The boat is pretty much all Bamboo and marine ply with the outriggers kept in place with a binding of string nylon wound around giving it strength and flexibility. They are a pretty inexpensive boat to build but as with all boats a lot of upkeep is needed. These shots were all taken…scubahead in # blurtography • 6 yr. ago • 1 min readTanks For The MemoriesHi Blurt Worlders Today I bring you the humble Scuba Cylinder.

It's an amazing little flying machine. It's not a helicopter it's a gyrocopter. It still requires forward motion to be able to fly the same as a plane does. In fact the rotors are not powered during flight it's the forward thrust…scubahead in # blurtcomics • 6 yr. ago • 2 min readRogue Trooper From 2000ADHi Blurtworld I still have many comics in storage all bagged and boxed up.
