Chris :D

The tension between what is good enough and what is beyond that creates the space for character to become our work.

Waiting for "someday" will leave you on your deathbed wondering why you didn't just rearrange your priorities and enjoy the time you had, instead of waiting for a "better" time to come along...

I always have an interest in modern teardrops. But I prefer designs that don't use fiberglass. :designing:

OK Mike , how about inverting the rear of the TD so it forms a porch / canopy, with a rounded nose it would look sorta' Buck Rodgers/Flash Gordon type of thing ... no need for the "antiquated hatch /hurricane hinge /leaky galleys " Like the rear of my "modern TD , just built in a more conventional manner ...???? Plus gives a convenient place to hang your Chinese lanterns ... it sure would eliminate alot of problems...
