Vliestroom construction part 1

[1958Antimatter]

I would like to see the build from the start. You skip around too much.

[keyboardken]

Thank you for your comments.

Unfortunately I'm only allowed a small time with the filming. The model took well over three months to build and i have loads of pictures but cannot get them all in.

I have made a second film you might like to see. ( search my name above to see them all) If you have any questions, I would be happy to help you

Regards

i bought a cheap rc boat and riped it apart then got a model boat kit for 1000$ and used all the stuff from the cheap on and made it it was so fun im 12 now so my mom will not buy me anymore it only took 4 weeks

[keyboardken]

Go for it, it's well worth it.

[pillowsnake94]

Man, you are serious about these. That is fantastic dedication! If I have money I'm thinking about starting a build this summer.

[lilsully17]

you got to make a vid of it in the water

[keyboardken]

Hi lilsully.

Well I thought that as well so I did. Please see Vliestroom, Part two.

Hope you enjoy it. It's a great boat to build and looks a stunner at the boat shows I go to.

Now working on the Paddle Ship Waverley.

Watch this space, as they say.

Cheers ...... Ken

Thank you. I enjoyed making her. The kit is available from Model Slipway in the UK. One of several that I've bought from them.

cheers .. Ken

nice handwork，crane is RC？

[keyboardken]

Yes and no... I do have all the motors in place but am modifying them for the forces involved.

When the latest boat is finished, I shall return to it and get it working. Watch this space...as they say... :-)

[8wd222333]

l am not very clear about you reply,especially"forces involved",but l can guess about 80%,:),well,ths for you reply,and wait for you vidos

[keyboardken]

Hi There. The drive bar, to lift the crane's arm, comes up through the centre of the cranes tube and the forces to lift it are quite severe. My first attempt pushed the crane out of the deck !!! I am looking at ways to do this better. Cheers...Ken

[8wd222333]

85% :) actually,i want build a boat for my fire engine now(watch my vido),i think should be a little rescue boat,or dive wrecking boat.i have no idea yet. Wish you boat give me more afflatus. good luck

[aslamartnet]

That is truly a work of art. A great build. I hope to have the patience to build a model with so much detail.

[keyboardken]

Thank you very much. I love doing them. Have a go, it's fun.

Watch this space ..... the Waverley Paddle Steamer is next in line ..............

thanks for the info.I love model kits.

[keyboardken]

Have you seen my Boston Typhoon on here. it's a fantastic build. So full of detail. You'll kove that one. Ken

[chileanbeauty7]

impressive!the hull what was it made of?

[keyboardken]

This was a fibreglass mould done by Model Slipway in the UK.The boat came as a kit from them without the electrics and the motors. everything else was supplied. I recommend it as an enjoyable build. Cheers...ken

[keyboardken]

Thank you. They do take a time to build, but are well worth it.

She is almost finished and I expect to show her sea trials soon, in part two

Have won the Chairmans Plaque for her in 2007 and very proud.

[tijuana08]

Thank you very much. Now sailing great. The video is taken and being sorted. It should be out soon. This is a great hobby and I encourage everyone to have a go. So interesting and time consuming. Cheers...Ken.
