Just a small update on the boat. I was never happy with the oil cooler I cast using Blue Stuff and epoxy putty. It was too large (not sure how it grew in the mold, but it did) and it wasn't shaped very well. I went with a different approach using a silicone caulk mold and 2 part liquid resin. I'm much happier now  ;D ! I can finally start progressing on the under-deck piping and details. I also now have a reliable way to cast all the compressed air tanks that are missing from the model.


Honest, I didn't cough that up.
