All respected Friends.. i consider this model as "The Model of the Year 2012".. because i likes her much.. in look and performance.. it was my long dream to realize a POLICE CRUISER to my collection.. now she is a stunning performer and head turner..
now again i am starting from "0".. and this one is based on my imagination.. this one is fully constructed with foam board alone.. she spans in to 27 inches.. 7 inches beam extreme.. with all needed specs like flasing beacons and siren.. gunsound.. etc.. starts on bare foam board..

you can see how easy to make a boat from foam board..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

each and every part are from foam board.. place it.. and glue it..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

now the hull is complete.. and fillis the gaps with PU putty..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

sealing inside with NC putty.. diluted with NC thinner.. or can also use PS grey..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

it is so easy to make hulls from foam boards.. its fun and excitement..
and the prop and drive train..
Phoenix.........

here i am using a reworked motor, and need water cooling.. so adding a copper scoop just after the prop..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

can see the inlet from inside.. and the drive shaft.. scoop in detail..

motor mounting and cooling line attachments.. cooling jacket is made of aluminum C channel..

showing in more detail..once water cooled.. nothing to worry.. you can also use the same line to cool the ESC also.. but need to add a water cooling jacket to it..

and the exhaust tube.. always need to keep a little up, to avoid clogging.. now tested.. time for further buildups..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

as she is designed for fast missions.. a low profile is preffered.. and with an angular face to cut down the drag..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

beacon beam.. and primed.. with PS grey.. more thin coats.. more life and stiffness..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

a Police Cruiser must look stunning.. so an extra ordinary paint scheme is needed.. careful masking  and spraying is needed..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

all stickers were made of A4 paper from laser printer.. worked on Photoshop..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

decals are over coated.. within that time have to wire Police Siren circuit.. the siren circuit is based on NE 555 timer integrated chip, as two numbers to achieve the wailing effect.. here we need some handful of components to make it, costing about Rs 50/- including a little speaker..

here i am using a piece of thick paper as PCB.. later sealed with wax.. to water proof..
Phoenix.........

back side..
and beacons.. everything is made from foam board..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

checkout time.. i used blue L E D s as i saw a craft in a documentry..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

on the boat.. wiring is tricky..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna

now almost complete.. see how simple she is.. but stunning same while.. the excitement comes from lightings.. especially at night.. so, lights on..
Phoenix.........

roopeshkrishna
