Good evening all of my Friends and colleagues..when i got two of boat kits, from VC Sir, i was too happy to assemble it..it took me in to my adulthood, the time of kit building..ans i enjoyed a lots model making with these boat kits, and still enjoying..
first of all i am thanking to VC Sir, for these lovely kits.its easy to build, and value for money. its appropriate for beginner and expert as well..
I started with smaller one at first..there wasn't more to think as all it was easy. took some easy steps..starts from keel,with bulk heads..

when i got those kits, the prop, prop shaft,rudder were missing.so i have to make one own.by taking an inner tube from an old radio antenna, it was over. prop shaft was made out of bicycle spoke. Gokul gave me a scale prop, from his ship model kit collection.

the thread of the bicycle spoke was threaded in to the silicon prop, by drilling a hole in it..some drops of super glue..its fine..

Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!

roopeshkrishna

making a hole in to ahull, or an airframe of an aircraft model is easy with a round needle file attached to a drill..

Thank you Vc Sir..and once again a million thanks for the kits.. :hatsoff:
at first my intention to power this craft was with my own home made brushles, but its too powerful for this tiny craft, and the hand made ESC was some bigger to accommodate. so i turned to a smaller brush less.

all gaps were retouched by polyester putty.

roopeshkrishna

there is no compromise for the performance..so i added a kort nozzle to the prop.it also acts as a prop guard and also as a froth generator.
Phoenix.........

after thorough checking the craft was behaving like a sport horse..so i decided to add my imagination on it..whats a craft without some imagination..? so i started my own design variations on it..
i started with a dummy engine on hull..it also acts as the rudder.
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

i fixed a 1000 rpm/volts BLDC on craft.
then started to fix trimming and splash strips.all from foam board.(sun board, Styrofoam etc..)..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

then super structure..
you can see the shaft attachment to the BLDC..it was a brass tube,for the model ships.i heated up on the gas stove, and hammered to the BLDC shaft, with some 72 grade super glue.
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

rudder was actuated by a micro servo, with an easy connector..the push rod is a thin brass welding rod.
and structure is almost complete.
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

after completion of structure, i started painting..
none of any expensive paints are used, but i bought a sample tin of paint of enamel, and hand brushed it all..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

painting in progress..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

windows were made of drawing paper and seasoned..finished in aluminum paint..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

after paint ..the decals..all made in photoshop, and corel draw..
Phoenix.........
