Hey Garth and Frank!
Your eyelids are getting heavier, you are going into a deep hypnotic state as you look at the pictures of the PT Boat adapter scheme! Now wake up when I snap my fingers and say PT Boats Forever! Jerry

Can you spot the hidden PT Boat in this moving picture?

It is a good thing I do not suffer from epileptic Fits, cause that second shot would set them off. It's bad enough that the first photo has wrecked a perfectly beautiful Elco Boat........Help...........

To quote Carmen Miranda .........
Now, cut that out.
Gimme a couple more days and I'll be done ..........
It's about 90-95% complete ............
I'm amazing myself here, ............. I'm finding it easy to do.
But, those darn stripes ..................... whoever dreamt that scheme up guys? Was a Sadist!
It's looking good though ............. I am amazed at how well the torpedo tubes came out ....
As soon as I'm done........... I'll email it to Dick and ask him to post it here. But, you guys better your visors.

Hiya Garth-
Just for spite, have Dick make up a giant wall sized poster of your newest RON-10 razzle dazzle zebra striped PT and send it to Frank A. from both of us!
I love Beech Nut fruit stripe gum, Kingston Trio striped shirts (and their music as well) , zebras, RON 10 boats, pinstripes on hot rods, just for starters!
Thanks Garth, from all those who JUST LOVE THOSE STRIPES!!

I am having trouble with my E-Mail at the moment, but the drawing looks pretty darn good. I think the guys who love those crazy Zebra stripes, like Frank R, will just go ga ga when they see it.

Funny Jerry, I love feeling my eyeballs crawl. Great image, thanks!
I once tried guessing measurements from a striped PT image but had to give up even though I would have been able to without the stripes. Edges just bled into each other. It actually made me giggle a bit.

Garth,
Think your zebra PT looks great. Hope you don't mind but I downloaded it and used it for the background on my desktop. Just a thought, but it would make one eye catching illustration for a cover on your next book.

Thanks Gary.
No, I don't mind. In fact, I have it as a background myself ...
As for using it in a book, no ......... and for a lot of reasons.
First, it's not accurate and not only that, when Dick gave me the hulls and weapons I'd need to do these 'paintings' ... I gave him my word that I would not use them to sell or for profit.
I just use them as confidence builders ...
AND, it would not go with my next book as it's on the Italian MAS boats and the next one after that will PROBABLY be on the USCG's 83 footers in WW2.
