Greetings Jim,
That looks really nice and solid. The primer paint coat makes a big difference in how it looks. You should be able to get a better feel for it now. Do you think the transition come went on without any distortion as planned? Did the machining cost come out better then expected?

Hi all,
I've just uploaded a picture to the projects siteof the attached transition cone and the ballast tanks installed in their racks.
Not quite as cool as Frank's nose, but I like it!!
Best regards,
Jim K

Hey ya Frank,
That's a mean barnical on your bow. I vote for dark chrome with green edge lighting. ;)' What color did you decide for the sub? It reminds me of some stylin metal bow cones on some wooden boats I saw not too long ago.

I was thinking the can opener shape of the wave piercing bow on my Batic THUWG sub design might be a touch to aggressive until I saw your spike. I'm looking forward to checking it out in person.

Hi guys. I've been working on this for a couple days now. It's almost ready. Just needs a little polishing and then will get plated either in chrome or maybe brass. As I've said before, I expect to crash into stuff at some point, so I needed a front bumper. Get the point? Frank D.
