Currently on year 11 of my Sterling model... Labor of love but have had it shelved due to kids being born. Any recommendations on building materials, glues, etc...? I am demotivated by your awesome work here!
@ WW II fan: Is this model scratch-built? I am not aware of a kit in that scale of the Missouri. I built the Sterling model, but did not use the kit's fittings and guns, rather I made my own as I built the entire superstructure from scratch using Styrene. The ship sank in New York's central park lake after some hooligans threw stones at it.
That was along time ago, when RC was in its infancy with escapements, vacuum tubes and heavy 60v batteries.
Hi, I like your video clip and have rated it as awesome. I've created a clip of a WW2 battleship trading card set. It is rumoured that Hitler purchased this set for his U-boat personnel.
hmmm to prevent it from sinking.. do whar RC Battleship combatanst do.. take the top deck (ie the bridge... but in the case if the iowa class (Cause the brdge is to low) take the highest point and make almost like a cap out of it so that if it sinks.. that cap like part wouls still float to the top if it sank and it is connected by a trusty string so you can pull your battleship out of the water by it... (Wouldnt want to lose 6 years worth of beautiful work)
I had a 1meter long rendition of the Mighty Mo. She's in 35 feet of water, sank in 1982 and pro bably still there!
Nicely done!

6 years to build? God damn... I'm not surprised. It's a beautiful vessel! Great job.
