@TheHawk431 Thank you!

[Trolleymoose]

Beautiful vessel. excellent presentation.

[Rapidnadion]

@Trolleymoose Many thanks!

[Jakanddaxter1999]

can u do a video on how you made the Iolaire

[Rapidnadion]

@Jakanddaxter1999 We may do that - it takes a long time to put together the how-to videos, and unfortunately these steam boat videos don't get much traction on YouTube, so it's not all that cost effective. A shame, because we love these boats.

[TheWannaBeNerd1912]

@Rapidnadion Could you make a short video on how the basic steam engine works? I'm trying to design my own RC Boat but have no idea on where to begin engine wise!

[solomonkane23]

fab!

[Rapidnadion]

@solomonkane23 Thank you!

[Mrgunlover2]

that boat engine is very,very impressive.

[Rapidnadion]

@Mrgunlover2 We appreciate the comment, thanks for watching!

[alecdepalect]

How do you make that

[texfanusa]

Quite impressed with the beautifully-detailed live steamers and the vids really do them all justice...  Thanks for sharing these!

[Rapidnadion]

@texfanusa So glad you like them - thanks for the comment! Sorry for the delayed reply, as well.

Very nice! Love the angle and he scale realistic slow-mo.

[Rapidnadion]

@mrwilliamdmoss Thank you! It was a pretty long shoot day out in the cold, but worth it for some of these shots.

[Rapidnadion]

@freitaucher Thanks, Ralph! Glad you enjoyed this one!

[Jakanddaxter1999]

damn i wanna make one of those

[dreamwisperer]

Sir, where did you find the plan for the hull ?

[Rapidnadion]

@dreamwisperer This is actually an original design!

[dreamwisperer]

@Rapidnadion Do you have the plans ? I am really interested!

[Rapidnadion]

@dreamwisperer We don't anymore, I'm afraid. We may unearth them in the future and share them, though - we're working on a website to host a lot of non-video content, and that's a place we might put some plans if we decide to "publish" them to the world. :)

[gregmoore57]

Spectacular boat and performance. An extra rations of grog for the film crew!!

[Rapidnadion]

@gregmoore57 Grog: consumed.  Thanks!

[rhysdalegend]

I am so happy i subscribed to you a while ago. great improvements in your videos :D

[Rapidnadion]

@rhysdalegend We've tried to improve with each upload! Thanks for sticking with us. :)

[TitanicWill]

1:13 Reminds me of the 1997 Titanic movie. The scene when Titanic fires up her engines to leave Southampton docks looks very much like this...

[shadowsail]

@TitanicWill Good catch! That's no accident - we were shooting for a look very reminiscent of the "take her to sea, Mr. Murdoch" scene in Titanic '97. Had the weather been better, it would have been a bit more polished. The slow-mo engine footage at 1:44 is very Titanic-ish as well.

[Rapidnadion]

@shadowsail @TitanicWill - shadowsail's reply is official.

sound like a wood-pecker

[plavins1]

This is so COOL!

[mpo1107]

Great video, nice build.

[Dirtboy101]

Wow! you are very talented! I couldn't ever make one of those from a kit, none the less from scratch. Props to you! :)

[Rapidnadion]

@Dirtboy101 Always appreciate your comments, Dirtboy. Thanks much.

[britannic192]

@Rapidnadion most certainly!

[britannic192]

@shadowsail really? you're great at it! you should make more hand-made ships and sail them!

[Rapidnadion]

[Sonjayw8]

that is really cool. where did you get the steam engine?

[shadowsail]

@Sonjayw8 The engine was ordered through a company called Gage, and the boiler came from a company called Maccsteam, Ltd.!
