So I've finally gotten around to starting this build...

I actually finished this some time ago, but I couldn't wait any longer to post. Sorry K'Tesh.

And, for anyone interested in the original Mako, I've attached the instructions in pdf format.

This arrived recently.

The right half of the Ring Fin mold. I will use the mold to fiberglass the cardboard ring fin.
