I suggest a little modification to Swapnil's idea. From d pics it seems VC is using single or tripple strand copper wire. Instead of drawing out the wire completely, draw out about 5mm and poke it into the other end, this will make the join stronger and the copper wire inside will keep d rounded shape intact.
As for the boat, VC is exceptional in scratch building as usual!
Keep up the good work. VC, u r inspiring me to finish building my boats!!! ??

Me inspiring you??? Good joke Sir! Since I've learnt so much from you (still learning). I know your level of scratch building. It is a pity that you don't post any pictures here, had you done it, the levels of boat building / scratch building would have gone into hyper space. Modesty has a level - you exceed it many times over.

Sir, I tried doing exactly that (raw out about 5mm and poke it into the other end) in fact two of the belts that I plan to attach on the cabin cruiser Naughty Cal, are made that way. The ones attached to PT 109, were joined using Industrial CA and fixed immediately to the superstructure so that they don't lose shape.

Thanks Sir!

Oh! Really Awesome VC Sir. Really missed before and now realized it was a big mistake .
It is not a penny less than an Sculpture. Perfectly Detailed. I wish I could do a fraction of what you have done in this. Sir you are an Artist. Really great Boat, Full of life.

Please post the maiden video sir! That looks like having an attitude of a Queen even out of Water. So, what she would do in Water. She is a killing beauty.

All the very best Sir.

Cheers.

You've made this build worthwhile. I am grateful to you. Hope she can live up to your expectations in water.

She will sir, Sure. I can bet.

I wish I could touch her. Again Sir! I really appreciate your Passion for such crafts...

Thanks.
Cheers.

  Stop wasting your time on this thread and get on to finishing that beautiful B 25 Mitchell. My boat may be nice but yours will be a LEGEND, anywhere on this forum. So, concentrate.

God bless.

You wasted on My B25 Mitchell and I am wasting on yours.

Just a bad joke, eh? Alright sir! Will do what you want. But you can't stop me from having a look of your boat everyday though.

Sorry if I sounded rude, however, WW 2 birds are very close to my heart and NOTHING can beat them. All the best for the B 25. Have posted a link on your build thread, hope you find it interesting.

Thanks again, it sure feels nice to be appreciated.

No sir It wasn't rude at all. But sorry If I sounded the same. And about the link, I have posted in that thread.

Tested her in water. Two improvements to be incorporated. Some ballast required on the starboard side, slight list noticeable. Waterline has to be extended up by about 8 mm. Initial test run was satisfactory. I have to now get the motor shaft and prop shaft perfectly aligned and then epoxy the motor rack to the hull.

Must find a way of extending the antenna without spoiling the scale appearance. Any suggestions? What is the finest wire that I can use?

One major lesson that I've learnt from building these boats is that all ship modellers need to have access to some kind of a testing tank in their premises. This will allow us to trim the builds for better performance. It is a frustrating experience to find listing or incorrect draught on a model after travelling a considerable distance to a pool or a pond. The testing tank can be as simple as a pit dug in the ground covered with tarpaulin or plastic sheeting or else a tin tank that can hold 6 inches of water and sufficiently large for the boat to be contained in it.

Exactly! I tested my hovercraft in a (5ft. x 3ft. x 9in.) desert-cooler tank!

Add four stars on my Desktop... 

Sumeet, that is one of the greatest compliments that I have ever received. God bless you.

Sumeet that desktop does look cool; 5-star! I'm getting one too!
VC sir 

Cut it out Guys! For a boat that has not yet been maidened, you guys are paying her too much of 'bhau'! Hope she does not meet the same fate as the original, sliced in half by the Japanese Destroyer Amagiri on the 2nd. of August 1943.

Nothing but everything out of somebody's Hardwork and time, deserves our "Bhau!". Hardwork and Time worth a lot sir.

And Don't worry sir, As I said, she will sail like a queen.

Thanks.

after seeing the final product, i could say second to none, now i recall having seen it, in some pile, in ur house , along with some guns

 You've touched my heart Gusty...........Thanks.

You are welcome !!!

VC Sir..its nice..waiting for the cool video..

In a while.................some fine tuning still being carried out. I am not such an expert as you are  . Give me a few more days to maiden her.

Good morning VC Sir...no busy..but still because of the inspiration after seeing her in water..just like the real machine..take your time to finish her..so happy..

stunning !! 

Have you finished and maiden her VC sir?
