Suffren plans

Does anyone on here have Suffren plans that I could copy?
I would like to build her over the summer and maybe battle her next year, if eveything goes OK.
Thanks

 

Thanks a lot Nick! Would you know how to convert that to 1:144 scale?

 

use a program to to clean them up as much as posible, i use GIMP its free, get back ground white,resize, or use paint to print and resize as you print, save paper and time put a scale on the first page you print to test, or just go to a print /copy place.

 

Thanks guys, your a big help.

 

How do you know how many props to add?

 

Original ship had three.

 

K. Because the one I bought has a third shaft but no prop and no hardware inside for a third motor. Just let it go and enjoy it?

 

Alrighty, so powering 2/3 is fine?

 

Power the center, Drag props on the outside.
Suffren is hands down the best cruiser in the hobby.

 

PMNick, for real ships they had to go to multiple props in order to move enough water (and apply enough power) to get the ship to speed without going to ginormous propellers. For our scale, that's not an issue. And since model boats steer by the propeller wash across the rudder, more wash=better turning. Suffren has 3 props, 2 rudders. By driving the center prop and dragging two, you will have more thrust to get to speed. The twin rudders act as "ducted thrust" deflecting all that thrust to the side, meaning you will turn very well.

 

Achievement unlocked, sir
