[Porty]

Welcome to the topic for my unfinished entry to the "To Sail the Technic Sea" contest. Most of the mechanics is done, but still more to go on the cosmetics.

above the comment window, there are several insertion icons (emoticons, links, pictures, etc). the icon at the far right is the "media" icon; that's the one for inserting video clips. click it and a window pops up; add you video's url address in the "media url" space, then click the "insert media" button. when you preview your post, it may take a second or two for the video to appear in your previewed post.

I like it!

Thanks,I have not gotten it completely secure yet. I'm still trying to figure out a way to tie it to the bottom without restricting movement. EDIT: Oh, and by the way, you stole my color scheme.

no you stole mine, I was first!

[lockdownTF]

can go in water or is it too heavy?

[Porty]

I already had my color scheme two days after the contest was posted!

Well, I think it would sink but I'm not sure. there are "holes" at the bottom so, yeah, with my PF's in there, it isn't going in I'd say.

we must have more or less the same sets in our collection I guess

Will yours float?

[Thelonious monk]

nope, I tried inflating pneumatic tubes on the underside but it doesn't create enough lift. I'm thinking pneumatic air tanks may be more successful but I don't have any.

Someone mentioned inflating a balloon in the body, I may try that.

would be cool if it could float, it's supposed to be a boat after all!

You might just be in the same boat as me.

Okay, I got some time to work on it. I think I've finished the seat, and I am working on keeping everything "tight 'n' strong". Sorry for the

not-so-good pictures, photography is just not my thing. Here they are:

Hope you like it.

My mom won't let me!

Aww why?

As a run around solution, you could take short video clips and upload them directly to Brickshelf.com. Then you could link us here on the forum to the Brickshelf gallery containing the uploaded videos.

Thats what I did, can't you see it at the bottom of my entry? I think Thelonious monk has already watched and commented on it. You have

not said anything about my entry. When are you posting yours?
