Scott,

That looks really good. Putting the deck on to just replace the top panels looks better than I thought it would. I'm really happy you put that picture on up, I think I've just decided to build a second guillemot like your model.

Is you cockpit recess to scale, if so, then one of us is wrong The side of my cockpit is alot closer to the outside edge of the recess. (or rather it will be when I'm done) I'll double check mine.

I wonder how hard it would be to make a remote control model. you could put up a man with a padel and everything. (was that discussed before? hmm de-ja-vue)

Anyways, great stuff.
