Welp figured i throw some pictures on here since i finally have something that looks like a boat. So here is some my my progress. Cut me some slack though, its my first build i have NO modeling skills. Its deffinately not finished though it is operational with one combat sortie under its belt. brass pump outlet can be seen to the right bow gun depression servo.. works quite well depressed and should be very easy for some belows.. Undepressed it shoots out about 6 foot, and pushing the barrels up gives it a verry flat striaght trajectory for quite some distance (wish i had it installed for my bro to try out when we had our 1on1). micro firing servo and smav-3 valves for bow and stern gun servo which trips a micro switch for my pump, i just think its more reliable than a float or an automatic switch.. well and im not smart enough to make one.(haha) This last pic is just a little bit of the damage Hindenberg sustained from a battle a few weeks ago from Spee's tripples. Comments and thoughts please.. More super work and paint to follow.
Very cool, im making one too. no where near done, but on the way. I think it looks pretty good, what did you use for batteries/ waterchanneling?
Water channeling was made with plywood. I think i may redo it like i did on my California though since it has a lower profile. I used (2) 1/4" wood strips the width of the pump centered down the length of the hull. I then filled the sides with resin untill it was flush with the 1/4" strips and let dry. For batteries im running (2) 7.2v batteries in parrellel.
Very cool, thanks. I bought some self-leveling concrete crack sealer, and im gonna use that for the water channeling. Im also using Nihms when i get them( also 7.2 volt i think)
