It'll be at one of 2 farms around the St Eval airfield, inna pond, until I can stop it flipping over!

Is this one of the boats like out of Lord of the rings that Gollum is in at the start of Return of the King?

Thats the bunny

Thanks to all for your interest

Don't forget to invite us to the launching ceremony then. In fact we could all go back to Ash's place for tea and biscuits after. There's nothing quite like inviting yourself is there?

Well, you being the Poshcrafter™ Martin, I'm sure you can provide the bottle of Shipwrecked 1907 Heidsieck champers for the launch ceremony?

[Fletching]

Seriously though Phil, I'm well impressed with your progress so far.

Well we know where to get the flutes to go with that... http://www.silvermans.co.uk/Products/tabid/54/Department/Military/Category/RATIONS+++COOKWARE/id/1/Text/40/poshcrafting.aspx

I do think the launch should be on video and uploaded.... (please)

I was gonna ask Ashley if he'd film it, and maybe parts of the construction too, as I'm building it close by to he.

One of the reasons I'm building this thread with the craft, is for folks out there like me that want to embark on such projects with little or no experience (and £££). A friendly reference from a beginners point of view, including mistakes, problems and of course advice from others more in the know...You know who you are

So a comedic video of multiple flippings would be an awesome finish..... however If you come to the launch, you have to give it a go and if necessary get verry wet!
