Here are a few more Pics that Ty took, some of these came out just great. It looks like I'm sinking in a few of these, but I actually had very little water at the time. Bob almost ran me over, actually I was rolled over like 120 deg, the mast was in the water, but she rolled right back. Batteries had shiffed at bit to the side, so she had a little bit of a list at the time. The new adhesive gasket material seems to work great, she has a great deck seal as you can see by how low she rides under power.
Very Hard to shoot at. I should know since I did shoot at it this past nats. I feel most of my shots just smacked Superstructure.
She does ride a bit low, but still took 173 hits to put down. When sitting still she has 3/4 inch freeboard from the casemates back to the stern.
I have to say the more I look at that ship, the more I am starting to want one The force is not strong in this one, maybe he should stay with the frail, Carlo
sincere apologies oh Dark Father... Each dark sith needs a large and small weapon..... perhaps my training is not complete.... yet......
Your build log and seeing the pictures at the Nats made up my mind. I placed an order for my own ID last night. I am so looking forward to building and fighting the soon to be HMS Marlborough. Thanks for the information and will be using this as a guide for my own. Kim
I was at Rick's yesterday working on boats, and he told me you had purchased one. I think they are BC #1 seller so far this year. Last year it was the VDT. Just try to keep the weight under 23 pounds, and if she ends up at 24 you will be fine.
Thanks, will watch the weight. I tried building light on my wichita and ended up under the model weight, which was 10.32 pounds. I will be using ABS for the supper structure. I will be posing a blog of y build. Thanks again Kim
Well I had to replace the rudder servo, lost it the very last sortie at Nats, when I was almost rolled over when rammed. Everything was retested, and she is ready to go, for the next battle.
