Excellent, way to go Boomer... maybe get a camera for picts also. Glad to hear you are kicking butt on the build.
Rob, we having computer issues, so no pictures. But maybe one weekend in january, when i get my order in from BC, me and my dad can run up for a day for a build session, so i dont mess everything up.
cool, i cant wait rob. ill have to bring my epoxy tube to show you. also, i just sanded the deck and put a good angle on it. this is so it'll fit in the hull. Also, soon, ill be sealing it with polyurethane.
i saw, it was nice. Hey rob, i think ive figured out a way to post pictures, so give me a couple days and you can take in the glory of my beautiful Graf spee
Just bought a harware kit with a 2:1 output:input gearbox, triple sterns, and a large pump with a 1/2 unit restrictor from BC. I also have a waterproof, micro-sized servo for my rudder and NiHM batteries(soon to be delivered). Build will be progressing shortly.
Battlers Connection Kits(hardware, gun and pump) came in today, but i didnt see it, because its at my dad's house. I will update after this weekend with more information.
I hope so, im going to to Rob (Arena)'s in a couple weeks to mount rudder/sharts. It is coming along nicely.
Ok, Guns, Hardware Kit, Pump, NIHM Batteries and my book all came in, and look good(except the book, printed in 1956 or 8 and was cerimonaly kicked in half, really, but not on purpose). So, all is good and stuff will be added on the 24th. after that, the waterchanneling, batteries, and pump will all be added shortly there after, followed by guns.
Just checking in with you, Boomer. Were you able to get some work done today? I figured this might be a good chance to test out the new pic abilities of this new forum. Lookin' forward to the write-up!
It went really well actually. We had to move the outside plate connectors in, and clip the ends to get it in the right spot( aft of the turret, w/ the engine facing back) but it was really nice. And yes, that was it. Well, during the five hours i was at rob's we set up the gearbox and props and epoxied them in, which is a lot more work then i thought it would be, esp. since there is maybe 1/16" between prop and prop, and prop and hull. Also, today, i installed the prop struts, and the rudder post, both of which are epoxied in and setting at my father's house, also, the motor mount template was made and the mount will be made out of aluminium.. Pictures: whenever my stepmom will email them to me. And rob took some at his house, and will, hopefully, post them, and ill bug my step mom 'till i get them. Thanks guys.
I'll get mine up soon, maybe tomorrow. I have to work tonight. It was alot of work but I really like where the props ended up and I think the boat will work well with them there. I never realized what a tiny boat that was (width wise)
