Hi Tom

I have yet to start on mine, but, You could contact Jerry Siegel as he just finished his a few weeks ago, and it's a beauty. I believe there are 3 or 4 in progress at this time, so, just wait and they will pop up and help you out in due course. If you start on it in the next month or so, you'll have some company. I am starting a Walrus this weekend, just trying to get something in the water before it gets too cold out here. As soon as the Walrus is off the forms, I'm putting the G.A. forms up and starting on it. I picked the G.A. because It is touted as being easy to build, quick and stable. I'm a newbie and want something tame to start with, Building that is. Hope to hear you're starting one soon as well.
