Hey Rob, where is this pond? In your back yard? How many people are coming(if you include my father and i)?
I'm guessing about 10 people are coming, probably about 8 ships, maybe more. That will result in some awesome carnage but we get that anytime Snipe and I are on the same pond. Check out my website to see the "iceburg battle"
What can I say, we bring out the best in each other. I might be bringing a friend along and I'm trying to talk darticus into coming too.
There's one more week until... Battle at Rob's Here's the list of people so far, all are welcome! Chris Kessler VDT 2.4 GHz Rob A. Alabama, #67 Fred "Powder monkey" and son, Boston 2.4 Will "Boomerboy17" Arizona #75 Jim Beahm USS NJ #66 Bill G RMS TARGET Ch 4 AM Howard W ROV Spectator "camera man, he just don't know it" Don Errico 2.4g USS Tennessee Don Fisher 2.4 Massachusetts, Atlanta #68 Dave Simmons Massachusetts
Think you are going to slaughter snipe? You have never battled him. I think we will be picking teams. Nobody (well almost nobody) wants a slaughter. When people run out of targets, they turn like cannibals and eat each other, Not Pretty []
Cannibals? i thought we were above this. Im not saying i would beat him, im saying all of those ships versus 1 VDT cant come out well is all. ill prolly sink(yes!, i cant wait)
In my Arizona, you are probably very safe unless you go looking for a sink. She is a deadly ship with no sides to shoot at. You would be in more danger on the shore. []
HAHA! I'l be coming up late to work on my ship and maybe even get it in the water if I can install the fake props and skin the NC by then. Are you guys gonna be hanging out after the battle? The earliest I'd be able to get there is 3-3:30.
We can spend the afternoon/evening working on ships if you want. Skin the ship, fake props are extra details we can get to later [8D]
Sweet. So all I need to skin is silkspan, balsa, and rubber cement? No dope? I've heard it mentioned in skinning.
No dope, this is a drug free hobby [] sorry, couldn't resist, dope makes the hull hard. People use it but I personally don't recommend it. I use lacquer to seal the silkspan to the balsa, inside and out. If you can't buy it there, let me know, I have to go shopping anyway. I also have one more new small can of scotchcote if you need that. Let me know. Then I dust the boat with cheap auto primer, grey and red
Any particular laquer? I have duplicolor grey auto primer lying around in a spray can. I'll lay claim to that small can of scothkote since I need to seal my boards and receiver anyway. Hmm. Where can I get silkspan?
Sorry to interrupt the conversation, but Rob, my step-mother said she would like to come Saturday, to see what im talking about, and to see the scenes of New York State.
Silkspan-hobbystore (model airplaners use it) lacquer I use deft semi gloss, have used gloss in the past (shiny) Mom, no problem, maybe a little boring but the trees are turning and it is pretty
