why would you think there is no interest? I like it, and follow alone your build. Please continue posting as your build progresses. You are doing a great job!

I just found it, and was about to mark it as one to follow along with.

did some work on the decks ,not sure I like them might have to do them again, got to work on the drive system that is proving to be a bit of a challenge.

Seriously? Obviously, you have done some research on how to make a hull. Fiberglass, I assume...but this is not my area of expertise...

I used to build large scale helicopters , but at about $15000 each they were a bit expensive for an old age pensioner.

[pugwash]

I'm on board for the journey.

Though I've never been impressed with R/C boat/ship models, which are always so unconvincing on a pond.
I do, however, admire the result of any well detailed/crafted ship model, whatever the kind.

Tony, I have been building and operating RC ships and aircraft for many years. I can honestly say I have never lost a ship to a crash or sinking, however crashing aircraft is just part of that hobby and getting worse with age. I will continue to build RC ships until they put my ashes in one and send me to sea.

Never completely lost a heli to a crash had quite a few minor mishaps ,but 2m plus helis are getting very expensive to build these days, and my surplus cash
seems to be getting less, so I thought I might give ships a try, so far I am enjoying the process .
