Actually? Because it's kinda about the Mayflower landing and partying in America and Australia hasn't been discovered by the Europeans yet... Worked with Fusion and am working on printing SS parts for the Z. No work on Kitakami because I'm busy practicing violin.
Not really, I have a concert tomorrow a debate on Saturday so I haven’t had time... but it has been raining, there was a leak on the roof, and Kitakami got flooded... nothing bad happened though...
Ok now I am fixing one torp tube. We had a build session Sunday and met @Kotori87 and @Gascan. Oh god I haven't posted pics in a while. Ill do that! P.S. Merry Christmas eve.
Been a while since I updated. @greechronicles z boat was taken back by him. I did more on Kitakami... Sorry my camera on my IPad is bad I finished painting it in a semi historical early war camo although some ships kept it later on. The deck and super was painted too I made stands and tested all systems and they work. I haven't sent the props yet ughhhh and I have to figure out what is wrong with my pump. Otherwise she is ready. @Gascan I finished fixing the barrel and there is no more jam . Thanks to everyone in the WWCC for a great year and thanks to our fleet admiral for these great plaques. @Julian Barbera you did amazing this year!
No. I like to leave the water. Besides we have multiple torpedo boats and we can stagger attacks. Edit: hehe no.... I like reloading torps now cause I have deemed that it is better to be able to stay on the water. Reloading in port takes time, and time is everything. Relying on other torpedo ships to keep up pressure can have problems. I've done this paint scheme so many times on my other 1/700 Japanese warships.
What kind of voltage does it require? What kind of connectors are already installed? In general, many smaller boats in the WWCC are equipped with 7.2v 6-cell NiMH batteries. sub-C packs, 2/3A packs, or AA packs. This tends to work pretty well. If you need a little more oomph to get up to speed, get a 7-cell battery. That's what I did in my Z-boat when I was in the WWCC. If you have the space and location to safely mount a LiPo battery, and you have a charger that can handle it, go for a 7.4v 2-cell LiPo battery. These newer batteries are lighter and smaller, and can put out more power than NiMH batteries. This is what I plan to put in the Vac-U-Gearings I'm building. Either way, keep several spares, and change batteries every sortie. You wouldn't want to run out of power when you're pumping hard and running for shore...
Enough people are using the 6 cells that even if you forgot to charge pre battle you can borrow one from another battler, as long as your using the same connectors.
Hello everybody! Maidened the Kitakami today, and she is great. With a 36 knot speed she can outrun any battleship (Maybe not space battleship yamato but that doesn't count). Just some minor things to do. Thanks to @BigGunJeff for the props they are great. I painted them gold because why not I had gold paint lying around.
Wow Its been a loong time since I updated. I promise Kitakami pictures soon. For now... @greechronicles built a SS, installed torpedo tubes, ect @Z Boat thanks for tubes they shoot great I will eventually make a build thread for my sisters duca, Haguro (for my dad) and H 39 (@greechronicles)
