you may have to think "wide angle shot" ? heh heh

I don't know if they've invented the lens wide enough for my collection! :p

Arr, me an ol' Cap't Morgan should reacquaint ourselves someday ... been a while.

Here be a bit o' pr0n, been a couple days since the last pic of the work in progress..

Front row are Cruiser II's (3.7v feeders) and a single Wench II (dual mode flat top), next row are all Destroyer II's (cep't for one Destroyer I ) , then the top row are all Cutlass II's. Most should make it to the end I think, they look good so far. About half of them are pre-orders of a sort.

Next, I put in pushbutton holes and channels, then the top gets cc holes or tank holes. When that is done it's time to edge them and think about final sanding... arrr

Got in on the CTM/Leopardwood Destroyer II!!! Very happy to be joining the crew! As this will be my first tank ever, first device in a long time, first non 510 atty device let's hear from you tank carto Destroyer users as to the best tank/carto combo for me to stock up on. Looking forward to getting some Tasty Vapor Geoff's Blend (what I use to vape) and really want to try pchela's flavors! :)

Try a Bella tank with Boge cartos. FYI pchela's Famous Five Layer is a winner.
It's show and tell time.
